Re: Party 3/6 full is a rock garden
this is generally correct.
you are probably losing 1-2BB//hr by foregoing the rake-back.
If you can make 1BB/hr on the 'regular' tables WITH rake-back then you need to be able to make AT LEAST 2-3BB/hr on the BBJ tables to make up for the loss of rake-back.
Of course, the 'extra' rake there isn't really 'extra'. If the jackpot is big enough then the extra $0.50 per hand is actually +EV based on your slim chances of actually hitting the damn thing.
I do play the BBJ tables though. But that's partly due to it just being kinda big when I also happen to have a bonus to clear (or I need extra raked-hands for more chips for the upcoming PPM semi-finals).
So, in my case, I'm going to occasionally play some non-rakeback hands at Party anyway so the BBJ isn't SO bad.
The players there CAN be quite bad even all the way up to 15/30.
But it is certainly not going to directly make up for the loss of rake-back on the skins because rake-back should be worth around a full BB/hr much of the time.
