2005 PokerStars MTTs: An Overview
 

Just in case anyone is curious, I've put together some stats on PokerStars tournaments in 2005.

Total Rake: $12,278,750


Damn.

Re: 2005 PokerStars MTTs: An Overview
 

That was the number that I thought was surprising out of all of it. I would figure it would be much higher.

Well, that and the avg. rake/player/tournament.

I mean, I know I have paid several hundered in tournament rake all by my self and dont play that much really.

I guess this just shows the relative number of micro tournaments to the $2+ fee tournaments(20+2+).


This is all assuming that the fee is what is considered the rake here.

Re: 2005 PokerStars MTTs: An Overview
 

i can almost guarantee 1/3 of that rake was mine

Re: 2005 PokerStars MTTs: An Overview
 

I think it would be interesting to see how much stars has pulled in from their micors since adding a 10c,20c, and 30c rake to them.

Very interesting btw

Actually lower than expected, considering that there were 8,976,951 entries, the avg rake per entry was less than $2.

One factor is that micro buy-ins (3$ and lower) weren't raked until around October.
Does the data include freerolls?

Anyone know how much stars makes from cash games?

Remember, that's the avg rake/player/tournament. Not the avg rake/player.

No.

Re: 2005 PokerStars MTTs: An Overview
 

Is there a way of seeing the avg. rake/player/tourn before the 180 20+2's started going off, as opposed to after?

I also assume that these are shown in your data mining, esp. since recently once they are a go they come up in the main tournament lobby.
