But for those of us who rely on the $2/5 as a means of income, the BBJ is the equivalent of a 20% tax hike. That type of hit to our wallets is worthy of a little outrage.
Just claim 20% less in winnings on your tax return!! Seriously though, it's like what, $4 extra in rake per hour probably, plus or minus a couple bucks depending on how many hands you like to play. In addition you could still win or at least be at the table when it;s hit one day. In addition the games will get slightly better when it's high. So it's not as if they are just raking a $1 more and thats that.

Lovely, good luck Parx and that one. Like others said the dealers will probably be more vigilant for the first couple weeks then everything goes back to normal

It's mainly the older regs in those games I would classify as miserable, I'm not talking about every single one either, some I like very much. Most of those older guys don't play for a living and are probably breakeven or slight losers but just make the game miserable.
My problem with the younger guys who reg the 2/5's at Parx are they take it so serious and are just not fun to be around at the table. I'm talking about the ones who are playing for a living and would be considered grinders. I'm friends with quite a few but they just don't make it a fun game compared to other casinos I've played a lot of 2/5.
One exception would be that kid Chris, really good looking with a big round head, talks all the time, plays music for the whole table, plays really long sessions. Kid is a baller and makes the games fun.
