Default Re: Is eurosuck/pokerroom\'s rake schedule really this hideous?

That's definitely a good idea, although I'm wondering if it's even worth it with a bonus to clear.

Well, if you play full ring, the rake schedule isn't going to hurt you, especially if you win a lot less pots than the average player. Since bonus clearing is directly proportional to rake, it is easy to determine your rakeback percentage for a bonus. For a 7x bonus, if you win 10% of hands at a 10-handed table, you get 100% rakeback. Since most of us here win a lot less than 10% of hands, you actually get > 100% rakeback at 7x. I win about 6-7% of pots, and I think I figured that any bonus up to about 11 or 12x points is 100% rakeback. So, rake 10c or $10 out of the pot, as long as you are getting 100% or more of it back, it doesn't hurt.
