WSEX = RAKE FREE!

If your calculations are correct Bigbluffer,then it is not 100% rakeback.The contributed method would be 100% rakeback.

But this way would be even better for TAGs

You definitely have a valid point there JOEL_. But Rake/N works out exactly in my analysis of 9 hands. The contributed method would've given me 70% less rakeback in this situation.

For a tight-arse player like myself, this works to my advantage. However, a looser player would be getting screwed.

I wondered about these calculations myself.

I'm guessing they don't know how the calcs are being done.

Or it's possible that they were SUPPOSED to be doing it the contributed way but they accidentally put it in the 'dealt-hand' way.

Maybe they were briefly trying to fix this yesterday (when everybody's rake-meter was down) and then just said, "screw it. we'll do it this way for now and fix it later."

Remove the words "I'm guessing" and your statement would be 100% accurate. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I asked support, and they didn't seem to know what method they were using to calculate rake. However, I went through my hand histories, and figured out that they are giving you back rake exactly like MGR, not how much rake was taken from pots you won.

The amount in rake listed under their cashier to be given back to me is exactly the same as if you divide the rake taken from a pot to all players who participated in the hand evenly. So, you can fold all your hands, and you are still getting rakeback.

They might change the system, but this is how it worked for my play on April 3.

Of course, evenly distributing the rake is much better than figuring it out based on who really contributed the most, for winning players. I'd prefer they use the rake/n method. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[MicroBob]

Yes. I hope they continue to use this method.

rake/n seems to work for me too, with a small sample size. I would think if you win a $22.25 pot and pay $2.25 in rake, your rake meter should go up by $2.25. Guess that's not the case, 10 contributing players each get 0.225 (or 0.22, didnt do enough calc to see where the rounding goes.)
