(19+25/3)/19 = 44% rake increase or,
(19+25/3-2.5)/19 = 31% rake increase after rake back if you spend it on food
As far as my eating habits are concerned it's closer to a 85% rake increase.
A regular person does NOT eat every 3 hours. Unless you consider being morbidly obese regular. Or you’re a body builder. You can have snacks then, but to order full meals every 3 hours is 100% not the norm.
That being said... what is the rake anyways?
Playground was always my favorite place to go for tourneys 1-2x a year and I’ll still do that. I’m not a local for cash games so I can’t speak on the rake behalf. I always recommended PG to everyone in update NY for 1) tourneys 2) competent staff 3) very good dealers 4) clean environment 5) 10/10 women.
Prob been there 10 times in my life and only played cash 2-3 times. Always heard how bad rake was but never really thought of it much as I didn’t grind cash.
