Say for example $1 = 50p You win a £200 pot at £5/10 the rake is £3 = $6 leaving you $394 You win a $400 pot at $10/20 the rake is $3, leaving you $397 Fair enough it doesnt make a lot of difference at lower limits [/ QUOTE ] 15BB/100 is a bit of a difference!!!

Re: rake drop
you have a higher rake average at the lbs game because it is looser and the pot average is higher.

Re: rake drop
WhiteShirt, are you still unconvinced? Kochanski just showed rather simply that two pots, which are equal in terms of both big bets and actual dollar value, are raked unequally.
Here's another way to think of it: the key is in the rake cap. If crypto raked 5% off of every pot, with no limit, it wouldn't matter if you played in dollars, pounds, yen, or lira. But there is a limit! And the max rake that is taken is different at the pound and dollar tables. Or, try this method. Assume for the moment that the conversion rate is exactly 2/1 to keep things simple. 2 dollars = 1 pound. Now, whenever you see "pound" in the question, just subsitute "2 dollars" instead. The question then becomes: Ignoring differences in level of play which game would be easier to beat the cryptologic $10-20 game with a max rake of $6 or the $10-20 with a max rake of $3? I hope you can now see the obvious answer.

15BB/100 is a bit of a difference!!! [/ QUOTE ] Well, it is actually spread between all of the players, and that is only on the hands where the rake is capped, so it probably works out to less than a BB/100, but it still is a significant effect. How many things do you think that you can do which change your long term earn by almost a BB/100, and what would you do to avoid earning that much less. You notice that the sites that support alternative currencies, don't offer games in yen where they rake 3 yen. We would all be playing 1000/2000yen and happily paying the 3 yen rake.

Re: rake drop

[/ QUOTE ] i wasn't asserting anything - obviously it's not making a 15bb/100 PER PERSON difference or we wouldn't even be having the discussion. my statement that an extra 15 bets is being raked per 100 hands is true, and we dont know how many players are in the pot in the example given so I couldn't be any more specific than I was. I assumed the point would be clear without clarifying that my measurement was for the entire table -- obviously I was wrong and need to explain myself more clearly. All you're doing is being a nit without saying anything about the point i was making - so nice post.
