NL10 FT vs Stars
 

I have been playing NL10 at both FullTilt and Pokerstars lately. I have played many more hands on Stars but I like FT better. I have winning numbers on both sites.....Seems like all is well right? Well I have a question that really puzzles me..The FT rake seems to be ENORMOUSLY higher than at Stars. Doesn't that mean that the NL10 game at FT is much harder to beat at the same rate? If any one has any info on the rake systems on the two sites or any suggestions for better strategy to beat the rake better at FT please post...

I found it really hard to beat the rake at NL10 on Full Tilt. So then I did the obvious thing and shortstacked NL25 on Party and went ROBUSTO [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

What is the Stars/Tilt rake schedule comparison?

Do you have RB?

Re: NL10 FT vs Stars
 

no I do not have rakeback........dont feel like opening a new account and re installing and everything....plus depositing is a major hassle due to living in the great U.S. of A. I dont have any info on the rakes at either site I was hoping someone else did though....

Here is why sir: FT's rake schedule for 10NL is $0.05 per $0.50 in the pot up to $2.00, while stars' sticks with $0.05 per $1.00 up to $3.00. There are so many more small pots than large pots that the difference from 2.00 to 3.00 is hardly noticeable compared to the difference between 5% and 10%.

Re: NL10 FT vs Stars
 

so what would the suggestion be? Avoid playing NL10 at FT and try to play NL25? Or is NL10 still beatable just maybe requiring some more hands played for the same numbers as Stars for net winnings..

I personally have 350$ on PS to play NL10 and 1500 on FTP to play NL25. If I start running bad on FTP, I switch to PS and play NL10 for a while.

playing on ft without rakeback is burning money

Re: NL10 FT vs Stars
 

you can still beat nl10 on full tilt, even with the rake, but it is very high. the way that the rake is structured, there are single hand caps, so as you move up, you hit that cap more often, in nl10, you pretty pay the max most of the time.

with a vp of 19, over the course of my 12000 hands, i ended up paying 8.9BB/100 in rake.
