Rake is not… simple. As players, yes we should fight for lower rake. But it’s expensive to run tournaments (do you want dealers and other front line workers to be employed and have a livable wage or not)? Also, poker is constantly under threat. Tournaments especially are low…

Las Vegas hotel occupancy dropped nearly 15% in June and another 17% in early July — the steepest decline among the top 25 U.S. tourism markets, according to new data from Smith Travel Research. 13.2% fewer international travelers visited Las Vegas in June compared to last year.

One significant but rarely discussed impact of not having enough small chips on the table: A rec player will be faced with a bet, but need to call with a big chip, usually something where the change involved is a non round number. They’ll pick up the chip, think, and then FOLD.
