Re: How much does the increased rake at party effect us?

But seriously, I don't think this will have a huge impact on losing streaks. Losing streaks are caused primarily by variance, not by winrate.

Well, yeah variance will be the same, but losing streaks are very dependant on your win rate.
.3 might not have a HUGE effect on a really good players downswings, but on a lot of players it will have a noticable effect. If you're crushing the game for 3 BB/100, then the bad runs at 2.7BB/100 won't be much different, but if you're only a 1- 1.5 BB/100 player, then that extra .3 BB/100 payed to rake will be felt in longer downstreaks, and breakeven streaks. also, once the longer term effects kick in, like the losing players losing even faster, and going broke quicker, then win rates for even the best players will drop.
of course this won't be a drastic thing that hits right away, but over the next several months, a lot of the better players' profits will be going to Party and not to us.
