75% RB is great, but with no HUD, higher rake, and tougher competition there are other sites out there that will be more profitable.

No-limit holdem to me has never been a problem as far as the rake goes (less so with rakeback), it being more important to have good games, multitabling (the other table covers at least the rake) - bigger and looser sites and PokerTracker and its softwares make all that possible.

Limit poker's rake is the problem at most all places. At WPEX the -75% only makes playing 2-4 and 3-6 there suspect as the games are not that good (as a sportsbook place its not typically loose though the aggression partly is/was) and multitabling is suspect without software helps and the straight type of rake hurts there the most (about a double rake), except about heads up (50c cap - though propping that would be 0c as long as it stays heads up). With no rakeback 25c/$5 after a days play at 2-4 means $50 more rake compared to no rake before $20 (that's how it originally ever since from 1999 was and still is at some places - the games are there tougher), while with 50c/$10 the 2-4 sucks in that case an extra $25. There are also jackpot games these days at some places like Absolute and Party, spoiling those games further as it's a 50c extra drop that could double the rake again. Now limit poker rates to get more props (there are some sites with enough to plenty customers too in case one plays at least 2-4 or 3-6 and similarly at big bet poker) as they don't generally pay rake, and the bonus players together with rakeback deals, multitabling. At least in my case WPEX is now out as there are better deals for me till I work my way up to $5-$10 at least.
