Compare 1-2 NL rake structures.
The following structures exist in competing cardrooms in a close proximity. Which would you rather?
EDIT: Comments on why...? |

Re: Compare 1-2 NL rake structures.
I really don't see why anyone would choose the rake structure. Assuming you win one than one pot per half hour in an effort to take down a lot of small pots, the rake would kill you. Maybe if you are supertight, the rake is better, but every pot you play gets taxed big time, especially the smaller ones.

Re: Compare 1-2 NL rake structures.
Hi xTKOx:
It might be too late to do this, but perhaps you should clarify the $4 session fee is every half-hour? I've played at B & Ms where it's every 20 minutes (pretty sure Lucky Chances did that when I played there last year.) Assuming 20 hands/hour raked to the $5 max, the table eats $100 in rake an hour. Nine players at a table = $11 an hour, slightly less than the $12 for a 20 minute drop. Plus if you're a TAG you'll be picking your battles better and contesting fewer pots. |

Re: Compare 1-2 NL rake structures.
Is this $4 an half hour? |

Re: Compare 1-2 NL rake structures.
$4 per half hour, yes. EDIT: these are 10-max tables.

Re: Compare 1-2 NL rake structures.
Well then for the whole table it's $80 in fees or 5 times the number of hands per hour in rake.
If you get more than 16 hands an hour with pots over $50 (which is reasonable), you'll be happier with the fees. If you just want to wait for aces or kings (or play with people who wait for aces or kings), play the raked game. IMO, you are better off paying time. There will be more action, other things being equal. |
