View Full Version : the rake....and how good am I?


03-06-2002, 05:00 AM
There are 2 home games I routinely frequent that I am going to ask about in

particular. Where I am located, there are no poker rooms/casinos. The only

poker games that are floating around are private ones.

While I no longer question my ability to beat these games, I just wonder

really how good this is.

While I go to many games, I have some questions about my results in these 2

examples in particular.


One game is played Hold'em, and alternating rounds of Omaha eight or better.

The betting structure is $5-$10-$15-$15. With $3 and $5 blinds.


Rake is $1 dollar on $20 to a max of $5 on a $100 pot.


My results over the last few months.......219.5 hrs played....total...

+1764


The second game is played Hold'em hi and hi-lo and also Omaha hi and 8 or

better.


The betting structure is $10-$20. With $5 and $10 blinds.


Rake is $1 on $20 to a max of $5 on a $100 pot.


My results over the last few months......216.5 hrs

played...total...+2548


I have always been an overall winner in these games. I just have wondered

exactly what the "experts" of 2+2 think.

Something else of note......I had never played much if any Hold'em or Omaha

until about 3 years ago as I always considered myself more proficient at stud.


Someone please give me some insight as to how this stacks up against normal

rakes and time charges. And pull no punches please. Also, how would my play

measure up against most average to decent players? I know this really isn't a

very large sample in the scheme of things, its just the most recent data I

could find. I also attribute the better win rate in the $10-$20 game to what is

probably a slightly softer lineup. I also seem to remember winning a little more at both of these games before but perhaps I'm running a little bad.lol


Thanks for the help and comments..........
