Poker and Blackjack
I decided to gamble at the poker tables when blackjck conditions are bad at the casinos I visit. Is a 10% rake too tough to whip and has anybody had any good long term results?

I am a poker player.
Unless the game is very easy and loose, a 10% rake is very hard to overcome.
To put it another way, with a 10% rake, if 10 players were to sit down at a $5-10 game with a 10% rake each with $150.00, after 10 hours of play, there would be none of the original buy-ins left on the table! Over 10 hours, the rake (even at $5 max) eats up about $1500.00!
So the game has to be really juicey to be worthwhile.
Also, to become a winning poker player memory helps, but you will need a whole different set of skills.
