Hi!

I played about 12k hands FL 0.5/1 FR on stars
- the rake was about 1.8BB/100 hands

Now I moved to Party, where I play FL 0.5/1 SH (8k hands) and
- the rake is about 3.4BB/100 hands

That makes huge difference in my winning rate...

EDIT:
On Stars at FR I played at 1.6BB/hand
I did not computed rake from MGR, but from rake... so correct one shoudl be
2.17BB/100 hand

On Party I have 0.72BB/hand

If I discount rake I played at
- stars with 3.4BB/100 hands
- party with 4.1BB/100 hands

How do you deal with this? Now I do not mind that much, because I am clearing $500 bonus that gives me 50% rakeback + I will get points to three $100 bonuses... but what after?

.. after that just get out of that site. Unless you're playing the jackpot tables where the rake is huge, you might want to switch to the regular tables.


No, only regular tables... I am not looking for jackpot...

I found the difference:
Stars:

Limit Number of players Rake per Pot Max Rake
$.50/$1.00 2-10 $0.05 for each $1.00 in Pot $0.50
$1.00/$2.00 2-10 $0.25 for each $5.00 in Pot $1.00

Party
Limit Cash Games
$.50/$1.00 2-10 $0.05 for each $1.00 in Pot $1.00
$1.00/$2.00 2-10 $0.25 for each $5.00 in Pot $1.00

Also rake for SNGs and tourneys up to $5 is 20% or more on Party... that sucks

Assuming that on FL 1/2 it will be fine... I think I have just switched to that limit...

Nice graph.


interesting


Hi TTT241,

very interesting graph. Did you create it?

In your first post you compare FR with SH. The rake on a SH table is higher as you are in more hands.
But it's true the rake at 0.5/1$ and 1/2$ is very high so try moving up as soon as possible. :)


ciRith,

that is not my graph/post, but answer for my question... ;) - thanks

I will try to play something in between. I do not want to go for 1/2SH yet, so I will try FR before... also I do not have 500BB for 1/2...

I did not cash in my whole BR from stars to Party...

Hmm it doesn't matter how much money you have on 1 site. I once played 5/10$ at Pokerstars with 600$. ;) (Well that's their deposit limit.)

But I don't want to talk you into playing into a higher limit. :)


I tried FR 1/2... unfortunately 2 of 3 tables were Jackpot ones...

Rake 3.5BB/100 hands... I was $20 up last session... jackpot costed me $10, basically I could be 50% better... no more jackpot tables...

With jackpot discounted the rake was 2.5BB/100 hands on 1/2 FR...

Let's see how it will be on SH... but paying $0.75rake for $7POT - WTF?

TTT

P.S.: Finally made it platinum ;)


1/2 SH (Party) was about 3.1BB/100 hands....

Still quite high

TTT

P.S.: ciRith - 60BB up .

60B at 1/2$ or against me on 2/4$ HU? ;)


I do not think I stand a chance agaist you... 35BB (in 500 hands on 1/2 SH) + $50 in clearing part of the bonus and I ran little luckbox... yeasterday

HU4rollz between cirith and TTT?


No way this year

TTT

P.S.: But as soon as I will play 10/20 I am going for it ;)
P.P.S.: 80BB down, back to 0.5/1 ;(

I might lose. ;) Is 2/4$ HU beatable at PP? I pay 4BB+/100 rake and I'm now over 200BB down after 2000 hands. ;)

Yoghi do you play 10/20$ as a regular or only if you find a good fish?

dnno if it's beatable, never tried it but it should be.

I play it as a regular, but I don't play other regulars, also playing 15/30 now sometimes when there's a huge fish


Nice.

On which limit did you start? 5/10? Any strategy guides?
