While this may sound too good to be true it is more than possible for those online poker players willing to continually improve their game and find the best rakeback deal. This article covers 5 key areas that aspiring professional rakeback poker players should focus on to maximize their chances of a long and successful career.
First What exactly is rakeback
A rake back deal is an agreement set up between you and the poker house, it is your chance to recoup some of your rake every month. The most common rakeback rate is usually around 30% and paid back to you each month. The example below shows how you can benefit from a rakeback deal arranged by RakeBackPro
You enter a £20 tournament with a fee of £2, at the end of the month you will get 60p returned to back you, regardless of whether you win or lose in the tournament.
We make no charge for this service because the pokerhouses reward us for helping you! They of course prefer not to pay rakeback so will not advertise it themselves, however, they also understand that there is a need to offer rake back to players who know about rakeback, that is where we come in.
Now 60p might not sound a lot but then again, would you buy something from the shop and leave your 60p change on the counter? Multiply this 60p by the amount of games you play each month and it will soon mount up to a figure worth having back.
Become A Rakeback Pro : 5 Tips
Pro Rakeback Players Tip #1 – The Biggest Percentage Is Not Always The Best Rakeback Deal
While it is natural to be attracted to big headline percentages such as 40% or 50% rakeback – the reality is that these higher numbers are often only offered because the sites are having difficulty attracting players. What you might find is a small site, limited selection of tables and – importantly – the majority of your opponents winning rakeback professionals like yourself.
Now compare this with a larger site, with plenty of recreational opponents to win money from and big promotions in addition to a solid rakeback deal. Check out our list of quality rakeback deals to ensure your long-term earning potential does not start off on the wrong foot!
Pro Rakeback Players Tip #2 – Sharpening Your Online Poker Toolkit
More than just software tools (though these are important), the serious rakeback professional needs to consider their work environment and hardware setup too. Spending a little extra on a decent chair, mouse and dual-monitor setup should be seen as an investment and not an expense. Hardware that can handle multiple tables and programs as well as software including heads-up display and hand history database functions is also a must.
Pro Rakeback Players Tip #3 – The Right Mental Approach
Many aspiring rakeback pros overlook the critical mental aspects of going full time. Firstly there will be many temptations to use your time to other activities, when your income is tied to the hours worked you will need to create – and stick to – a schedule without making excuses. Tilt management is also key, both avoiding tilt the best you can and having a plan in place for when you do tilt can save many dollars. Finally, downswings can feel worse when you play professionally. Make sure you are able to keep those important poker decisions separate from your results – and that your rakeback deal can tide you over during any long breakeven phases.
Pro Rakeback Players Tip #4 – Becoming A Multi-Tabler
Increasing both your profits and rakeback earnings quickly can be achieved by adding more tables at your current level. While your decisions (and thus profits) may be slightly worse – since you’ll have less time for reads and bet sizing decisions – the larger number of tables will increase your overall hourly rate to compensate. Bear in mind that it is difficult to improve your skills and multi-table at the same time. You should make the time for analyzing hands away from the tables and cut down on the number of tables played when you decide it is time to move up levels.
Pro Rakeback Players Tip #5 – Bankroll Management Applies To You!
Bankroll management is overlooked by a surprisingly large number of poker players, however this unglamorous subject is vitally important to anyone wishing to become a rakeback poker professional. However good you are at poker the natural swings in the game will affect you at some point. Maintaining a large bankroll has the added advantage of allowing you to make decisions based on expectation without having to think of the money aspect. Maintaining 20 to 30 buy-ins for the level you play will insulate you from all but the worse swings.
