It does matter. At the $2/$4 game I believe the most rake you can pay is $3 (about £1.50). At the £1/£2 game the most rake you can pay is £3 (about $6.00). The stakes are about the same, but the maximum rake at the £1/£2 game is twice the rake at the $2/$4 game.
I play the pound games, but I never noticed that I was paying more in rake. I will have to rethink my strategy. Are the pound games so much better than the dollar games? | | Static Link |

Kinda sucks but hey you're getting 50% see flop rates instead of 35-40%!
Whether you pay 3 USD/GBP in rake doesn't really matter. Poker is about BB and not about some currency values.
And then I wonder at which 1/2 USD tables at Crypto tables you're getting 35-40% flop on average. Certainly not the ones I am playing as they're tight as hell most of the times (but easily beatable) and have an avg. in the low thirties (30-33% max.). | | Static Link |

I don't play pounds personally so take this for what it is worth. But most folks I have talked too have said that the pound tables are much easier if you can afford the fact that it is, as you have said, essentially a $2/4 table. And I certainly think the number of BW types has increased significantly at the $1/2 tables the past few months. | | Static Link |
