Second game is 1/3 with a straddle button with 10% at 6.7bb cap, I'd say there is a straddle about 50% of hands. (max buy in is 330bb)
3rd game is 2/5 at 10% with a 3.2bb cap (100bb max buy in).
All games are no flop/no drop.
All these games have freerolls/ high hands promos etc so I'd guesstimate that 15-25% of the rake is going back to the players on avg.
I know that if table is decent most theses games may be unbeatable but assuming a bunch of splashy fun players with a couple of nitty weak players are all these games still worth playing in? Or are some blatantly unbeatable?
Just to put some perspective on this...
Assuming the 1/3 game runs kinda normally (i.e. not super big), I'd assume the average hand to result in a 30bb pot (e.g. 5bb open, two+ callers, 1/2 pot bet otf with one call, and is taken down ott). At 20 hands per hour (low estimate), the house is raking 60bb/hr off the table.
My guess is this game is unlikely to be beatable unless you got folks willing to routinely stack off with poor hands.
