PokerStars vs Ipoker Rake Question PokerStars vs Ipoker Rake Question

01-13-2012 , 04:48 PM
Obviously everything is up in the air at the moment with pokerstars but just wanted to ask about the differance in current rake between ipoker and stars. My current ipoker site is BetMost and play 10NL 6 max.

I hear that stars is still the lowest for rake even with the changes and i see from their site

3 to 5 players $0.01 for each $0.20 in the pot and max rake of $1.00
but with 6 players its max rake of $2.00

on ipoker they have 2-10 players the same $0.01 for each $0.20 in the Pot and a max rake of $1.00

Am I missing something here or have i just found a sweet spot in the limits?

Thanks for your time.

At stakes like that your rakeback deal is going to be way more important than the exact intricacies of the rake system. $1 cap, $2 cap, it's practically the same since the cap is only hit on pots of 200bb+ at $10NL. On iPoker you should be looking for ~60% rakeback. On Stars at $10NL you will get close to 0 effective rakeback.

I believe that Betmost has it wrong there. I dont play at ipoker at the mo (played there about 3 or 4 years ago) but checked a couple of poker rooms of that network and the chart is not the same as Betmost is presenting. I am pretty sure that is the bestmost one that it is wrong...


Check for example Titan Poker which is a major player of ipoker network:

Note that NL is down there, first tables up are Fixed Limit (LHE) not NL.
