Its just not good for the longterm poker economy.
that said, i will be hypocritical and keep playing because i think its very profitable
This guy speaks the truth. It's really bad for anyone that is not rolled to play 5Ks. What I've suggested several times is that if they really want to do this, charge a big premium or reduce the number of BB they start with. But all the casino sees is a way to grab more rake while breaking the players.
