It is possible this game is unbeatable. First you need to figure out if the competition is poor enough for this to be a profitable game.

I wouldn't play this game, this rake structure makes 0 sense.

Agree with all above. Can’t imagine you can beat this for much at all. I think you can, but it’s almost not even worth it because your winrate will be so insanely low.

If you are to play it, you have to play super tight in all regards

Btw, I would like to recall my opinion.... I would play it all loose goosey, I think this structure is made for socialize LOL .

Imagine I drink my free cognac with a goosey sandwich, peaking cards. ;>

i think this rake structure is common, online maybe rake higher such as GG?lol, maybe tight and include 3bet and dont 4bet bulff, if you can win a lot , continue play it , otherwise leave it,if you want win

More rake means less EV means every hand from move one gets dragged down.

There is an extra dollar in the blinds which incentivizes you to play wider, but the extra rake incentivizes you to play tighter. Hard to say which one has the greater effect on your opening strategy, but it will probably be the rake

A lot of preflop theory is geared towards no-flop no-drop. It's why you're supposed to 3bet huge preflop oop. It's why 3b/fold is so common. Without the incentive to take down the pot pre, you're less incentivized to play hyper-aggressive pre. There will still be raises of course, but I imagine a lot of hands shift from raises to calls.
