New Pokerroom Rate Structure?

[Cleveland Guy]

So I'm playing some 1/2 5 max this morning.

They are taking rake out by the dimes, and I can't figure out the ratio.

Can anyone help?

Rake Structure

The rake is defined below for each game which we spread and is calculated as 5% of the matched bets in the pot. We do not charge rake if there isn't a flop ("no flop, no drop").


Structured games (limit)

* $0.25-$0.5 to $0.5-$1
$0.05 is raked for every $1 in the pot up to a maximum of $1.50.


* $1-$2
$0.25 is raked for every $5 in the pot up to a maximum of $1.50.


* $2-$4 to $50-$100

Number of players $20 pot $40 pot $60 pot Max rake
2-3 - - - $1
4-5 $1 $1 - $2
6-10 $1 $1 $1 $3



Pot-limit and no-limit

* $0.25-$0.5 to $0.5-$1.0
$0.05 is raked for every $1 in the pot up to the max rake (see below).

Number of players Max rake
2-3 $1
4-5 $2
6-10 $3


* $1-$2 to $2-$4
$0.25 is raked for every $5 in the pot up to the max rake (see below).

Number of players Max rake
2-3 $1
4-5 $2
6-10 $3


* $5-$10 and up
$1 is raked for every $20 in the pot up to the max rake (see below).

Number of players Max rake
2-3 $1
4-5 $2
6-10 $3

Rake Table

This is how it's always been.

But with the update this morning - I think it might have changed.

Can't find the new one? maybe it's now 5% based on each $2 for 1-2?

[Benholio]

The rake structure at low limits has changed so that either up to .40 is raked from the pot, or $1 or more. This basically eliminates the partial player points towards clearing bonuses.

I can confirm this in practice, too, as I played ~750 hands of 100NL earlier, and all my pots were raked .40 or less, or $1 or more.

Guess this devalues their bonuses, especially at lower levels.

That is pretty slimy IMO.
jumping from .40 to $1 rake
when you need .50 to start clearing the bonus.
definately hurts at $1NL

I was worried about this too, but the rake hits $1 a lot sooner than before. I'm talking from $1/$2 limit experience, but now the player point ratio is one point per 2.34 hands while it used to be one point per 3 hands.

The rake increase will account for a -0.4 BB/100 winrate change if I'm not mistaken.

The FAQ lists the new rake method now, however it's a little too complicated to reiterate here so just go check it out.

[M Tal]

for 1NL they are taking .40 from a $4 pot,
but dont take over .50 till $18, where they take $1.
Bonus was bad enough at low NL before this crap.

[XxGodJrxX]

That may be true, but it is so because they effectively doubled the rake once it gets to $10 to $1 instead of it being $.50. So you may be getting points faster, but you are paying a lot more in rake than you were a week ago.

[thewildone]

any room that rakes $2 pots at 1/2 level is a room i never never want to play at. That is just sad how greedy that room is omfg

[playersare]

definitely worse now - can be as high as 10% even at $20+ pots. b*tches.
