NLTRN: Softness vs. Fees
If the softness of sites ranges from 1-10 (10 being softest) and a site with 5% fees is 6, how soft would a site with 10% fees have to be (all else being equal) in order to be equally profitable?

I was kind of thinking 8,5 or something. Is that a bad estimate?

I don't know the answer, but even if the more expensive site was slightly +EV I wouldn't play there, I don't like supporting being ripped off.

I don't think there's a site tough enough that charges 5% at any low or medium level that is worse than a very soft site charging 10%.
I guess Party is that soft 10% site. |

11+
Just do the math. The rake difference between 5% and 10% is horrible. For example: standard 60% winner at site with 10% rake will have to play by almost 50% more games (e.x. 150 games) than his 60% counterpart playing at site with 5% rake (e.x. 100 games)to make the same profit. You must be really big winner at soft site to make up for that and the question is if it is sustainable. |

[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] No. It is pretty hard to put in words what the joke is about, but it is something like this: I have been discussing the importance of being fit in a thread on Pokertips.org. And like in this thread I wanted to have an accurate answer to a question which no one really knows the answer to. I wanted to know how much the winrate of a super-fit pro would drop to if he became in a simply ok state of fitness given his current hourly rate is $33. I have made several such threads in the past, and jimmytrick is here making fun of the two threads specifically and my such threads in general. Also jimmytrick doesnīt like me, and that somehow makes it a little more funny than otherwise. |
