just played a few sessions recently at 50c/1 on FTP, and in my most recent session i noticed this

By sh58

so i payed $32.5 in rake in 300 hands. how does this affect ones profits at these stakes.

i feel my edge is quite big, but is getting gradually eroded by the rake.

this session my opponents limped a lot from the SB, so less pots were won PF, will this have a big impact on the amount of rake paid, as you don't pay rake PF.

it's not beatable....you have to play at least 5/10 hu to make up for the large price of rake

We're talking NL, not limit. $100 is certainly beatable, but you should really be trying to get to $1/$2 ASAP.

i just play it occasionally. i play NL200 6max on party as my main game, but only have 2.6k on FTP

as long as i can make a decent profit playing it i'm happy.

i'd be happy with anything around 5ptbb/100

5 PTBB/100 is pretty easily done at NL100... I think your bankroll is plenty to start getting into the game especially if you game select and aren't playing for your food.

Pulling up one of my 100NL HU sessions, I paid 13.10 in rake over 343 hands... which is reasonable considering the game is beatable for way bigger amounts than 6M.

Either you were limping into a lot of pots or your opponents were.

hmmmm,

I am also playing NL100 and getting pretty pissed off with the rake.
I have a 5k roll but am not particularly good at HU (I am 3.5 ptbb over 12k hands) and am still learning.

How much better are opponents at NL200??
Should I take a few shots?

kosher what can of sample size is that? Ordinarily i'd say wait til u get better but there's no harm in taking shots against bad players seeing as u have the roll.
