This thread seems like a good thread to ask in: In the poker subreddits the rake question comes up from time to time, and with the low cost and high quality of inference I have been considering making rake-free poker. The model is a small monthly subscription like $4.99/month for low stakes $9.99/month for mid stakes, one account per player, 20 tables max. This actually would make a lot of marginally losing spots int…

With any kind of gambling site your major cost will be credit cards chargebacks and other fraud. >>Is there anything I could do at a practical level to keep the game fair? (no tools, no bots, no collusion.) You can try catching unsophisticated cheaters. It will be expensive. There isn't anything you can do about sophisticated dedicated cheaters.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not a pro player but I do well enough recreationally in local clubs when I play. GTO in my experience is really not a threat. Most players dont play GTO and against bad players GTO is not a factor. I've played with solvers before but I see no value for my current stakes. Nor do I feel that GTO is important. Perhaps in computer simulations but... its all theoretical and just fun and games. You'd need to play HU agains…

I also play recreationally and pretty much agree. The average person at $1/2 or $2/5 is playing on mostly emotion no where near GTO. I think it does have some benefit in how you think about the game, how to mix in bluffs, expected value, but it's not really GTO math specific and more general ideas.
