Poker’s FairTax
Capitalism and Poker make for a good discussion as much as the Mayans and 2012. Specifically, tournament take-out percentages. While the 2011 WSOP scale, see below, looks like the wealthy get a bigger break, that’s not exactly true. How many players only play the 50K event? How many players spend 50K on other events?
