I’m not sure you fully appreciate the damage to your winrate that can come from a cap that high.
Consider what happens if you get all in for $100 each. In the first scenario, you hit the cap at $400 so your $200 pot is fully raked for $10. That’s twice as much as the $5 cap, percentage notwithstanding.
10% with a $5 cap means the rake stops when the pot hits $50. The lower cap catches up quickly!
