At pokerstars.pt at the 100euro hyper level the rake is 4.5euro so it's 95.5+4.5. This rake percentage seems way to high. Do you guys think it's beatable? Btw at pokerstars.com the rake at the micro hypers is actually smaller(around 4%)

The individual country sites have specific tax rates and the rate is passed to the customer I believe, hence the higher rake.

Most countries see any sort of "vice," or anything that can be considered "bad" as an opportunity to tax the hell out of it. Poker (gambling), alcohol, tobacco usually have their own tax rates that are much higher than more typical industries.

Given that strong crushers can get 5-7% ROIs on Stars hypers, yeah seems beatable. Just hard to beat and obviously lower edge (and beating a reg is likely impossible if they're half-way decent). So just because it's beatable, doesn't mean you'll be beating it

Obviously depends on rakeback % too.
