Yes, Kahnawake is just poker. Greedy businessmen keep trying to propose full casinos that would probably ruin the Mohawk community, but it has been voted down so far.
Players with a clue prefer more beatable rake instead of being raped, but degenerate gamboolers are attracted by the "free" (actually very expensive!) food, bad beat jackpot rake, high hand rake. The WPT and other tournaments there also have higher than average rake (including the hidden 3% fee for staff gratuities).
It will take competition such as Snake's $10/hour promotion for the Kahnawake rooms to lower their hard-to-beat rake. I'm looking forward to trip reports about Snake's from the many players invading Kahnawake this year.
GTA Poker;357782 wroteSo, you are meaning that Playground is just poker
:
The fact that they have a good rake structure in their tournaments likely means that they are using the tournaments to draw more players to the cash games and to promote the room to take moar rapes.
The smokescreen of free food is blurring your vision;)
This is what is blurring Playground players who don't mind being raped. Is it worth $14 per pot?
