Taking Advantage of Rakeback

in Rakeback Articles

In poker you want to win your opponent’s money and add it to your own. You want to take every penny off of them that they will allow you. Why not take this approach with online poker rooms and rakeback? You want to play at the room that you can make the most money at. You can normally find some special rakeback promotions going on at the different poker rooms like rake races, special tournaments, and special freerolls.

When you are playing for rakeback you are earning a guaranteed hourly rate that is added onto your win rate. To maximize these two you want to play at an online poker room that offers a good rakeback deal, and has plenty of fishy players to prove your win rate against. A great room for this is Full Tilt Poker. It is one of the most popular online poker rooms in the world and has tons of fish along with a 27% rakeback deal. The rakeback deal is a bit lower than some of the other poker rooms, but is more than made up for in the special deals you get with Full Tilt Points.

Another great way to take advantage of rakeback is to play multiple tables. The more tables you play means the more hands you are in. Every hand that you are in adds to your monthly gross rake and is added to your rakeback. You get to play more hands so you have the opportunity to win more, and you will also earn much more rakeback because you are playing more. Even if you are playing and breaking even you are winning because you have your rakeback coming in. Once you get a few rakeback checks deposited into your account you will be moving up in limits in no time.

It is obvious that the more you play the more rakeback you will accumulate. The more tables you play and the more hours you put in means the bigger your rakeback check will be. When you are first starting to play in the micros make sure you keep all of your rakeback money in your account and use it to pad your bankroll. This is a great way to help move up in limits and to make sure that you are secured in a limit.
When you see that you have a large rakeback check coming in you also have the ability to take shots much more quickly. If you are only a few buy ins away from moving up and you know you have a good amount of cash coming in to you in the next day or two you can go ahead and start taking your shot at the higher limit. You have to make sure that you still account for how much you lose before you have to move down. Practicing good bankroll management will help to ensure that you never bust your poker bankroll and that you will keep the money from rakeback and your win rate coming in.
