I did the math for you. Pokerstars Rakeback

[goofyballer]

Barrin, this is wrong, you used rake per hand when it should be MGR per hand (there IS a difference)

[kidpokeher]

I'd like to be able to calculate the rakeback equivalent for someone (like me) who just wants cash. No tourney tickets or anything like that. This seems to work out to $.015 per FPP.

I'll be happy to compute for different levels if someone shows me how it's done (and we can agree this is correct.)

EliteSupernova Baller status rakeback would be what?

youre using actual rake while other sites split the rake between all players in the pot, so for most players here your calculations look better than they are when compared to other sites rb

oh ok then, I give up

I know this post is kinda old, but has anybody figured out how to express pokerstars RB more accurately than how Barrin has already?

At 6max, bronzestar is 2FPP for $2 of rake divided among 6 people, at $0.0159 per FPP. That's 9.54% rakeback.
So it goes:
Bronze - 9.54%
Silver - 14.31%
Gold - 19.08%
Plat - 23.85%
Nova - 33.39%
Nova El. - 47.7%

Keep in mind though that those numbers can vary depending on a number of factors - items other than the Sunday Million buyin have different $/FPP rates (cash tops out at $0.015/FPP, electronics can vary significantly). Plus, those calculations only hold if you are playing high enough stakes that every hand that sees a flop has at least $40 in pot (ie, at least $10/$20) and I imagine very few bronze or silverstar players play at those levels. Furthermore, at 200NL and lower, the first FPP is awarded at $0.40 rake, so a table with an average pot of ~$12-15 might actually have a slightly higher effective rakeback.

Therefore, unless you actually are playing 10/20NL or higher and are spending your FPPs on buyins to the Sunday Mil, the numbers above won't be *exactly* the rakeback you get, but they should still be within 1-2% of the actual value.

1 - Why was this bumped?

2 - It appears you just calculated the effective rakeback for any any hand that is EXACTLY raked $2.
Somewhat interesting for anyone who cares.
But to other people it is going to look like that is the rakeback you get for ALL hands played at that level which is not correct.
And doing this definitely doesn't make this thread worth bumping.
