Is it possible to beat the rake in Foxwoods\' 2-4 HE or O8?
Apologies for a question that's most likely been answered before, but i don't really trust the forum's search engine to do a search like (Foxwoods and rake).
So from what i can tell, FW's lowest-limit Hold Em game (2-4) is lower than most places (usually 3-6, often with a kill). And their max rake ($4) is at the maximum of the range for most low limit games (I've heard of $3 max in some cases). So it seems valid to ask: is it even possible for a good player to beat this game for the proverbial 2BB/hr, or does the rake clobber you to the point where you're doing well to break even? I'm playing such a low limit to build my confidence, and my plan is to move up once i've established that i can beat it consistently. (Is +300 BB or $1200 a good milestone?) However, if the rake makes it harder than normal to beat, then perhaps i should move my standards down. I'm thinking of keeping a notebook of how many pots i win and how much rake comes out of them, then figuring my results based on the lower % rake structure that would apply to 4-8 Hold Em, the next level up. I'm also interested in the same question for 2-4 Omaha 8/b. For reference, Foxwoods' full rake structure is as follows: <ul type="square">[*]$1 at the flop[*]$1 at $10[*]$1 at $20[*]$1 at $40[/list] AFAICT, the 4-8 structure looks to be exactly the same in dollar terms, which means it would cap out at 0.5 BB instead of 1.0 BB. |
