    Default Avoiding the rake.

    I have recently found out that there were two people that play eachother $500 and $1000 heads up but instead of paying the (ridicoulous) rake they decide to play $5 heads up tournaments and then just transfer the $ to the player who won. I dont know if they have played eachother so many times that this is what they have decided to do or know eachother in person.

    Idk, i just thought it was interesting. Do you think they could get in trouble for this?

    Default rake

    rake is a complete killer in many games. If they have their agreement between themselves there should be no problem (actually more strength to them I say).

    What would be interesting is to organise games at the penny limits on pokerstars ( no rake to $1).. the agree that every penny = $10!!

    I think on Pokerstars that if a table agreed to do this in chat then pokerstars would actully endorse/make all the neceassry transactions for you.
    See me playing $10/$20NL like it was play money

    Great idea.

    I soon see all the penny tables filled.

    That sounds like a very good idea

    I doubt that, then there wouldn't be anyone playing at their higher limits!
