So I just used A rakeback calculater for 25nl. 3840 hands per day calculated from 8 hours per day with 35% rakeback. The result was $2218 rakeback per month.......:eek: could this realy be accurate or am I missing some very big detail?

That seems like the amount of rake you'd pay per month. I was playing EZ that amount of hands per day @ 25nl for a month and I can tell you right now that that's not the amount you'd get back

well firstly, do you really play ~4k hands per day, 7 days a week? cos that seems pretty ridic

not sure where you play, but if its stars...

playing 25NL 6 max (70k hands a month, so avgs to ~2300 per day), i made 24.5k FPPs.

24.5k / 235 = amount of storm hypers i can enter = 102

102 / 3 = amount i can expect to get a ticket in = 34

34 * t$11 = $374.5

but obv that doesnt include stellar bonuses.

Ok this is just where I would like to be at some point ith the hours ect. Thats only 5 days/week I have been seeing about 1k hands per 2 hours 6 tableing 4nl. I am slowing wanting to become A pro. Absolutly love the game and trying to come up with some solid plans for getting their. Thinking I might be able to do it just by 8 tableing 25nl with 35% rb on BCP. Have you ever played on carbon JC? cause the 10nl games are pretty much non existent....makes me sad so it will be interesting trying to move up. Oh btw I'm running extremly hot at 4nl I used to think it was difficult to beat but now I can pretty much do it with my eyes closed. Up 70$ this month at 4nl over only 8k hands :) 20BB/100 its obv not accurate but you catch my drift. I would love to start talking more advanced stuff with people cause I played A guy at 10nl that just completly owned my soul I need to improve my hand reading skills for sure.

500 hands/hour 6 tabling seems a little high (just 10 tabled a 2hour session then and booked 1717 hands), but its close enough

4k hands a day slash 28k hands a week is pretty unrealistic imo. even if you got from 6 to 10 tables, thats still like nearly 5 hrs playing per day, every day. its definitely possible if poker is your sole income, but since you said youre playing 4/10NL then i doubt it is just yet.

having a guy own your soul at 10NL is not cool. definitely post some hands from vs him with stats in the HA section.

i dont play at any other site no, so sorry i cant really help you out with the rakeback calculations for sites other than stars. having said that though, i seriously doubt BCP offers 35% RB to people playing micros. that would surely be for the full time grinders paying serious rake.

ps soz this sounds so negative

Don't some sites have higher rake than others? That would have an effect on this as well.

Yeah true I didn't even think of that. All sites are more take than stars, but still even if you're getting more back from paying more it's still hurting your bottom line more.
