one secret to my poker playing buddies here....7 card stud! you have to ante every hand so every hand that is raked you get credit for even if you never call a hand...
I think that if you are required to put money in the pot for it to be counted it is ridiculuous. It shows that they don't understand poker. There is a forced bet in holdem, twice every round, that results in the cost of playing the game being at least the same for stud of comparable stakes.
Bet365 poker was like this but it seems to have changed. They use Prima poker and I think the software likely was incapable of doing anything else before revision. There is now a function for checking the number of raked hands.
Who's software is Bowmans using?
Edit: Maybe I'm thinking of Sportingbet poker regarding the rake issue. They use Boss Media software.
