Game: NLHE | Format: Cash | Blinds/Antes: 1/2 | Effective Stacks: 100 bb | Hero Position: UTG | Pot Size: 1.5 bb In a game with 'time collection' (a fixed hourly fee) instead of a 'per-pot' rake, how does the strategic distortion change?

1. Stack-to-pot ratios become less important because the rake is fixed.
2. Playing more hands is incentivized because the cost per hand decreases with volume.
3. The player should tighten their opening ranges to avoid paying the hourly fee.
4. The house fee should be treated as a percentage of every pot won.
