But it doesn't say the EV of this. I bet it cannot beat the 5% rake since it says to play almost every preflop hand. What's you people opinion on this, that with 6 players the rake is beatable whereas with 2 players it is not?
That is limit holdem without rake. Not many people play limit anymore and the strategy for NL with rake would be completely different.
The EV of your strategy depends on your opponent, so I’m not sure what you mean. The paper is just saying that nobody can beat their strategy. It would nearly break even against someone playing perfect equilibrium, and beat nearly everyone else.
Whether or not the rake is beatable depends on who you’re playing. At the stakes where rake is highly significant the opponents are terrible. Pretty much all games are beatable except maybe some illegal rooms with obscene rake or cruise ships.
