Rake on Party 2/4 6-max?

gasoltub · #1 02-19-2006, 05:17 AM

Has anyone here played enough of the new party 2/4 6-max to say how many BB/100 the rake is?

I'm playing 1/2 6-max at the moment and have been doing ok for 25K hands (~2.75BB/100) and I happened to check the rake in PT. I knew that it would be fairly high but I was stunned to see that I have been paying 3.5BB/100! So my thought is that even if my winrate takes a hit by moving up to 2/4 6-max perhaps that would be offset by a lower rake.

thanks

Rake is brutal at the lower limits, thats why I always moved up quickly.

Yeah, I gave 3/6 6-max a shot last month and got my ass handed to me on a plate so I'm down to 1/2 to rebuild my roll and to learn shorthanded play better.

Over 25k hands the rake is 3.07BB/100.

How is the game compared to 1/2?

I like it so far. Running badly but have not encountered anything tough so far. I don't think it's the 70/5/1-fest that 1/2 is, but it's fine.

3.42 BB/100 but only 1k hands. I'm sure it will wind up being 3.08 like posted above.

The game is alright. Not nearly as good as 1/2, but you know.

I think this game has 3/6 2+2ers who are not as strong, and 1/2 guys moving up but not ready with BR for 3/6. So the game is good enough to play, but not breathtaking.

How do you check the BB/100 on the rake in PT?

Megenoita · #9 02-19-2006, 11:02 AM

There may be an easier way, but what I do is go to the general tab and take (total rake paid/total hands)*100/BB. At 1/2, "BB" is 2.

That's not an accurate count. What you need to do is go to the game notes section, show all hands, divide the total rake paid by the average players per hand (APH --&gt

, and then get the BB/100 from there. Your rake paid is almost always lower than the average, and 1000 hands isn't nearly enough to have an accurate account. If you run hot or cold you're going to pay a completely distorted amount.
