Nobody has mentioned the biggest thing that can change this yet ... RAKE

keeping the math simple ... I play 1000 hu games all are $1 + .10 ... I win 501 and lose 499

Did I make a profit? Did I earn 1 dollar?




1000 games X $1.10 = $1100

I won 501 ... I win my dollar and villains dollar for a total of $2 per win ... 501 X $2 = $1002

$1002 (total money won) - $1100 (total money invested) = -$98

I didnt win a dollar, I lost $98 ...

Good point. I have talked to PartyPoker about the high rake for Sn'Gs but they kept giving me the same email over and over explaining that they didn't understand what I was trying to explain...

Rake can be a killer. Is there any way to get rake back? You have to be great to beat the high rake on some sites.

Ya, I'm gonna waste my 20 Party points sometime. I don't like thinking about them.

this is possible due to the worst thing in poker besides a bad beat: rake
