    I did the calculator and I'm not sure if its right or maybe I'm doing it wrong. The max rake at 1/2 is 3 dollars correct? So if I'm playing 6 max 3/6= .5 and then 27% of .50 cent is 13 cents per hand. If i'm seeing 300 hands an hour that should be 39 dollars in rakeback per hour.? I understand rake won't be full rake everyhand so say if we lowball to 30 an hour and say if I play 40 hours a week that would be $1200 dollars correct? When I do the calculator its saying I would get only get 1400 a month back? What am I missing here?

    Serial,

    The problem, I believe, is that the average rake per hand at 1/2 is actually quite a bit lower than $3 per hand. For instance, there are lots of hands that don't even get raked because there is no flop seen. On most online sites, the rake is $1 per $20 in the pot up to $3. You can figure out the average rake based on the average pot size, subtracting some for hands that don't get raked because there is no flop. In most 1/2 NL 6-max tables I see, the average pot is $20 or less, so the average rake per hand where a flop is seen would be under $1.

    Hope this helps.
