Re: Bored now. Invent a novel poker variant.
Here's a game I dreamt of playing last night that actually could be a fun game. I'll name it Asspoke, since it is very similar to the game of [censored]. It could be played in two different ways:

On which side is it better to err?

If I have a hand where I'm...

Your post does make a lot of sense, and answers a lot of questions, but I find myself in the dark about some things.
There is one assertion in particular that you've made which I'm unsure is...

Re: I did the math for you. Pokerstars Rakeback
Sorry, I wasn't clear in that last comment I made. That statement was in reference to games where the rake would typically exceed $2 on every hand. In that case, most hands would likely have $3 of...

Re: I did the math for you. Pokerstars Rakeback
Alright, I see your points, and can see that FPP/$ at those levels probably isn't better. In any case, the numbers above essentially represent the maximum rakeback, and depending on your stakes...

Re: I did the math for you. Pokerstars Rakeback
Sorry, for some reason I had the impression that the maximum rake at 6-max was $2 not $3. Oops!
As for the 200NL, I am not wrong. If the average pot were $8 then the majority of them would have...

Re: I did the math for you. Pokerstars Rakeback
At 6max, bronzestar is 2FPP for $2 of rake divided among 6 people, at $0.0159 per FPP. That's 9.54% rakeback.
So it goes:
Bronze - 9.54%
Silver - 14.31%
Gold - 19.08%
Plat - 23.85%
Nova -...

Re: 16: Bubble SnG standard right?
I don't see how a stop+go is better than pushing preflop here. The *only* time we have any FE on the flop is if villain whiffed, and in that case we want him to call anyway. With a stop+go, all of...
