Stars rake?

ZingyDNA · #1 11-08-2006, 12:40 AM

Not sure what forum should I post this. I recently migrate to stars and I just found out I pay 50% more rake per hand on avarage. Anyone else has this problem? I play 50NL 6max.
(It could be because small sample cuz I have only 1k hands)

What do you want us to say...

The rake table is somewhere in pokerstars.com

Can't do anything about it....soo......

Your pots must be 50% bigger then. They rske $.05 per $1 $3 max just like every other room at NL50.

I reviewed the hands and I think stars include uncalled bets in the pot. I had quite a few hands where I put short stacks allin and I bet too much. I think that's the reason I pay too much rake...

I don't think party does the same when I played there.

Stars does not rake uncalled bets.

There have been many posts recently where players new to Stars have complained about Stars having a higher rake than Party. I love this! These new players to stars can not do simple math related to rake calculations. This can only be good for the games.

Stars has the lowest rake of any major site. Stars rake is based on only the called bets. I think Pacific Poker actually would rake uncalled bets but I do not remember playing anywhere else that did this.

Granted, you do not get third party rakeback at Stars but all the players from Party that can calculate rake and understand the concept of rakeback are playing on Full Tilt. This means the Stars games are getting better and the Full Tilt games are getting tougher.

Bugsy's Club is the only other room I have ever seen do this recently. ACR did it back on the days of their promo bucks on Dobrosoft.
