Which one is suitable for calculating Rake Back for each player ?
Example: Pot size 180 minus 9 chips raked. 3 players dealt into the hand. Player 1 folded preflop and put 0 chips in the pot. Player 2 and Player 3 put in 90 chips each. So all three players get 3 chips added to their ERake balance because it divides the total rake out
equally among all players who were dealt in. But PRake distributes those chips
proportionally so Player 1 gets 0 chips added to his PRake balance since he contributed 0% of the 180-chip pot, Player 2 and Player 3 get 4.5 chips each added to their PRake balance because they put in 50% of the pot and thus get 50% credit of the 9 chip rake. Personally I prefer the ERake method of rakeback because it rewards the conservative players and encourages them to play longer at full tables, whereas the PRake method rewards the aggressive players who like to gamble more.
