Timed rake

Post by ftpjesus »

Finally thought of something to add to PM that would be cool.. Again wont see it till PM7 or PM8 Im sure but a timed rake option would be cool as an option (allowing a varied time frame such as 5,10,15,20,30,45,60mins)

Isn't that more of a brick and mortar thing to simplify rake collection? Don't see why anyone would want that for online games where players come and go way more often.

Its is normally Ill give you that.. But my thoughts are if somebody were offering some real money equivalent poker it might more likely attract some higher stake players if they only had to pay a timed rake option vs per hand.. Also in some cases private poker is legal in some jurisdictions if they offer seat rentals vs actual rake per hand collection so hence why I mentioned it... Was just a thought.. Im sure there is a way for a site to do it without direct inclusion in the server software but it would make it potentially easier.. My thought was an option of instead of per hand, a flat rake of like 1-2BBs/30mins or hour depending on stakes instead of per hand it might even encourage more play by folks seated if the negative EV of paying rake per hand by jumping in as lost money upfront vs just paying for a seat at the table.. Anyway just my .02cts
