Absolute 2/4-3/6 game BBJ jackpot rake/ beatable?

[Beastmaster]

Was looking over my stats for the last couple of months and I'm in the red at 2/4 and 3/6. Not by much and I just hit a 100bb downswing which probably doesn't help. Wondering if the 2/4 and 3/6 games are beatable at BBJ tables? The games are tough enough but with the extra rake is it pretty unbeatable?

Also- have been experimenting more with defending my BB and becoming more of a showdown monkey which could have something to do with my red numbers in PT.

The rake there is already ridiculously high without the BBJ. I'm sure the games are beatable, but I don't think I'd play there.

I know it has been posted before, not sure how recent?
Could someone provide info on Absolute's rake compared to other sites at the 2/4-5/10 level. How big of an impact on WR does it have compared to other sites?

I think most know the rake is a little higher, not sure how much higher than other sites? Most play for bonus/rb/pts for cash etc and hope to breakeven or win a little if they're multitabling.

That was me for a long time...they just don't have as much bonus to justify it any more...plus they take fees off of rb now...plus they are generally shady and if I can play at a reputable site and it doesn't hurt the bottom line that much I'm gonna do it. Ok, sorry, you probably know all that, end of rant [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

FWIW here's the rake comparison:

Stars
$2/$4 to $100/$200
players $20 Pot $40 Pot $70 Pot
2-3 $0.50 $0.50 -
4-5 $1.00 $1.00 -
6-10 $1.00 $1.00 $1.00


AP
$2.00/$4.00 2 $0.25 for each $5.00 in pot, maximum $1.00
$2.00/$4.00 3 to 4 $0.25 for each $5.00 in pot, maximum $2.00
$2.00/$4.00 5 or more $0.25 for each $5.00 in pot, maximum $3.00
$3.00/$6.00 2 $0.50 for each $10.00 in pot, maximum $1.00
$3.00/$6.00 3 to 4 $0.50 for each $10.00 in pot, maximum $2.00
$3.00/$6.00 5 or more $0.50 for each $10.00 in pot, maximum $3.00
$5.00/$10.00 2 $1.00 for each $20.00 in pot, maximum $1.00
$5.00/$10.00 3 to 4 $1.00 for each $20.00 in pot, maximum $2.00
$5.00/$10.00 5 or more $1.00 for each $20.00 in pot, maximum $3.00


Obviously the main differences are that just about every hand at 2/4,3/6 is raked and you get hit for the extra dollar on big pots 5 handed.

The way to beat the BBJ game is to hit the jackpot, like Miles. Easy-peasy...

[Beastmaster]

yeah, that would be nice...

westley/ilp did some calculations.

3-6 and below, forget about it

5-10, it still hurts, but that's where I start playing them, once the BBJ is at about 150 or so

[Beastmaster]

Hip-thanks, yeah I pretty much assumed it was unbeatable at those levels (at least for a decent WR anyways)

Wouldn't be bad if the other tables weren't filled with 2+2ers LOL
