Re: Rakeback and actual rake - some questions
they all look about the same. HU actually seems cheaper at FT because it's max $.50 rake instead of $1.00 at PStars.
It looks almost identical as far as I can see, the only difference I notice is the cap is $3 for 5-handed on FTP, while it's $2 on PStars.
It's true that $10NL is double PStars, but FTP has smaller caps. FTP is 2-3 $.50, 4-5 $1, 6+ $2. Stars is 2-3 $1, 4-5 $2, 6+ $3.
PS, at $50nl over the past ~23.5k hands I paid about 3.36bb/100 to rake (it'd be interesting to see what $50nl players on Stars pay). With the 27% rb, I get 1.78bb/100 in RB, so I doubt FTP's making a killing by the slightly higher rake of 5-handed games. In fact, I calculated the discrepancy ($3 cap instead of $2 cap) this 5-handed rake cost me it came out to $16.35.
I'm sure that figure's higher at higher limits, and I think a lot more games are 5-handed, but at least at $50nl RB seems to easily cut the rake in half.
