This Live Casino has pretty steep rake structure right?

"The blinds for No Limit Texas Hold Em cash game are $2 and $3, the rake structure is 10% or capped to $10.

The buy-ins are $100 minimum and $300 max.

Sorry we don’t do PLO.

At the moment we are not running any tournaments."

This was the email I got from Queenstown Casino, to my knowledge 10% is very very high even for live rake? I guess the $10 cap isn't too bad if you're going after full $300 stacks, but my cash game style is playing for small pots with a low WTSD%, so this would not really be ideal for me right? Is 10% too high to even have a decent winrate despite tons of fishy players available (Queenstown is a busy tourist destination)

I haven't really played much casino poker, but I did enter a $65 buy in tournament and cashed for $378 a month ago, and some ridiculous shit was going down like people going all in (with double stacks!!!) for A5o vs Q3s (Q3 hit trips to win lol) I imagine it would be just the same.

I started off poker as SSS then moved to BSS so am familiar with both, so the plan would be come to table with $100 and aim to switch to BSS by the end of the night if all goes well, as this is what I'm most familiar with.

Well your bb/100 is also much much higher at live. The cap is sorta too high, 10% seems alittle too high but pretty reasonable.

I said the cap is totally shit. If the cap was $4 orso it would been fine.

So cap $4 and rake 10% = fine.

I play NL100 with 10% rake and a cap of 3$, very beatable

What would you say about a $10 cap though? Still worthwhile?

I never heard of such a high rake to be honest. I think the worst i've seen is 5% uncapped, but i don't know how much better this is compared with what your casino offers.

It's probably beatable but it woudn't hurt to search for better offers.

I think it would be very hard tbh, unless the players are very very bad.
