Re: I did the math for you. Pokerstars Rakeback
" However, as long as the amount of rake taken in a hand is between 40c and $1"
Okay, this is all kind of weird and doesn't really help a whole lot.
Yes, if the rake is always between 40c and $1 then you will do better than on a table where the take is exactly $2 on every hand.
Unfortunately, this NEVER happens.
On the lower-stakes tables you will also have hands that are raked less than $0.40 in which you get zero VPP's but still had MGR.
And you will have hands that make it over $1 also.
Besides that, the general point that "RB is usually going to be better on .5/1 NL then on 10/20 NL is pretty meaningless to almost anyone.
If you switch from 10/20 to .5/1 because your rakeback is 3 points higher than you might be the stupidest poker player ever.
The only real question for most people is, "What is the RB at the stakes that I play...and what would the RB be if I played at a different site instead?"
