OMG. 50% RAKE. Seriously, that will EAT your bankroll alive! What is top prize...$5? Wow. I think I'd rather place my $1.50 on red and give the wheel a spin. Have you read the SNG forum? There are some of the best SNG players in the world over there, and I doubt they could profit on a 50% rake scheme. Why not ask them? (Many are also brilliant or near-brilliant mathemeticians.)

I really think you are underestimating the effect of rake on results. As a bankroll builder, I think this can only hurt you, but I'm DEFINITELY NOT a mathemetician, brilliant or otherwise.
