Did Party raise the rake again?

J.R.,

True, but then would we not expect continuous changes over time instead of a discreet jump of 25%?

I'm positive there must have been a change because for each day in the period from Jan 2005 to April 10th 2005 there is very little variation: 2.03 +/- 0.05.

I'm at 2.47% over this time frame, average pot 62.79, avergae rake 1.55 and I play a fair bit

[Mr. Graff]

It was indeed a joke but since noone has bothered to check their own database stats (Summary, % of Pot) I concluded that 0.5 BB/100 means nothing to people. Or perhaps it is just a matter of "if you can't do [censored] about it, then just accept it".

Can some of you 10/20 players check what effect this has on the rake that you pay (before and after 10th of April) - same 25% increase for you?

No I noticed it as well. There was a discrete drop from around 2.50 to around 2.00, from my datamined stats. So this is not a few hands and a few tables. It stayed at 2.00 for a few months (I too thought this was very good news) and recently returned to 2.47 on my figs (near as dammit to 2.50). Their policy does not appear to have changed, although it is possible the programming might have affected it but they have so much munny rolling in they did not notice.

I can confirm same observation. Curious.

Mr G,

Do you have pokertracker? If so, can you do something for me to clear this thing up...

Filter for $5/10 6-max hands between Jan-Mar 2005 and look at the Summary tab. At the bottom you get the average win rate: that's the rake. What is it?

And what is it when you filter for post April 10th or 12th hands (whenever you think the change happened)? Even a few thousand hands in your DB should give an accurate picture here I think.

I can't do this myself since I switched to $10/20 on April 11th so I have almost no sample since then: just 54 hands of $5/10!

Guy.

does the fact that the first thing I thought was "woo hoo more rakeback!" make me retarded?
