Feel that unlike Encore Boston there will be competition so wouldn't be massively surprised if it wasn't $10+.

In Chicagoland there are a few rooms and the highest is actually the one furthest from the city (GVC - $7+1, maybe $7+2).

the rake will probably be the highest in the country and no one will care

$30? Or you mean up to $30?

And i agree if its the highest in the country nobody will care. Might have to play higher stakes to make it more worth the while

Raises another question, what stakes will time start at and what will time be? If rake is 10% with $10+ cap, who’s to say they won’t make 5/10 a rake game, or make time $20/hh?

up to $30 but in these games hardly anyone folds so at least in case of PLO it's a max rake just about every hand
