So let me get this striaght. The change is an extra dollar out of every pot $60 or more. I play 3/6 for now so I wanted to get a feel for how much this change would have affected my month.
I took all my hands for August, sorted them in the Game tab of Pokertracker by net and then counted the number of hands that that had pots $60 and over. I ended up with near 300 out of 22,800 hands, which translates to a .22bb/100 loss for 3/6. Not as bad as the higher two limits, but still very significant. Edit: I didn't check to see how many of those hands were 5-handed or less. |

You have to check for that. It was a pain in the ass counting, but for my 3/6 hands it was (for the big pots) about 77% for 6-man hands.

(haven't played ring-games today so I don't know).
Didn't I read in this thread that they are also taking an extra $0.50 at $50. Did you factor this in witeknite? This too is quite significant I would think (especially at 3/6 and maybe at 5/10 where I suspect you can get more pots falling just short of the $60 mark) |

Yes I took this into acount. For my 3/6 play, it acounted for .03Bb/100.

So purely based on rake, is it cheaper to play at Stars now? (Disregarding the quality of the players) And how much?

If you are talking in terms of total rake being paid then it would definitely be stars.
If the players are tighter and more passive at Stars then the average pot-size will be lower. you will be making it past the $60 mark for the max-rake less often. Of course, this is partly counter-balanced by the possibility of earning rake-back at Party. |

You have to go off of pot size. If 4 people contribute 15 each, then you net 45. If 2 people contribute 30 each, you net 30. That .03BB/100 is only on the pots I won that were between $50 and $60.

Supply and demand. The demand will be virtually the same on Party with the rake-increase. [/ QUOTE ] Could they keep increasing the rake until only fish are left (except maybe at very high stakes) or do they need winning players like B&M does? chez |

I did take an extended shot at 5/10 back in spring of about 18k hands. I don't know how good that data is since I played poorly, and ran terribly during that time. For those 5/10 hands I would have lost 0.28BB/100 to the increased rake. Not as bad as my exprapolation, but still worse than 3/6 in terms terms of dollars and BB/100. If my numbers are right, a 4 tabling 5/10 short players just took an $8/hour pay cut.
