Rakeback vs rake paid on the site... What is better???
 

Ok guys, I asked for a rakeback on FTP but could'nt since I was one of the first player who registered with them and they don't want to convert my account....

I'm playing HU cash game 0.5-1$NL or 1-2$NL on Betson and on FTP ... I have a rake back on Betson of 35% and for FTP, I have a bonus that is equivalent of a 6% rakeback but this bonus is not always running....

Here is my question: On Betson, the max rake you can pay on any given hand is 1$ and on FTP it's only 0.50$. Do you think it approximately comes to the same for the rake I pay?
Or put it another way: if i'm playing the same hands on each site, wich one let more money in my pocket??? Don't forget it's HU....

tx for the answers and for those who will say i should put it on another place on the forum cause it's about rake back, I ask to you since you play HU and not them.... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The best way to figure out how much rake you are paying is to use poker tracker, unless they don't support Betson.

The difference between $1 and $0.50 rake caps is huge. Assuming opposition is similar, you'll do far better at the site with a $0.50 cap even with no rakeback, if you're hitting the cap consistently.

The only question is how often you are hitting the cap at such low levels. Especially at .5/1 NL you may be better off at Betsson simply because you'll have a lot of raked pots that don't even get to $10.

I'd give serious consideration to UB at those stakes as well. They have a $0.50 cap and their bonus is 20% rb equivalent, plus whatever points for cash would be worth to you.

No they don't... I glanced through quickly and mistook the HU PL games for them. Sorry.
