    Reduce the rake

    Can't sit at a table heads up playing 'break even' poker for over 5 minutes without having 5% of your starting stack stack gone. Reduce the rake and it would encourage more play.

    I agree with the Rollover policy, but I really don't see the point in raking points. Remove the rake now that there is a rollover requirement.

    Makes perfectly good sense! Charging a rake on top of a losing 3x rollover is fuk'in bullshit! You're already forcing players to sit at ring games to re-win points! At least have the balls to not charge a fuk'in rake too!

    The reason they made a rollover was so that they would have the opportunity to rake back some of the points.

    This is what I was about to say.

    The reason for rollover is to encourage play at ring tables.

    The reason SBR wants to encourage play at ring games is because ring games are raked.

    If they removed the rake, there would be no point to having rollover.
