Thats pretty crazy. Question: See bold above

[Robbr25]

I was joking, telling them to fold.

[studiopet]

Gotcha...I'm an idiot....

[CardSharp]

That's the moast beautiful thing I have ever seen! Lol I saw a straight flush on the board once(I think to the 7) but never a royal flush...

[Zybomb]

there was a broadway straight on the board one time (no flush possibility out there) and the pot was three handed. I was last to act, and the pot was bet and RAISED ALL IN, before it got to me -- I seriously went off on both players telling them how big of idiots they are and that they were charging themselves rake for a split pot....man that pissed me off

(im drunk, this should make sense)(

[Talking Poker]

This is only true if you're not already at the max rake, which you probably are. AND.... if there is ANY chance that someone wil misread their hand or the board or whatever, making this push is HUGE +EV. Depending on the amount of money in that pot vs. the exact amount of increase in rake (divided by the numbr of players), this probably only needs to work 1% of the time (MAX - probably a fraction of that) to be +EV.

Think about it.

Yup, this annoys me if the pot is really low, in quite a big game, as even a small bet will max the rake out, im gona off on a couple of people for it. In a tourney i dont care what happens, or if the rake is at its cap, as it can work, but not in a low pot with rake to go.....
