WPEX 5/10 with rakeback or PARTY 5/10 without rakeback?

Whats more profitable? (limit holdem)

At 3/6 its definitely WPEX according to my stats but 5/10 the rake is less of an issue so i'm not sure and i don't want to find out the hard way!

I previously posted rakeback and Aces Never Lose rates for 10/20 and 5/10 over in Internet Bonuses in a now locked thread about WPEX. I repost them here so they will be easy to find.

....................................

10/20 6-max: 16,152 hands in 125.7 hours with a multi-table ratio of 1.08 and average players getting cards of 5.2. 1.08*125.7 = 135.7 table hours. MGR=rakeback= $5,120. Hourly = 5,120/135.7 = $37.7/hour.

10/20 6-max rakeback: $37.7/hour.

I averaged 119 hands/tablehour. Playing during Aces promo, I'll see aces once every 221 hands, or 1.85 hours on average, and if we assume they lose 1 time in 5, then they will lose once every 9.25 hours for a bonus of $75 bucks. That is $8.10/hour more.

Total bonus playing during Aces promo at 10/20 6-max: $45.80/hour.

10/20 full ring stats: 14,446 hands. Average players/hand: 7.47 . MGR: $4,353.59 . Hours: 134.07 . Multitable ratio: 1.1 Table hours: 147 . Hands/hour: 98 .

10/20 full ring (7.5 players average dealt in) rakeback: $29.5/hour

Aces promo 10/20 full ring (7.5 players): 2.26 hours to see an ace, 11.3 hours for cracked. $6.6/hour.

Total bonus at 10/20 full ring (7.5 players): $36.1/hour.
