If you do, have you done the math on these?

If you win 3 out of five of these games, you will make a profit of 25p--- good innit?

The 15% rake on these games make them a complete waste of time!

thoughts please

    Why is the rake higher for the lower buy in games?

    according to sky Rich, it is because this rake fits in with the "current business model"

    I didnt even know this was the case, but if it is, surely it's wrong????

    I wouldnt be a happy chappy if I played em - I'd want answers - proper answers, or an answer, in human words, not long ones :)

    On a side note - dyms r the devil. avoid them!!

    I don't play them myself, because of the rake and the structure, but I have tried to get answers--- Thats all I got--- "current business model"--- personally, I build my bankroll on another site that has better structured dyms, with a 10% rake

    I've played loads of £1 DYMs in my time (468 to be precise), IMO they're a good place for a newbie getting used to real money poker for the first time. 

    I play them less often now, but my records show I've got a +10.25% ROI playing £1 DYM here, that's £60 profit from 63.03% cashes.

    Yep, that's after rake, they're quite easy to beat. Some of the rake has come back in cash for points too.

    Do a sharkscope search on me using advanced options if you wanna see for yourself.

    I`ve just played a six-seater 25p/5p rake S & G scary. Two places paid. I paid 30p and won £1.12(prize for 1st place). It is the only 25p table i`ve played today and for a time to be fair. Time to go up a level? But do I lol, me thinks not. Time to invest in maybe an MTT or cash game.

    I completely agree with you Oy. The rakes for the lower level stake games doesn`t seem appropriately placed.

    I very rarely ever play the lower stake games and have posted my thoughts in some other discussion in the forum about the same subject (due to rake/returns) but just fancied the HU at the end to brushen up my HU for my game against DOHHHHHHH as i know he is gooooood! xxxx

    If you cash 6 times out of ten, you make 50p---- 60 times out of 100= 5 quid---500 games with the same percentage = 25 quid--- you did not make 60 quid with a 63% win rate--- more like 25 quid in 468 games

    Getting of topic here with respects to candi's comment you chose the last remaining pure holdem game left in micro section.If you move up to 55p all you have is speed omaha and scary nlh.

     No need to rely on sharkscope stats mate--- just do the maths-- 60% win rate = 5 quid profit from 100 games
