FAO SKY - HU OMAHA CASH

edited May 2014 in Poker Chat

Why is there not HU Omaha Cash tables at 2p/4p, 5p/10p, 10p/20p?

The lowest limit is 25p/50p, thus £50 for full stack.

Would like to give these a try, but £50 buyin is a bit too much for little old me!

    7.5% rake would kill HU stacks as it does for nl 2p/4p.
    Better of with sit & go's at low levels.

    Is the rake rate the same for HU cash tables as it is for 6 max?

    The Rake is a service fee that's collected by the house from the hands played during any real money cash game and is calculated as per the table below.

    A Raked hand is a hand that you participate in - this means that you have been dealt hole cards and the hand has generated at least £0.01 in rake for the player.

    Sky Poker operates a no-flop no-drop policy. If a hand is completed without a flop being dealt then no Rake is taken.

    All transactions including Rake are in GBP.

    Sky Poker reserve the right to amend the rake levels at any given time, any such changes will be published here.

    Rake levels: 5p/10p and below

    Number of PlayersMaximum Rake % per PotMaximum Rake per Pot
    27.5% of the pot*£0.70
    3+7.5% of the pot*£1.40

    (*Rounded UP to the nearest pence)

    N.B. Whilst current rake due is updated on every street after betting actions are completed, rake is not actually deducted until the hand is completed,

    Here’s an example to show you how this will be calculated:

    • We are playing on a cash table where the blinds are £0.02/£0.04
    • The flop is seen by 2 players with 20p put into the pot pre-flop, rake at this stage is 7.5% * £0.20 = 1.5p (rounded up to 2p) therefore 18p in the player pot
    • At the turn another 80p is bet in total making a £1 pot, rake at this stage is 7.5% * £1 = 7.5p (rounded up to 8p) therefore 92p in the player the pot
    • At showdown, another £1 is bet making a total pot of £2, rake is now 7.5% * £2 = 15p (no rounding required) therefore £1.85 in the player pot goes to the winner

    Where do you find out the rake rate for different levels of cash? 

    Thanks.

    Thanks belsibub.

    Even if there was a 10p/20p table then it would be raked at 5%.

    Surely it's more fairer to have a flat rake rate over all levels?
