I think this might be related to the fact that 33% (cake's rb) is 22% more than 27% (FTPs), but I dunno. Either way it doesn't make sense - we have less of an edge per game and we play more games, so even at the same rake rate cake wins. making it more on top of that is just greedy/a miscalculation.
are you buddies with lee or something? how do you know all the details about this stuff?
haha no not buddies w/Lee ;p, sponsored by a cake skin (Redback Poker) and the giu who creates the new SNG stuff / structures / etc. for their games contacted me because I had told the redback people cake needed to be notified cause of the rake in the games, etc., etc., it was obv an oversight, so we went about clearing it up, and for now, this is what we have. Hoping to get it changed to something better in the future but for that we need feedback, and they are considering everyhing. For me personally as well rake is obv the biggest issue, I think it needs to be signficantly lower than turbos / reg speeds as obviously the winrate will drop considerably. I think iPoker does it this way but cant play on euro sites, so can anyone who plays there chime in with their % rake at the different levels and maybe also their structure / blind levels as well?
