Just running some rough numbers on rake (maybe I'm missing something) ...
I think NST is $20/day? Gemini is $25/day. So going with the lower one, if you play 5 days/week, 50 weeks/year (2,000 hours) as full-time job, you pay $5,000 in "house fees" to the club over the course of a year.
Ignoring tips for the moment, b/c I assume you are tipping the same at HCC or a club, HCC is raking up to $6 + 1. So assume an average of $5/pot? If you drag:
2 pots/hour = $10/hour rake, or $20k/year
2.5 pots/hour = $12.50/hour rake or$25k/year.
So the full time player will have to earn 15-20k more a year at the casino than at the clubs just to break even. Of course the argument is that the casino will have many more fish than the clubs had, and the games will be that much juicier. Time will tell on that one.
And this is assuming that the clubs even stay open.
