That's just batting practice. If you can't play better than people just playing for fun who like to gamble and see a ton of flops then you really suck at poker. They're all take a no give. If you want give up some short term ev for the good of the game then at best you are a complete clown who doesn't remotely understand what your job actually is.
Rooms that let mis regs dictate policy just create a race to the bottom. What matters is what the bad players want not the good players.
Also lol@ the poster complaining about 11 dollar an hour time charge. You'd have to be such a filthy nit for that not to be a good deal.
Truth. I play what can be considered high stakes at most rooms, and regs still get excited by the jackpot. Raking me an extra dollar a pot for something I’m unlikely to ever win still puts money in my pocket every day.
