Getting past the rake stakes.
ok so i am a winning 50plo player and i just wanna know from you guys that play 2/4plo and up, how does one break this barrier of stakes that just have the rake eat at your profits? i look at my total winnings, and then i look at my total amount raked. its so ridiculous how much poorer i am because the rake is so sick. when ooing and aweing at the profits people post per month at 10/20ish stakes, i just realized my profits are somewhat proportional if i just add my rake in. do winning players at higher stakes make their bankrolls starting from 50plo, or make significant cashins to increase the wad?
im having a very frustrating time trying to accumulate large profits at this level. i can win easy, but i feel like i have to play 200k hands before i can move up one limit with any 50+ buyin roll. if i can afford to cash in a large amount in order to raise my limits, is it worth it?

Re: Getting past the rake stakes.
have you ever considered rake back... its quite helpful to counterbalance it at those stakes.. also try sites with decent deposit bonuses... but yes if your a winning player, why not try a small shot at 1/2 2/4

Re: Getting past the rake stakes.
Unless you have absolutely no choice in the matter, waiting until you have 50 buy-ins is (IMO) excessive below 1/2 or so. While I don't really feel comfortable playing 1/2 without 40+ buy-ins, I'm fine with 25-30 at .5/1.00.

Re: Getting past the rake stakes.
You should be able to beat 50plo for more than the best players beat 2kplo for, even with the rake, before you move up. Otherwise you still have a lot of leaks.

Re: Getting past the rake stakes.
I moved up from PLO 50 pretty quickly, but I probably ran better than my expectation at that level. It really was easy to win at that level and if you cannot beat the rake there you have some big leaks, like roundtower said.
