I saw that too

Does anyone know even playing at the largest rake tables, how many hands would have to be played for this kind of rake back?

Not sure but I dont think I played more then 2 hours at the $1-$2 limit tables over the weekend to get $16.

I think it was last week or so, one player got a rebate for over 9k, If you play every day of the week, and play high Limit game, it's not that hard.

WSEX Has $30/60 tables. So you made $8/hr at 1/2, at 30/60 would be 30x that = $240/hr. $6,000/240=25 hours. Seems very plausible.

no, thats now how it works. You don't generage $240 in rake at a 30/60 table per hour.

Matt24 · Aug 28, 2006

At a full 30/60 table you will generate about $19 per hour in rake. It would be around $30 per hour plyaing 5 handed.

How many tables does WSEX let you have open at once?

I was simply going off what SCnit said about his rake. Wouldn't the rakeback be 30x higher at 30/60 than at 1/2? If SC made 8/hr at 1/2 then it seems someone could make 240 at 30/60.

I have no idea, maybe his time estimate was if. But I'm not sure what you mean by "how it works".

No, rake does not scale linearly.

Max rake full table $1/2 is $1.50, at $30/60 is $3.00.

I play 1/2 and 2/4 when I feel froggy. I got $385.00 back this week. Won about $150 on top of that and I am not a very good players. $535 for the week wasting time, not too shabby

Rake at a 30/60 table sucks. Many live games just charge seat rental which works a lot better at those levels. Still that 6 dimes in a week is stunning. If you average $20/hour and play 4 tables that is like playing 10 hours a day. Can you even find 4 good tables for 10 hours a day at good sized stakes? Games at WSEX seem sort of tight to me compared to Party.

Games are definitely tougher there than anywhere else I have played. The sharper you are, the more you recognize what a great thing 100% rakeback is. They definitely need more fish there.

I've had a couple good weeks, but I usually lose all of my rakeback by Thursday there. Thankfully I've only deposited $100 once. Just keep recycling my rake and cashing out weekly profits (when i have them) and playing with the rakeback.

You guys are really good poker players. Everytime I deposit $100 to play $3/$6 or $2/$4, I lose it fairly quick. The no rake is a great promo, but the games are extremely tight. One full ring game of $10/$20 I was watching this morn, was averaging less than $45 a pot. That's hard to do!

A $100 roll is pretty low for a $2/4 game-and especially $3/6. It sucks to be short stacked out of the gate.

With a max rake of $3.00 you get up to 30 cents per hand at a full table. So $9,000 is a least 30,000 hands in a week, or over 4,200 hands per day. At 100 hands per hour that's 42 table hours per day. That could be 4-6 tables in play for 8 hours.

Since there are not so many tables at higher limits my guess is that this guy plays 3/6 and 5/10 limit games with maybe 6 to 8 simultaneous tables.
