I’ve decided to post this since its some useful information on how different sites collect rake. I’ve taken the stats from my PT rake collected / hands played and *100. All samples have over 1k hands. (I’m about 25/15, as the amount of rake paid varies with how tight/loose you play)

Party 3/6 6max

$13.73/100 hands
-2.29BB/100
27% rakeback adds 0.62BB/100 to your winrate

Poker Room (Poker Network) 3/6 5max

$22.45/100 Hands
-3.74BB/100
27% rakeback adds 1.01BB/100 to your winrate

Meaning that if you’re a 1.5BB/100 winner at Party 3/6, you’ll be breaking even at PokerRoom (maybe marginally winning since the players seem worse at PR).

Poker Room 2/4 5max

$13.46/100 hands
-3.36BB/100
27% rakeback adds 0.91BB/100 to your winrate

Prima 2/4 6max

$8.38/100 hands
-2.09BB/100
35% rakeback adds 0.73BB/100 to your winrate

Absolute 2/4 6max

$12.00/100 hands
-3.00BB/100
25% rakeback adds 0.75BB/100 to your winrate

I don’t have a big enough sample size for Cryptologic Network. If anyone has the data please post it.
