Yeah and I would also add when talking about rake on GG that the calculations for rake paid in bb/100 on primedope are way too low. From my sample, I pay easily 15-20% more rake in bb/100 than primedope shows. And by the way, I don't cold call outside of the BB most of the time, so it's not like I play a strategy that just pays more rake due to the preflop strat.
It can get really high and tough to beat especially if you have terrible luck for the bad beat jackpots. If you run good and get the collateral share of the BBJ reasonably often, your rakeback can be really high. Otherwise, it has a very negative impact on your overall winrate/hourly. Leaderboards are another important thing here when talking about rakeback and your bottom line.
