E and yeah I get your point more hands blalalblatiblaa but the statement I guess more rake is better is just nonsense in this situation.
I grinded 5max for 1 year and a half and yes, it changes.
Regarding the rake, every decent regular has a higher VPIP (28+) and more hands on average get to the Flop.
Regarding the win rate, it depends from your skills. If you particularly suck in the blinds game, your win rate will have a decent drop since you just burn a profitable position (UTG) and won't recover otherwise.
Having said that, I don't think that the only reason pokerstars.it made this choice was some extra rake they get.
Italy isn't a huge market and sometimes NL50 zoom has trouble starting. In the future it will probably get worse, since a new law passed and from 2019 gambling commercials will be totally banned.
Probably they hope that filling tables earlier will help.
In addition to this, the main competitors in the Italian market use 5max tables as a standard, so it's not like you can say ''f**k this, I'm cashing out and play 6max elsewhere''.
