How Do I pay more rake??
 

I just signed up at betonbet to get [censored], the interesting thing is the way they do it. It is a sliding scale, based on a high watermark..... ie. If I reach a certain amount of rake paid I will get [censored] at that highest percentage level for the next 12 months.....

$1000-4000 =30%
$4,000-7000 = 35%
$7,000 + = 40%

What is my best chance of reaching 7k+ in one months time assuming I am willing to play 4 tables? Limit or Nl, full or short, limit up to 5-10 s/h, 10-20 full, NL 2/4 or 3/6 s/h, 5/10 full

i decided it wasn't worth it and took the flat 30%. very useful i know.

You have to play short handed, because you don't get a share of the table rake paid, you get a share of your rake paid.

Ie, if the pot is heads up between sb and bb and ends up getting raked $2 then sb and bb each get $1 each in contributed rake. The other eight players get nothing.

If you think about it this is actually the most fair way of doing it, but it's not liked around here as it basically hurt TAGs rakeback. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If you can play a good shorthanded LAGgy NL game that's your best bet.

I thought about that, but $1,000 is a breeze, so I figured I have nothing to lose going for the 40%..... now I just need the best way to aproach it without becoming Odoyle [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm not sure how different their rake structure is from party and friends, but it's easy to clear $10k+ GMR at 5/10 6max on party (assuming 4 tables, 30-40 hrs a week).

What happens if a player contributes money to the pot but doesn't go to showdown? Is the rake calculation pro-rated per person per street?
