As an avid poker player, you’re probably not a stranger from throwing together a nice home game where you play your friends for bragging rights or even for money.

That, coupled with the fact that online poker play is infinitely faster than live poker, makes it possible for players to log about 1,000 hands per hour, instead of the 20 or 30 they’d be able to complete live. Such a huge hands-volume increase should automatically lead to an increase in the hourly rates of every winning poker player. It will also definitely lead to an MGR increase (players contribute more rake) which means they’ll earn more rakeback as well, rakeback deals like the Full Tilt rakeback represent a direct percentage of this MGR.

While live tables do tend to be juicier indeed than the online ones, it’s needless to say that the game itself is quite radically different from what you may have gotten used to at PokerStars or Full Tilt. It’s a bit like making the jump from the play money tables to the real money ones, only it’s a more radical change.
