Thanks. I've been playing around with the numbers but can't quite seem to understand it. For one thing the average rake != total rake / #hands (I've used both total #hands as well as #raked hands).

If my 3/6 HU game is averaging 0.46 rake. What does that mean?
$0.46/hand * 100 hands/100 hands = $46/100 hands. Which means that the game is taking $46/100hands / $6 = 7,67 BB/100 hands which can't be right or can it? Or is it total average rake (not only the rake I pay) which means that the amount I pay is ~7,67/2 = 3,83 BB/100 hands (assuming I win 50% of the pots).

Wow... rakeback FTW.

Yeah but the only thing that really matters is how much rake is taken out of pots you actually win. Who cares how much everyone else is paying? On the general tab in PT, under the Total Rake column, shows how much rake was taken out of pots that you won.

Hence me dividing by 2 in my calculations. If you're winning more/bigger pots by being better than the opposition I guess you pay a little more than half the rake, tho.

With rakeback (27%) I estimate the rake being approx 2.8 BB/100. If you win more than you're opponent we can make this 3 BB/100. That's still a lot. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
I hope someone chimes in with some 5/10-rake numbers. I'm curious to hear if it's noteably better/more profitable.

Sethy,
I actually like the new avatar better than the old one. It's strangely appropriate.

They read your soul obv.

[acehole60]

Wow, yeah that is sick. It'll be mildy profitable at best. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Good thing I'm running red hot then. I don't feel confident moving up to 5/10 yet but it seems like the only reasonable thing to do.
Do anyone have stats about the rake in the 5/10 HU games?

[sethypooh21]

Haw, haw
