I was just thinking how much of a killer rake can be at lower levels. I've played 22.5k hands at $25NL, winning $855 but paying $450 in rake on top of that, so may ratio of profit:rake is 1.9:1. For all pots played at that level, the average rake taken was 4.39%. I've also played 17.5k hands at $50NL winning $1180 but paying $540 in rake so the same ratio is 2.19:1. For all pots played at that level, the average rake taken was 4.33%

I'm thinking of moving up levels to $100NL and am hoping rake will become slightly less of an issue because I figured more pots would be breaking the $60 mark at which the rake is capped at the site I play. Does anyone have any figures for rake %s or profit:rake ratios at different levels (I realise the 2nd is heavily dependent on how well you're doing generally). Thanks
