Online Poker is for suckers.

Cash game rake, tournament fees, sngs fees etc are so high 9 out of 10 players are guaranteed to lose.

Examining the rake/fees closely:

Low limit cash game. $100 an hour+ comes off the table or more. Say in a 10 hour period there is $4000 on the table. In 10 hours the house has 25% of the money, $1000. In most of the pots you are risking 10 to win 9 or 30 to win 27. When 5% of every pot is missing, you are at HUGE disadvantage. You are being charged $10 an hour per table. $3 per pot X 35 raked pot an hour divided by 1/10th person is about $10 an hour person per table. It's disgusting. Playing day in day out, the house gets the overwhelming majority of the money.

$100 Sit n go. 10% fee, 9 handed, $990 total $90 for the house. $900 left for the players. The best players are only avg $10 a sng profit these days, while the house took $90 for itself almost all of which is profit. And the majority of the players in these sngs are losing at least $10 per sng. YOu have to make up the 9% of the missing prize pool just to break-even. Everyone is at a huge disadvantage.

$100 Heads up SNG. Each players pays $5 to the house. You are risking $105 to win $95. 5% disadvantage. Those odds are as bad as a roulette wheel.

$100+20 Multi-table Tournament = 17% of the prize pool to the house. Its a joke.


The house takes just about all the $. I guaranteed 90,000 out of 100,000 on pokerstars and Full Tilt are LOSERS. Id bet my life 2 out of 3 2+2ers are losers. 5% of every pot missing in cash games, 9% of every prize pool in tournaments is SO MUCH TO OVERCOME. ONLINE POKER and raked poker games in general are basically for suckers. 90% of the players have to be losers. What Ive written is true. I'm sure most of you will argue against me and say I'm wrong. Wake up, just all poker players are being robbed blind. IT's SO OBVIOUS, ITS RIDICULOUS. HOW CAN EVERYONE BE SO IGNORANT?


I'd love for some really bright people to comment on what I've written.
I dare David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth or how about Barry Greenstein or Brandon Adams or other super smart high stakes playes to chime in on this thread. I'm sure they wont though. They know I'm right. Online poker is basicallly a scam. WITH SO MUCH FIN $$$ GOING TO THE HOUSE, ONLINE POKER IS SUCH AN UPHILL BATTLE FOR THE AVERAGE LOW LIMIT PLAYER.
The majority should quit playing right now. FLAME AWAY.

yeah online poker is FOR SUCKAS. you heard it first two plus two, YOU GUYS ARE ALLS UCKAS.

Yeah, tipping dealers is much cheaper than rakeback.

You mean most people lose at online poker? dramabomb...

I agree completely

I mean loads of people on this website make thousands a year playing online poker, what suckers. I wish I was cool enough to register an account to flame a poker forum when I dont really know what im talking about, unfortunately im not.

This post was better when you did it as BorgataBabe80 and IWINORIDIE.
