    How accurate is the P5's rakeback calculator?

    It seem's after doing some calculations it is WAY off. I 15 tabled 25NL for 5 hrs a day. I averaged 105-110 vpp/hr on stars. So that means I'm paying $20-22 an hour. 33% of that= 7 dollars an hour from rakeback(If i'm playing 25 NL). But the calculator says I will be making +$14 an hour. How can the calculator be THAT off? Or am I missing something? If it's that off it should be changed immediatly.

    Overdose - there's no way to be spot on with a calculator because your rakeback depends on how much rake is being taken at your tables. Depending on how tight/loose play is, what % rake the poker site takes, what method that site uses to calculate, and several other things, rake amounts will vary greatly. The calculator uses averages based on some data brought in a while back.

    That said, we'll look into it and see if there's anything we should be improving about that.

    Yes I completely understand that it will never be 100% accurate because there is too many variables but this seems to be WAY off. I mean if the calculator is saying you'll be getting 14/hr and your only getting 7/hr thats a pretty big difference.
