Party and Stars 3/6 6-max rake in BB/100

[PokerPadawan]

Little strategy here, so feel free to move to Internet if you want mods, but this concerns 6-max players and has been talked about a lot lately.

With all the new VIP programs it seems helpful to know the rake in BB/100 at both sites, so I logged (*cough* datamined *cough*) some hands at Party this week to compare to my Stars rake numbers. Here's what I found for 3/6 6-max:

Party: 2.88 BB/100
Stars: 2.43 BB/100.

This means Party's rake is 19% higher. With the new Stars VIP program (equivalent to maybe 5% rakeback), this would put Party at 25% higher.

I thought this was interesting. I didn't realize the difference was so large. Something to consider when looking at winrates from different sites.

Now if we just knew how much game selection was worth in BB/100. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
