What limits are serious rakeback players playing?

At 5/10 a standard rakeback deal at party/skins is good for about $7/table/hour. Anything after 5/10 is really diminishing returns since the rake is capped almost every pot.

You're thinking about this the wrong way. The nicer thing about the higher limits is that a lower % gets raked with each pot. Sure, it means your RB doens't grow as much with the limits.

I think every serious player has/should have a RB deal. For me, at 20/40 RB makes up about 10-20% of my profit each month. In october it was 40% [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I had a miserable month.

I understand that the lowest percent of the pot is the best. I was just stating that there isn't much difference in rakeback between 5/10 6max and 20/40 than maybe a dollar or so per hundred hands.

Define serious I suppose.

I play 7-10k hands per month with a 28% rakeback. Rakeback was huge for me when I was at 2/4, it was probably 25% of my profits. As I've moved up (5/10 and 10/20 now), it's not as big a deal, but I certainly wouldn't want to give it up. It's still a significant portion of my profits.

it helps make up for those 15K breakeven or +0.3BB/H streaks......really money for nothing (since you are going to play regardless....I would anyway)
