When you check the rake paid over a decent sample in your HM2 you'll actually see a huge jaw dropping figure and say to yourself, fuck thats what was taken away from my profits.
Not true. Roughly half of that was taken from your profits.
Saw this on a few samples across different players on different sites get the same trend.
The rake paid figure, thanks to weighted contribution method, is rake paid in all the hands you contributed that saw the flop regardless of whether you won or lost.
Technically in the hands you lost, the money you invested wasn't giving you anything back anyway even in a game without rake cause you lost that money anyway.
So the true money you lost in rake was only the money that was taken from you in pots you won.
Lets talk numbers.
In my sample of 70k hands at NL 20 on Unibet my total rake paid it says is 1023.92.
If I filter for hands I won, I paid a rake of 503.81. So that means of my total rake 503.81 went in won hands and remainder 520.11 went in lost pots but like I said that doesn't matter cause you weren't getting that money back anyway.
The RB I get which is at 30% is on 1023.92 which is 307.18.
So technically, because of the concept of rake, your bankroll was drained of 503.81 from your winnings and you were paid back 307.18 which means net RB was 60.97% more than twice of the actual RB you think you were getting.
Similarly with 40% RB you technically get 80% and yes if your RB is more than 50% you actually make more from RB than the rake you actually pay in pots won.
