For the record, I can see how this might be different in PLO, I'm talking specifically about NL.
Re-read and understand. I don´t think a player who thinks is getting 51% rakeback but is mostly screwed by his inability to adjust to the splash pots will be happy about this form. That´s why I said from everybody´s perspective. And I don´t think it is the majority. 60-50 pro splash at best. And most of those who contribute here and on discord are also profiting from this. I believe the bad players do not even care to go here or to discord. So, if every player understood the mechanism behind it, I am pretty sure, the majority would dislike it.
Since the splash pots, if I am not mistaken, come up after big(ger) pots (the bigger the previous pot[s] the higher the splash), makes it also pretty bad for loose players, since loose players give tight players more chances for rakeback. Loose --> more hands, more big pots, more rake ---> tight --> fewer hands, fewer big pots, less rake = equal amount of splash pots.
Of course the big splashes are rare, but they do have an impact.
