So lets say you are playing live. Everyone buys in with 200 at 1/2NL, 9 players. is it possible for the table to go broke b/c of rake??? if they played that long? yes?

If nobody rebuys, no new players take seats after people bust, and the last two don't stop playing until they have nothing left, yes.

Those three things never happen in a real game.

Let's put it this way - When I open Poker Tracker and look at the first tab, I see that the total amount of rake I have paid Poker Stars is nearly twice my net profit.

Yeah, ain't this sad ?? the rake is unbelievable, but at the lower-limits, that's just the way it is, I try to avoid looking at that number in my Poker Tracker
