Testing the rake at .25 -.50 limit on FTP
I am putting aside $200 dollars to test out the lowest limit to see if i can beat a 5% rake with poor players and if so how much. I plan on 4-6 tableing 9 handed games and play until I reach 50,000 hands. I know it sounds fullish but is is a cheaper way to find out. I plan on it taking me about two months. Has anybody ever tried this? Any sugggestions?

you're right; that does sound fullish.

Why? If you can't beat the rake you aren't a winning player, so it's easy to see. Is your WR > 0? The last thing to worry about at the micros is the rake. Maybe if you are playing live and have a choice among card rooms it will come into play, but other than that, why bother?
What you are doing goes by a different name, it's called Playing Poker. |

bottom line the rake is around 4bb/100 +/- .75bb if you play $1 6 max at 28% VPIP.
FR I think should be slightly lower but its been so long I have never done a direct analysis. |

Re: Testing the rake at .25 -.50 limit on FTP
1) totally retarded idea, in terms of $/hr
2) I admit, my curiosity about these things is eating at my soul, seriously (you'd have to know me to know that I'm telling the truth here)... so I'd like to know the results of your experiment. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Good luck, have fun, and please don't stop at like 5,000 hands. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] --- Actually, on second thought, yeah, I've beaten like 3.5bb/100 rakes in the past for extended periods, so I'd say it's beatable. If it was 5% of pot uncapped, that'd be interesting... You'd probalby have to play pretty tight, both preflop and post-flop. |

Just get rakeback at full tilt and the rake won't be so harsh.
