The rake in 99% of cases makes more then a players hourly rate so I don't know what your trying to say?

He was being cheeky and thought it was obvious and then you were serious and he thought you knew he was being cheeky and were being serious as a level.

If they take $150 off the table/per hour doesn't mean they're taking $150 from each player's stack. If you never win a pot, you never pay rake. The rake will hurt players who win more pots more than players who win fewer pots. Unless you can quantify how many pots and how big you win per hour you won't be able to answer that question.

(ignoring any and all theoretical effects such as player pool getting poorer due to the higher rake or people switching venues, or people adjusting ranges due to the rake) Asked another way, how many "pots>$60" per hr does this player take down?

How much does the answer change if the player is vpip/pfr $24/$20?

Serious questions. I've never analyzed this question, but I would guess somebody has decent estimates based upon data collected from live games.
My *guess* would be two pots per hour (fair assumption?) x $2 extra = $4 per hour off the winrate at this increase, give or take.

I think he was going for the mythical double-check-raise-level!

Not quite true,

because the money taken out of OTHER players stacks is money that WE can no longer win either.

I am happy to report that after 161 hours of 2/5 this year, I am making 38 cents per hour, which does make me a confirmed winner.

I am however preparing to send my resume to a sweatshop, so I can get a raise.

.38/hr could just be variance and you're actually a big loser.

Don't celebrate too fast.

Usually sarcasm works best when you re punching up not when punching down to a person who's already self-deprecating.

But naw, I am not worried, overall I am winning at 8.3 bb per hour.

Why are you so angry all the time? Life needs happiness and rainbows more then hatred and tornado's.

Anger takes a lot of energy and shuts down the mind, far too -EV for someone like me to be.

This is working under the assumption that recreational players won't care about rake increases and will still play the game.

There are no solid #'s to back the theory up, but it is food for thought.
I agree, seems like a very good point. Jacksonville FL rakes $2 if you take down the blinds preflop at 2-5 and their full $5+$2 rake hits at $40 pot. From my lol sample size of 4 long sessions there, pro/table ratio looked really low.

Win rate for last 13hrs or so of 200nl (since Aug 4th) has been $216.48/hr. Is this sustainable?

Pretty much. It represents 99% of the coolers you hear/read about and they're beats that are almost always avoidable.

*shrug* seems high to me, but idk, I've never charted hand by hand live results, and I don't know off the top of my head how many hours one would need to chart for a reasonable sample.

I'd guess softness of games and stack depth can easily make up for a couple of extra bucks of rake.

On the bright side, cooler somebody in your next hand for 100bb's and you'll increase your WR for the period by nearly 1000%.

Can confirm, this is an incredible way to boost your win rate.

It's kinda sickening to think of the extra money being taken off the table with *just* a $2 increase in rake. Over a 8 hour session, that's upwards of ~$480 extra money that we don't have available to be won.

But yeah, softness of games is the key to how big of an affect this has.
