Re: Finding out how much rakeback you are going to get.
Is taking the total rake and dividing by the average number of players really an accurate way to determine the rake you've paid? Take the following extreme example.
You play two hands.
Hand 1: 2 players, $3 are raked from the pot. Therefore you've "paid" $1.50.
Hand 2: 10 players, $0.25 is raked. Therefore you've "paid" $.025.
Your rake paid = $1.525
However, the average number of players would be (10+2)/2=6, the total rake paid is $3.25, and total take paid divided by average players is $3.25/6=$0.54.
Is this division really the method poker rooms use to attribute rake to players? It doesn't seem like the right way to figure out how much you've paid. I believe it would be close, but not exact.
Is this not worth worrying about? Am I understanding something completely wrong? Thanks.
