Rakeback For Multi Table Tournaments

The effect of rakeback if you are primarily a multi-table tournament player won’t have a significant effect on your poker bankroll. Multi-table tournament poker brings such high rates of variance with it that overall rakeback won’t have a huge effect on your actual return on investment.

However, there is no need to give away free poker money is there? If you are going to pay a $5 entry fee while playing the daily 50k guarantee on Full Tilt then you might as well get a couple bucks back in rakeback earned. Some value is better than no value, and think of it this way, you will earn one free tournament buy-ins worth of rakeback for every 30-35 mtt tournaments you play. If you play a lot, this can and will add up – and winning a daily 50k while on your “free” buy-in can feel extra special, if winning $10,000 for a few hours work doesn’t get you excited enough already!

The biggest value for tournament poker players getting rakeback is in the extra promotions that come along with it, like private freerolls. Most of the players don’t show up for these once a week or once a month poker tournaments, and that leaves a lot of dead money on the table. The players that do show up to play the private tournament are often cash game players or low limit players, as the high limit cash game players don’t have a lot of interest in playing a tournament like this.

The key point as a tournament player is take the value you can get, it does affect the strength of your bankroll. When an inevitable downswing hits your tournament winnings, it’s always nice to cashout a couple hundred in rakeback anytime you want.
