Thanks for your responses daun666!
Couple of follow up questions that pop to my mind and observations also.
I think opponents on 11 euro Microgaming are weaker then ones on 15s Stars on average, therefore we should have more edge on them there?
Also, on Microgaming there is traffic to play 100 of those a day easy but we can have 50% + RB (depending on races more of course). While on Stars without SN you pretty much depend purely to make profit pre RB.
Do you think is it possible to be BE pre RB with 10% rake per game in HU hypers? If answer is yes then on Microgaming my student could make just from rake 1.5k euro (50% rb) playing 100 games a day on 11s assuming he will be BE there. 1.5k Euro is about 2k $. To earn 2k$ on Stars he would need to play more volume on Stars or simply have way higher win rate.
Am I wrong here and if so correct me please?
It seems to me that it pays off to play Microgaming cause there is tons of value in RB cash earned.
Thanks in advance for your responses !
it is possible for best players AND 1 tabling, ppl think roi is capped at ~7% on stars games, that is what you need to be b/e at microgaming with 10% rake and for low stakes player that seems impossible, at least you would need to spend alot of time improving and getting sick sick good at crushing fish.
seems waste of time to me, spending months improving just to be b/e pre rakeback
Again thank you for responding so fast with all the awesome info - really appreciate it!
So far my student has played on Microgaming 770 hu hypers on 2.75 euro limit (0.25 rake). He has 55.2% ITM 0.4% pre rb roi and is running under EV so far.
I realize this is joke sample but just wanted to share that info with you to support what I have been saying about ridiculously soft competition there.
You mentioned that on Stars he needs 53% to have 2-3% ROI but that won't make him the same amount of money he could make here post rb.
I like the idea of Stars if you have SN cause 37% rb in future year actually adds up a lot if you say play 6k hypers a month or so - then it really adds up and RB winnings do become important.
I am still unsure if I should let him play Microgaming, switch to Stars or even go to Ipoker which has interesting HU format 800 chips starting 2 min blinds levels and rake is similar to Stars there also.
I will test myself Microgaming one month playing 100 a day and see whats up in 3k games on 11s hu hypers then will let you know of my results - we can perhaps use that small sample of 3k games to judge if its worth it or not.
