Here's a recent article on PokerTableRatings concerning dealt compared contributed rakeback rakeback.
First, those who don't know the difference, here's a small course 101 between these two methods of rakeback.
With a DEALT rakeback, rake the pot is divided by the number of players. For example, one pot with $ 3 in rake in a 6 - max game will donate $ 0.50 rake to each of the players, regardless if this player has folde preflop or if he played the hand to the river. If the player has 27% rakeback as at FullTilt Poker, this player will be therefore $ 0.135 rakeback for that hand, while there folde preflop.
In comparison, a player with a CONTRIBUTED rakeback will be paid $ 0 if folde preflop. If it is responsible for 50% of the rake and it is $ 3 rake (for example, if only two players in the blinds are found assets in hand and the pot has a rake of $ 3), the player will therefore paid $ 1.50 rake and will receive $ 0.405 rakeback.
Quickly, can therefore draw a conclusion: a player tight will take advantage to play on a site with a DEALT rakeback, while a loose player participating in many hands will have advantage to play on a site with a CONTRIBUTED rakeback.
Most sites use a method of calculating CONTRIBUTED. FullTilt Poker.com , Tilt and PokerStars are virtually the only ones who use a DEALT method.
At the end of this analysis, PokerTableRatings calculated the "actual rakeback percentage". This amount was calculated by dividing the rakeback received by the rake paid by you personally (rake contributed).
The following table contains three players from NL10 9 - MAX on FullTilt Poker with a VP$ different IP (VP$ IP = % of time that a player voluntarily putting money in game preflop). The player with a VP$ IP of 12% is very tight so that the player with a VP$ IP 25 is very loose.
As you can see, the player very tight actually receives more than 50% in rakeback. It receives more than its share of money from pots where his opponents more loose participate. The player more Stuart, on the contrary, receives only 22% effective rakeback, is less than the rate that displays FullTilt Poker.
The DEALT method clearly advantage players nits. A super-tight player will receive more than its share of reward while he remained on the lines aside while his opponents to qualify for many pots. Should sites not rather to benefit players who give the action?
