Hello,

I am wondering if it is better playing at a small poker site with soft competition, but pay higher rake than Stars?

According to PTR rake analysis for NL 6 max, 10nl Stars' rake is 10.02bb/100 hands and an ipoker site is 14.4bb/100 hands.

Generally speaking, most small poker sites usually do have more weaker players. I witnessed this first hand when I played for some time at 888.

The thing is though, are the players at the smaller sites that much softer than players at Stars that you will make up a 4ishBB difference per 100 hands ?

Hi, maythany
I think that there are too many variables.

How would you tell which was better -- you would need a large sample on each site.

I even wonder how they determine what the rake is in BB/100, since your VPIP influences that number considerably. Postflop aggression enters into the number too.

On the site where you got those numbers, do they describe the methodology?

Peace,
--VS
