Re: Testing the rake at .25 -.50 limit on FTP
oh yeah, I think the rake back is 27%.
But OP, what other sites have you played? What's your winrate? |

Re: Testing the rake at .25 -.50 limit on FTP
[ QUOTE ]
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? [/ QUOTE ] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost |

The last thing to worry about at the micros is the rake. [/ QUOTE ] I think the rake is the *worst* in the micros, because you almost never get pots that cap it. Also, FTPs NL micro rake is 10% (!), not 5%. Same with micro tourneys...the 'fee' is an outrageous percentage of the entry, at least by internet standards (e.g. $1 + $.25). |

I mean, unless you're Dave's car-decal-peeling long-lost twin, or his gimmick account, I can't see any purpose to this "experiment" (and even then it'd just be to make sure your Nit Club points keep you in contention for the season-end trophy). |

You can't fix the rake at Stars or FTP only mitigate it so listening to people whinge about it is just boring. Or they are in such deep denial about their ability that they'd be winning players if it wasn't for that damn rake. |
