Poker Plex, this rake is incredible

[gila]

Well, look at it this way rookie. If you are playing small stakes holdem, lets say you have the bankroll to play $2/4, you can either go to american tables and play 2/4, or you can go to British tables and play 1/2 which, I believe is close to 3.60/1.80.

Now, stay with me, if you are an average winner of about 1 bb/100 hands in the american game, and if the brit. game has the exact same quality of players, you are probably now a loser, or very close to it.

So, this rake that you are claiming makes no difference, has turned a small stakes game from beatable to unbeatable.

And what does FYP mean anyway.

The rake is twice as much as every other site for equivalent limits when using pounds. Is this really that hard to understand?

Oh man I'm having such a hard time holding my tongue.

Oh, yea, I know you like to compare $1/2 to G1/2, though I do not know why. But, just so you realize, lets say you have the bankroll to play 2/4 but you are just going to play 1/2. You can't decide if you should play $ or G, but yet, barring a vast difference in players, it should be an easy choice since one is beatable and one is not, even though they are both 1/2 at they both max rake at 3 units.

But sure, it makes more sense if you are going to play 10/20GBP, go ahead and play 20/40USD.

LOL...you need to think about that statement pokerrookie. If you say it's better to play USD at the 10/20,20/40 level why wouldn't the same go for the 5/10,10/20 level??

One major advantage to playing large 10/20 or higher is that many pots get so large that the rake hits the cap and all the extra action beyond say 60 is rake free. In a pound game, yes any action beyond 60 pounds is free, but you end up paying rake on the equivelent of 120 dollars.

For example playing in a 10/20 dollar game a 200 dollar pot gets raked 3 dollars a 5/10 pound game pot that reaches 100 pounds=200 dollars get raked 3 pounds=6 dollars. So if you play in a large pound game you will get hammered on the rake compared to a similiar dollar sized game.

I see, so I was right. 10/20 dollar vs 10/20 pound = same amount of rake from each. Very well.

Yes, you were right. You can think about it as the same amount of rake from each.

If you play $10/20, the pot is raked $3 ( 1/6 of a BB ).
If you play 10/20 pounds, the pot is raked $6 ( 1/6 of a BB ).

FYP (always wanted to, but never got to do that), but I understand the point you are making. Thanks for the clarification.

Aer you seriously this big of an idiot? Does it come naturally? Or did you have to work at it?
