    I am kinda new to Rakeback. I am planning on playing between 80 and 150 $11+1 stts on fulltilt most days.

    Is it +EV to sign up for Ironman?

    I get 27% RB from rakebackpros.

    How much and when will my RB take a hit if I sign up for Ironman?

    Thanks for any help...

    With Iron Man as far as I know there's only a few things that you can do that will affect your rakeback and they are:

    Playing in the iron man freerolls instead of getting medals is just like playing in an MTT with an overlay except the whole tourney is an overlay... (pretty sure they figure it out by dividing the prize pool by the number of entrants but not positive)

    Also if you get the medals and use them to get FT points (and use them) or the cash bonuses...

    The best thing to get with your medals is the 24+2 tokens as far as I've heard because theres no hit since your paying $2 in rake with the token... There may be other things that will affect rakeback but this is what I know about hope it helps...

    For the cash bonus, does it deduct 100% from rakeback or 27%

    It deducts 100% from MGR thus 27% of the deducted amount is a hit to Rakeback.
