High Rake on Party Limit tables (Low stakes)?

[The_Wreck]

I have heard Party's rake on FL $0.50/1 and $1/2 tables (full and 6-max) is very high compared to others. Is this correct, and is it worth playing at this level with such a high rake in your opinion. Maybe Pokerstars is better?

The monster tables really cut into your profits.

.5/1 is ok. 1/2 is pretty bad but you can still clear a 1.5bb/100 rate with decent play. At .5/1 the pot gets raked at 5bbs while at 1/2 every pot that hits 2.5 bb's is raked. So you'll be giving out 50 cents for several small uncontested pots. That adds up pretty quickly.

i'm going to say 2/4 limit got it the worst. but i have not done any math. The 1/2 and .5/1 tables are not monster tables. So 1/2 is probably better then 2/4 in terms of rake until the promo is over

I think the rake at Party 1/2 makes the games unplayable. Especially at 6 max. If that is your game you are much better off anywhere else except for Pokerroom.

No math, but I saw a 100 nl hand with a $.40 Rake, and $.50 monster drop. At 2/4 limit I believe the worst it can be is $1 rake and $.5 drop.

i've been tracking my rake at 2/4 and the monster adds -1bb/100 to your winrate. normal rake is about -2.5bb/100 as well. i told party im done with their site unil they drop the monster or give me rakeback. party low limit monster = --EV [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
