Re: When is the rake insurmountable?
A simple answer is when your share of the rake equals your advantage. For example, if you average +2 BB per 100 hands at a table of 10 players, a rake of 0.2 BB per hand will make you a break-even player. It could be a little more or less depending on your style, if you win a few big pots the rake bites less than if you steal a lot of blinds. The structure of the rake matters also, is it a fixed amount or a percentage up to a cap?
