Just play and find out, IMO.
Finally some logic. The 1/2 game in my room is raked at 10% max $5+$2 plus a normal $1 tip.
That's $8 for any pot $50 pot. This listed game is $5 for a $50 pot.
It takes an $80 pot before rake and tip is equal in these 2 games.
Over $80 pot and you start paying more.
How many pots are over $80? Actually that doesnt matter. It only matters how many pots YOU win that are over $80 before you pay more rake than you would in my room. All the smaller pots, you are getting off cheaper than you would in my room.
So either you are paying somewhere near the same rake as you would in my room or you are in amazingly loose profitable games that will make up for the extra rake. A really good player will massacre your game.
