goin the pca for the first time in a few weeks. can some1 just verify for me how the cash games rake work. so its $3 on flop, $1 turn, $1 river is that right? but what does @$20 and @$40 mean?

If you're going anyway, why not just wait until you're there given that the rake has no bearing on whether you go or not

You'll have a hard time finding cheaper rake for live cash anywhere in the world

looks like $1/$1 is paid if the pot reaches $20/$40.

I don't get the $3 otf tho, does that mean every flop?
Guess min opensize @ 1/2 is $5?
Anyways $3 every flop would be ridic.

As far as i remember and the only poss it makes sense to me:
The '3$ on flop' just means there is a maxrake of 3$/hand and no-flop-no-drop.
The 1@20 and 1@40 means they take the 3$ in 1$ steps when its full 5%, at 20/40/60 so that i.e. 15 will be rakefree and 39 still pays 1$.
This is one of the cheapest liverakestructures I've seen worldwide!

does anyone have an idea what games will run regularly? Will 5/10 through 25/50 (NL or PLO) be going?

The real rake on PCA is the hotel, and you dont have much of a choice. Games are dirt cheap compared to any other place.

$1/$2, $2/$5, $5/$10 = $5 per half hour
$10/$20 = $8 per half hour

imo is more reasonable

Last year the games had to end at 4am (casino rules or something like that). I think they restarted at 12, maybe 2 for HS games.

Didn't realize that, indeed 20bb minbuyin is kinda ridic. Should be 50bb as it is nearly everywhere else in live games. Dunno what's ps' idea behind making the games that shallow?!!??!

Been there twice and as I remember the games were obv not super sweet, but when you catch a table where a drunk vacationer is sitting it could become a nice evening...

I'm in Germany and nearly all of the nice fishy homegames around here are 5% uncapped (also prefl) what makes them unplayable imo.
