Re: Regarding the rake at 6-max...
I have to disagree w/Ed Millers stance on the rake structure at the typical 6max online games. From my playing experience and pt #s, I estimate that you pay about 1sb/100 hands more in rake during a 6max game compared to a full ring of the same calibur. These numbers are taken from 3/6 full games but I feel the same generalization can be made for 5/10 b/c the rake structure is similar as compared to the size of the BB. Once you get beyond that, I cannot make assumptions as I have no data to support that.
As a side, I do not feel that it is possible to make more BB/hr playing 6 max as compared to full ring and I feel it is a less profitable overall game. The fact that you can play more hands/table is compensated by the fact that you can play more tables at full ring. An ideal setup w/2 monitors can yeild the same # of hands/hour b/c a full ringer can prolly play 8 tables at a time whereas a SHer will only play 6.
