Unique german rake structure - ridiculously low or high? (1 Viewer)

[OfficerLovejoy]

I don't have many casinos in my neck of the woods and even the closest one takes about an hour to get to.

When I recently asked what their rake structure is because I saw the dealer rake a €10 chip in a medium sized pot, they handed me this card.

What do you guys think about this structure?
I'm pretty sure Vegas casinos rake ~10% but cap it way sooner than $25.
The german casinos rake (at least in most pots) less than 10% but don't cap it until the pot hits 250bb. This seems pretty high...

I don't know, maybe someone can run the numbers and come to a conclusion what model is better for the player.

Also: chop the blinds yes/no?

For a 1/2 game seems high

It felt real high at 2.5% to 10% and capped at $25 for $1/2 game

Comparing to Singapore Casino Poker Rake

The lowest stake here is $10/20 game and the rake is Fixed at 5% capped at $75 per pot, worst part is you get rake even if no flop was dealt

Both are equally bad rake

the casino i work at max rake is £10, 5% rake

Seems high without knowing what the average pot would be here. If most pots are under 100, then probably not. Also, do they count a not-called bet as part of the pot? e.g. if the pot is $80, you bet $50 and the player folds, do they count that as a $130 pot? If so, that sucks.

The only way I would agree to chop blinds is if it is agreed upon that both my blinds are chopped every time. If not, then I am not giving up the BB position advantage, then having to play my SB oop.
