1. On a standard ring game, how is the rake for rakeback calculated?

...Is the 27% rakeback given out of the total rake at a given table? (So, I should make more rake if I sit at a table for 4 hours than if I only sat for an hour, right?).

Or is it 27% out of the of the total rake from the hands that I play only? (So, if I fold preflop I wont be eligible for that rake.)

2. How is rakeback calculated on rush poker? Assuming the 27% of the rakeback is calculated out of the total rake taken from a given table, then it would be possible to make more from RB since rush poker plays so many different tables...right? Also, does the quick fold option affect anything? I know when you fold you move to another table, so do you still qualify for RB from total rake calculated from that table after you've moved?

...Sorry if this is confusing.

FTP uses the dealt method of calculating rb so if you're dealt into a hand you get your portion of rb even if you just fold preflop.

Rush works the same way. Your rake is based on the particular table you're at (not all the Rush tables) and you get credit even if you quick fold.

Hope that's what you were asking.

Even if you quick fold you are still one of 9 on the table. It's the same as if you folded and sat there waiting for the next hand.

Thanks for the question and the answers. Rush Poker should make it alot easier to attain Iron Man status on Full Tilt than it was in the past. I just think Rush Poker is a gimmick for FTP to take in more rake at a faster pace though.

Maybe it's just me but it seems like I get most points from hands I'm in. Trying to clear bonus is slow going sometimes even while auto-folding 2 tables.
