I was curious as to what type of limit an average player who is looking for a rakeback generally plays at? Do most of you play 0.50/1 tables or are you guys playing at like 2/4 or 5/10+?

Good games for serious rakeback players are 6 max games $5-10 and higher.

Playing 2/4 at 20% rakeback i recieve about
$1.20 per table hour. However, rakeback should be considered more of a bonus for your play then a reason for playing at a certain level. Play the game that is the most profitable for you and just take all the rakeback as a bonus. |

Getting x% on site A, you might be paying more rake than if you got x-n% on site B. Your "bonus" pay on site A will be higher, sure, but your overall gain will be higher on site B and your "Poker Tracker winrate" will be higher on site B. Calculate your rake/hand, multiply by (1-rb%), see where you're best off. |

Even more intresting is the sum of winrate + rakeback. One site might have high winrate but low rakeback but you might still earn more there than some other site witch the rake back is huge but the winrate is low. You should of cource play where the sum of them is the highest.

Anything after 5/10 is really diminishing returns since the rake is capped almost every pot. Also, does anyone find when people say that paying less rake at site x is better than having a rakeback deal at site y isn't true? At what point does it reach where this isn't true? 2/4 or 3/6 it doesn't have an effect anymore? 5% of $100 or 10% of $100 are the same when rake is capped at $3. |

What exactly is a "serious rakeback player"? Anyways, I make about $0.09-0.10 a hand in rakeback at 10/20 6-max limit.

Hi,
I'm a pretty big affiliate. Obviously the higher the limits the more rake on average per hand played. But at some point the importance of rakeback starts to diminish. Higher limit players lets say $10/20 -> $200/400 NL will usually focus on a fewer tables. This enables players on lower limits ie. $2/4 NL to $5/10 NL to rake more. Whats more important is how many tables and hours someone puts in, as well as whether they play 10 seat or 6 seat games. 6 seat games have between 50-80% more rake per hour. Playing 8 tables of $2/4 NL will rake more than 2 tables at $5/10. |
