i just think the rake has to be worse in los angeles, and yet their games are looser.
In Florida the standard is 10% rake up to $5. Some rooms round up, others round down (e.g. a $44 dollar part will be $5 rake if rounded up or $4 rake if rounded down). In addition to the rake, most cardrooms do a $2 jackpot drop on every pot - $1 for the first $10 in the pot and $2 when the pot hits $20. Most rooms (maybe all now) the rake and drop are taken preflop, except if the blinds are chopped; although sometimes a dealer will do it wrong and not take rake and/or drop preflop. By law, all of the jackpot money has to be returned to the players as jackpot prizes, but that doesn't apply to the Indian casinos.
