Where do "professional" poker players play at? Im learning more about poker to expand my ability to assault casinos, i have been playing in private games with success. I went to a casino to inquire about any tournaments they may be holding since i happened to be there that day. They explained to me that the tournament cost 52 dollars, of which 12 goes straight to the casino!! I was so shocked by this that i begin to question weather playing poker at a casino is feasible to actually expect a profit. That 12$ commission represents something of a 20% disadvantage! I just don't see how any player can hold an edge over other players larger than that so they expect to win money. And what about in the games where they take a rake? like a commission out of every pot. How do you overcome that? Most importantly, how do you KNOW/PROVE that you are expecting to overcome those factors?
