**** offYour experience is so good that you don't even know that at 10NL or below the rake is next to nothing on stars dumb ass. Your such a pro who are you again? Your an ass hole that has his head up his ass. stars has rake back but your so smart you already knew that not. Also your wrong about the MGR I checked what a joke. Another dumb **** that can't beat the low limits so they think they have to play short or have rake back. What a wast of time. If you such a big time pro then why are you in the micro thread? I have played on more then one site. I can see this is a wast of time so I'm moving on from the site. I feel sorry for anyone that listens to you.

Actually the rake at any site is stupid high at microstakes... The fact is you get a good chunk of it back with rakeback. Sadly, Pokerstars does not have rakeback, they have thier VIP system which unless you are Nova level or higher it cannot match the money you get back from a rakeback site.Just because someone makes a living at poker does not mean he is a well known person like the ones you see on TV. There are thousands of people that make a living playing poker and who are not famous. The reason he is in this forum is because he just might be friends with a bunch of the people that post here in this thread. Kosin Trouble

You only need to be a silver star (2nd lowest) to get rake back through their system. I would hate to see what you think is high then because $0.10 out of $3 is very low. Don't ever play live then.

Pokerstars is actually .05 per $1 in the pot to a max of $3 in No Limit games with 6-9 players. So if you shove your $10 thats $1 that goes to the rake(if villian calls shove). So yes I do consider that a fair amount.Because I am currently at ps, I am curious on what you mean by you can qualify for rakeback once you hit silver.Kosin Trouble

Their VIP is not rakeback... it's a bonus system. And you'll get about 5-10% at silverstar... and it will take a while to get even the 5000pt $50 bonus. You pretty much need to be supernova or supernova elite to actually beat out the rakeback systems at other sites.AP/UB is probably your best bet... since you aren't playing high enough yet to get destroyed the extra rake at their BBJ tables, you can get 30% RB... you have basically unlimited albeit slowly releasing bonus dollars, and their points are pretty much worth a penny per point with the point exchange, since it's unlikely you put enough volume in a month to max it out.FT is your next best bet bc you get weekly RB at 27%, which can help give you that extra umph to take a shot higher a fortnight earlier. The action is pretty decent at the micros although you'll have to table select a little bit.And actually, since the rake has a cap in dollar amounts, not percentage, rake hurts the most in the micros. You need to be playing at at least $50NL before you start seeing a significant rake reduction due to the cap.p.s. if you're going to try to make me look like an ass then at least get your grade school grammar down

Don't really see another option tbh... there are definitely worse cards than a ten as well

How do you figure? I like the size considering it makes it really hard for him to fold anything and leaves almost exactly a psb left.I mean, pricing out draws has its merrits and stuff... but with people uberfastplaying almost every draw now I tend to try to get value from other handsJust cuz you lost the hand and shoved when you were behind doesn't mean you did anything incorrectly

Yeah, and if I made it slightly larger, then it's even less compared to the pot and the shove is even easier for him to call if he still has pair + draw or whatev...today was lulz, at the lowest point, I also went to breakeven for the month, then I won some back... oh well back to battle tomorrow

I had a similar hand the other day my thoughts is may be there is a slight argument that check/calling a shove is better than shoving. They have to have a hand to call but there is a chance (probably very small) that you can get them to do something totally spazzy if you let them do the shoving. I guess it's player dependent though, if the villain is aggressive or passive.
