Hello,
What is more profitable?
A 50% rakeback deal on an iPoker skin, or being supernova on Pokerstars?
I have no idea how to calculate this.. I'm already supernova on Pokerstars, right now I play between 4k and 10k hands per day @25NL (will be moving up to 50NL in a couple of days), and potentially plan to play the same amount on William Hill with 50% rakeback.
Thank you in advance

Is it even possible to play 4k hands in a day on iPoker? I was under the impression the player volume is not that great.

In any case yeah 50% rakeback is going to beat the hell out of any pokerstars bonuses.

supernova is what ? like 37% rakeback i think. But Ipoker micros are way tougher full of rakeback grinders. Dont think the added rakeback compensates for that, software is lolbad too and full of bots. I would never switch if you are supernova right now

In basic terms, 50% RB > Supernova; but it isn't that simple.

You can't 24-table on iPoker for a start. Less volume = less RB. Plus there's game quality/selection to consider. Your only true concern is your hourly rate. Earning more RB doesn't help if your winrate drops.

You should probably just suck it and see. As a high volume player, it won't take you too long to play 100k hands on Will Hill whilst also playing enough hands to maintain Supernova on Stars. Compare your hourly rates at both sites and play wherever you make the most money.

just a word of warning.

i switched to William Hill and it was a disaster.

yes the 50% was great but the software is so different and so r the players.
games were short (ok , im a limit player). the hole cards were generally far inferior for much longer stretches and the fish were far more profitable.
i hardly hit a board and most of my top pairs were rivered.

it probably sounds like sour grapes but it was a real shock.

I hv gone back to stars where i can beat my level for 1.5bb/100

I hope u fare better....keep us informed.

It's kind of annoying that Pokerstars made PTR stop tracking Stars hands, because otherwise you'd be able to compare winrates and rake paid by the biggest winners on each network. I think the fact that so many more pros choose Pokerstars would indicate that Stars offers the best "returns" (hourly profit, customer satisfaction) in the long run.
