Hi!

I used to play 10/20 sh at party skins with rakeback.. obviously I don't anyomore, so I switched to crypto with 30% RB. The thing is that they rake the short handed pots max 3$ instead of partypoker max 2$, so I'm wondering what is cheapest:

1. Play at partypoker with 2$ rake
2. Play at crypto with 3$ rake and 30% rakeback

Also if anyone is still playing 10/20sh at the former skins I would appreciate to hear how the players are there now.

they have change the rakecap at party to 3$ aswell

last time i wached the skins the games were togh, lots of tags and not that many fishes

waow thats a MEAN thing to do; both take away rakeback AND increase the rake? then where do people take their short handed 10/20 play?

I know it's splitting hairs, and I may be wrong, but I thought the Party rake was maxed at $3 for 6 handed, and $2 for fewer players actually in the hand? (Or did it change again?)

The 5/10 skins are a sausage fest. Usually 2-4 multitabling TAGS at every single table.

Agood 10/20 game on Crypto is rare 5/10 can have some good games at times but are very hit and miss. Crypto also starts it rake at $5. The rake at 5/10 ends up being 40 cents a hand more. Which with rakeback makes it a push. Aslo 5 hand Crypot still rakes $3

they are tough.. always heard they were so soft but this is not true.. conclusion after some weeks there: beatable but not even near what party skins was
