Starting the first of September they changed the way that they calculated the rake. My biggest player there was making me on average $150 a month beforehand. He played the same number of hands last month and I made $22 from him. I make much more per player elsewhere, after the change. As to your other questions, you tend to make money over time on poker players. The few casino players I have tend to give the whole amount up front, if that makes sense. I wouldn’t give up on poker, but the great majority of the wealthy here are making loads more from casinos than poker.
