wpx rake clarification

[azaycriz]

If I'm not mistaken, the rakeback I get is not my contributed rake, but the entire table's rake divided by the number of players at the table.

So if I play tighter than my opponents and win less pots, I benefit from the looser players who "pay" more rake because we all get an equal share? Is this correct?

Yes.

Not quite true as looser games creates more rake.

No, it's not that either. If I understand it correctly, it's the amount of rake that goes in on each street divided by the players contributing on that street. So if you play a lot tighter than your opponents, you will get a lot less rake back. I'm not sure whether this is comparable to contributed rake, or if it benefits loose players at the expense of tight players.

brainwalter - this is what WPEX claimed it was. but it has been determined that this is not what they are doing.

It really is total rake / # of players at table.

(unless they have recently changed it)

and this really does benefit the tighter player as suggested in the OP

[Brainwalter]

Bob- Thank you for this information. I stand corrected.

If you contribute with $10 to the pott that becomes $100 and the rake is $3, then you get $0.3...

Tighter players are not maximizing their +EV (if any).
Loosen up your game and get more rake to boot!
Is it so hard for you Nits to understand? lol
