$22,999.50

[Talking Poker]

So, I just happened to log on to Full Tilt, getting ready to play, when I noticed John D'Agostino playing Heads Up at the $50/$100 NL tables.

I watched two hands, including this one. How sick is this?

P.S. Gotta love the 50 cent rake.

Whew...I bet that hurt Jason.

Fifty cents in rake? 30K pot and they only rake 50 cents, hope he's not playing on a rakeback plan, he's getting screwed.

[Boobie Lover]

Why is it that everytime anyone posts a hand at high stakes there are always multiple comments about "OMG 50K with $1 rake"? High limit people have good rake structure, get over it.

[Penguinfan]

Relax, read the whole post, it was a joke. But just to be certain, I am sure John D is not worried about 25% of a .50 rake, honestly I know that.

[JDMcNugent7]

u realize the more rakeback $ u get, the more $ u actually lost to rake, right?

[Penguinfan]

Yep, but getting some back is better than getting none back.
