This is not quite accurate. You will lose more from your win rate than that. The exact amount being almost indeterminable because other stacks will consequently be slightly smaller from having paid the increased rake as well, if you are covering those stacks and all of their stack is in. Also, that additional rake could prevent you from having a bigger stack when you win a pot from someone else.
Marginal difference, I know, but just saying. :P I notice it more in California where they use a drop of like 6+2 on any pot that sees the flop. While it doesn't specifically hurt you that often, stacks go from 200 to 100 all around the table in like a couple of hours.
