Re: FT 2.25s? Worth it?
Hi yoursmine,
Interesting question. If you have a very limited bankroll, it might be worth paying 12.5% in rake to build back up. Indeed, $2+$0.25 is much better than the $5+$1's (i.e., 20% rake) that used to be very common on PokerRoom, Party, etc.
I have said this before in rake discussions, but I think micro-limit players should strive to achieve a bankroll adaquate for the $16's (Stars has these, other sites?) since the puny 6.7% rake cannot be found again until the $200 levels and up. Assuming you can afford to start from scratch if you bust, I would beging playing the $16's with a bankroll as low as $300 or so since the dramatic rake discount makes these games much easier to profit from in the long term. I would then keep playing these until you are over-rolled for your next buyin ... the rake is much more important than many realize, so always be vigilant when it comes to good rake deals.
Best Regards,
Collin
