Re: On Rake
Depends on the structure of the rake but your answer is limit.

Re: On Rake
But - if you are talking about reality - don't worry about it. Nothing can be done about it. If you are REALLy worried play WSEX but the drawback is that what you gain in rake you lose in game play.
There is no free lunch! Just like playing Stars who of the raked sites have the smallest % - however - they also tiny pots. You have to take average potsize into account also. BUT - I digress! LOL |

LOL [/ QUOTE ] ceteris paribus = all things being equal. im not worried about paying rake im asking for a different reason - i.e. propping i play loads of heads up where 110% rakeback will seriously impact your ev assuming you play both games equally well at equal stakes, hence i included ceteris paribus |

Re: On Rake
Limit and NL are so different, there is no "ceteris paribus".

Re: On Rake
ceteris parabus - new term for ME.
Now that you've defined it, I completly understand your whole point. Most places have a MAXIMUM rake that they can take per pot, let's say $5. So, the answer to the question is: it depends upon the size of the average pot in relation to this max rake. If you play both games equally well, then I believe the difference lies in how well your opponents play. In no limit, especially at the higher limits, I tend to see a lower percentage of flops than limit, preflop raises tend to take the down the pot without a fight more often. In limit, I seem to find more players willing to make loose calls than in NL, so MY opinion would be,ceteris parabus; limit generally would generate more rake. So; In my humble opinion, I'd have to say limit generates more rake. Of course, I HAVE been wrong before, there was that time in 1959..... rather not go into that. One more thing- I live in Biloxi, the NL games here have all gone to a TIME rake. The reason THEY give? They weren't making enough rake; too many uncontested flops. Most B&M casinos have a policy known as "no flop,no drop". For those who DON'T know what that means; if someone raises before the flop & everyone folds, the casino takes NO rake on that hand, no matter WHAT the size of the pot. GOOD question though- hope I've provided some stimulus for you. |
