Posted by B1gfoot: Ahh, yes but if it was not for RB then who do you choose? If ROI includes the varient then yes we all go for D, but then its not varient. Lets face it if in 10k games you only win 200 would you want to play? For me Im not in to poker for the $, yes its nice but I work for that and would find it quite hard to play poker for what I earn, so i play for enjoyment, mabee that reflects my answer a bit.
I would never play without rakeback.
You need a huge sample to determine your ROI because of the variance and other factors such as tilt, connection problems etc everything that affects our profit. Here we are told our ROI so we know we got positive expectations for our investment, the more we invest the more we win. We know how much we will win on our investment so if we lose alot at one point we know we will win alot at another point to get us to the determined ROI.

I think i would like to be the player with the bigger ROI, bigger the ROI means i am a better poker player than other in sit&gos. Profit is not everything in poker, being a good poker player and improving is the most important thing to me!

On higher stakes are better players, so the bigger ROI doesnt mean the better player. A player with 6% on $50 stakes can be a far better player then player with 25% ROI on $10 stakes.

Not always we can see better players in higher stakes! It really depends in the room you are playin. As I said earlier I would prefer having a bigger ROI in a lower limit. But of course playing in higher limits is always the target!

Many off you guys pick A Just to let you know here is a simple calculation wot every player makes on yearly basis:
Fact: each game every player plays they make this profit (Average): A: $5 * 55% ROI = $2,75 + $0,12 RB = $2,87 B: $10 * 25% ROI = $2,50 + $0,24 RB = $2,74 C: $50 * 4,5% ROI = $2,25 + $1,20 RB = $3,45 D: $100 * 2% ROI= $2,00 + $2,40 RB = $4,40
So lets say every player does 20+ games a day so lets say 7000 a year
So then this will be the yearly profit (incl RB): A: $2,87 * 7,000 games = $20,090 B: $2,74 * 7,000 games = $19,180 C: $3,45 * 7,000 games = $24,150 D: $4,40 * 7,000 games = $30,800

So definitly best to pick is player D, no doubt
Doomdy if you're so adamant why ask us our opinion lol. I don't agree you only get good players at high stakes and there's plenty of rich twits who have money to burn also. I don't want care if I get rich from poker. Being a good player is more important to me than winning money although I wouldn't turn it away. I want to get rich from doing something that makes lots of people happy not broke.

well if i could play 20 table at the same time with this ROI i would prefer the 2% ROI at the 100$ averge stakes, because it would be possible to get the supernova elite status on pokerstars, that would be some nice extra money

Yep awood, if it was all about the money then id put my savings in and go play HS and be happy with 2%. The money from that is ok, but shows a fairly bad player tbh, should be min 4%, i know as M3 points out that this eg is calculated and 2% is agivin, but thats not always so, and next year when its -2% then it dont look so good. OK player a is crushing his game thats how I want to be. Just because more money shifts does not mean in the slightest that they are better players. Outherwise Guy Laliberté becomes the greatest player in history.
