It's kinda impractical to round up every single chip you lose in a live game though, so I normally do it with $25s. Yeah, charging rake [b]and[/b] time is nasty. Crown in Melbourne did the same thing for years too, though they keep changing the format every other month. Last time I was in there I think it was $5 flat to sit down, then they raked every pot at something like 10% capped at $12 or something. Does The Star still make you go back to the cage to rebuy as well? Only played there the once (dropped two buyins in under a round LOL - JJ vs QQ on an eight-high flop and then set over set) but I had to go back to the cage between hands to get more chips. Max buyin was only $100 then too. And the way they have to deal poker out of a shoe just tilts me no end. [/QUOTE]
