Rake Question

How is this different to paying 5% rake, if all the pots are above $200.

IF all the pots were above $200 it would be better than paying 5% rake.

But I can tell you that on the Internet, it's a pretty good game if the average pot size is as much as six big bets - that'd be only $60 in your case. Live games run a tad looser but there is still no way the average pot in a typical 5/10 game is even $100 let alone $200. That means you are paying more than twice the worst rake you'd face anywhere else.
