    Probably because the exact same number of people would play 7.70s as 6.50s and by opting for the former they generate an extra $3.60 in rake / 180 that runs, which I'm guessing adds up over time?

    Good point ye they need the money... But actually no I think slightly cheaper would fill way faster. In the micros they have the 180 turbos at a smaller stake than the 45 turbo. $2.20 to the $3.25. Then the 180 non turbo is a slightly higher stake. WIth the going low stake 45 turbo buy in being $6.50, they have the non turbo 180 set correctly in line with micro lay out, the buy in being $11. They also have a £12 180 turbo so I think twould make alot more sense and generate way faster fill ups if they set it to $5.50 and not $7.70. $2.20 upto $7.70 is a difference of $5.5, then $7.70 to $12 is a difference of $4.30??? Senseless. A $5.50 jobby would make the step up difference $3.30 then $6.50. Basic maths in my book :-/
