Is low stakes rush and cash beatable? High rake
Hey guys,
I would like to hear your opinion. So I am not a professional poker player. But I have been an active online poker player on the low stakes for 15 years now. My main format was always fast poker (call it zoom/rush and cash...). I now started playing NL25 rush and cash on GGPoker and I noticed that my bankroll graph showed me a positive win rate of 11bb/100 over the last 10.000 hands. However my bankroll stayed exactly the same. At the beginning I thought I made some calculation error, but the numbers are real.
I hate the discussion of "is online poker even still beatable"... but wtf. Actually I am very happy with my performance, because I think winning at 11bb/100 is a very good win rate. However it seems totally unrealistic to me to have a decent win rate when the rake is that high. How is anyone able the move up in stakes and build a bankroll. It is a little bit depressing.
I wanted to hear your thoughts about this topic.
Would you recommend another site or just another format (MTTs/regular tables). I also read that the rake decreases when you move up. However the skill edge does too...
Cheers
Max

Hey,
Of course it's beatable. You are probably looking at pokercraft's graph, right? Everyone is a winner on those graphs cause it doesn't include the rake.
that you get raked 11bb/100 seems absurd. How can you be profitable? What kind of a win rate is achievable? Is anyone out there who is beating rush and cash NL25 or NL50 before rake back? And what kind of win rate do you have?
