The result is you simply cannot compare old to new rake at the eyeball. It may be "5% to 1%" but due to the nature of the difference in rake calculations, the two simply are not comparable. [edit: actually that seems just an error in the chart; it's an equiv. of 1% in the 2011 rake tables too]

As I've stated, for FLHE overall it is 2.85% decrease in rake overall. Slight *increases* at 15/30+, reductions at 5/10 and below at most stakes. Please FLHE players, read my FLHE specific trip report rather than eye-ball the rake charts.

For prosperity, here is the 2011 FLHE rake table:

Are we happy with that?

Wow, this is way better than the old FTP rake for Stud games iirc.

I think the third dollar got taken out at either 50 or 60, and a max rake of $1 on 1/2 seems way better than the $3 FTP had. Never played on stars obv.
