Limit HU: small stakes on Stars

#1 16th December 2007, 12:24 AM

I watched a game of .50/1 to see what it looked like on Stars and this thing, to me, looks like it is unbeatable or beatable for just a fraction of a BB/100 hands. After 20 minutes, the rake had eaten almost 8-9 BB ! Higher limits might be more sane, but two guys with approx. the same skills will both lose.

Isn't this the reason Full Tilt caps the rake on HU cash games?

Like this one: $145,195 pot, 50c rake: http://www.cardschat.com/f50/ivey-antonius-79272/ (http://www.cardschat.com/f50/ivey-antonius-79272/)

more likely that full tilt just cant be bothered to change the rake for each limit

It is capped but it's not capped low enough (I think it's the same cap as in the 1-2 and 2-4 game). No one ever folds preflop in LHE HU so the 150 hands + played per hour all have rake on them... Probably the fastest way to clear a huge bonus is to sit at 2/4 and try to break even though...

every game {nl or limit heads up or full table} in the low stakes tab is way to overraked in stars
i mean a 25$ with 2.50to 3$ rake is insane
the rake is just brutal to low stakes
