rake at ipokr vs. full tilt: Poker Forums at DeucesCracked.com

Any thoughts? It has me wondering about my RB deal and play at iPoker

i wonder how much winrates suffer from it. I remember seeing figures of like 2ptbb but thats speculation. I also remember playing on crypto which had a cap of 3 pounds, so essentially 6$, which is LOL. My true winrate woulda been 8ptbb if rake was reasonable. sigh

Yea I played a ton on those € and £ tables over the last couple months too and the rake was killer. Great RB checks but not really a reason to play them. Getting a $4.50 rake at £50NL ($74NL) will kill your winrate.

It all comes down to how much do you pay in rake after rakeback, I did calculation on this for fullring over 100k sample on both Ipoker and Fulltilt about a year ago. I do not have the database now, and neither the exact calculations. But yes, you pay more rake on Ipoker, however after rakeback (60%) you end up paying less net rake than you will on Fulltilt. Plus the games WAS alot softer, havn't played there for about a year now tho

All the good RB deals are falling apart, I only have 33% now and 50% after $5K rake. Do you think that may make a difference?
