FT has skins?!? I signed up years ago via an affliate who won't give me rb and never play there anymore as I can't persuade support to release me from it. But if I could sign up to a skin...

Unfortunatly I've tryed to get rakeback from RTR in FTP but it's impossible cause FTP has decided stopping give it. So, do u think it's possible to create a bankroll and have good results without rakeback?

I got rakeback through RTR after having had a FTP account for a while already. It may not still be possible. Generally, if it's possible, your rakeback affiliate will help you because it's waaaay in their interest.

At low stakes I would not want to play without rakeback.

I'll update you in the future.

But my curiosity is why it is more important have RB in low limits then mid\high ones?

Because RB accounts for a larger percentage of the pot size/amount you might win. Over time, that is extremely significant.

Rake is usually a percentage of the pot, up to a certain maximum - the maximum on FTP is usually $3 I think. So if you're playing .25/50 the rake is essentially uncapped unless you're seeing a lot of 30bb pots. If you're playing 10/20 then nearly every pot that sees 4th is raked the maximum (because $15 pots are very common) but you never pay more than .15bb in rake - wheras at .25/.5 you can pay up to 6bb in rake.

At the *lowest* limits, in some games, the rake is actually even a higher percentage, which is such an enormous load of bull****.
