It's not going anywhere.  It'll be there no matter what.  So why fret?

I get that the house takes a cut.  What I don't get is when people obsess over it.  They're not even joking a little bit.

I was at a table with this person who kept obsessing over the house getting 10% at the penny table.  The penny table!  She was freaking out over that and a zillion woulda-coulda-shouldas.  I just don't get it.

So I said something about "Why worry about that 10% if the idea's to pull in the remaining 90%?".  She just freaked out about how bad all the players are before rattling off about 5 different statistics.  I'm all "Calm down.  Getting upset won't make any of it okay.  I know they're bad but I've been assured that you'll win in the end if you keep playing your best."

She just kept complaining that it would never happen in a real game and the house never takes nearly that much in a real game!

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.  I know you get screwed on the rake but she's building up from a freeroll!  Heck I'm playing with the house's money considering it's a bonus.  It's not like it's coming out of our pockets(other people who deposit have real gripes I suppose).

Sorry, I just don't get it and thought maybe someone would understand why people fret over the rake.

P.S.  Won't the medical bills from a heart attack over the rake actually cost more than 10% of your penny stakes buy-ins?
