How should I adjust my play considering rakeback
If I expect certain level of money back at the end of the month from rakeback, should I then play some hands that are -EV at the moment but profitable after I get my money from rakeback.
Or, should I just play the hands that are +EV and count rakeback as the extra to the winrate.
Where I'm coming from is the fact that some hands are -EV just because of the rake, thus having rakeback would make the environment as if with smaller rake
Also the rakeback amount is 30% (they promised 60% but it's some kind of small text catch - basically i get the same money back as the reward system)
The levels in question are the micros so that's why it probably matters quite a lot

You should calculate your Effective rake pressure and go from there
First time I'm hearing of this term but I never yet employed any mathemathical approach to determining the impact.
Most I've done is analyzed how many bb the rake is taking from my winrate based on the hands I played.
To adjust the preflop ranges I watched some RIO videos for the stakes I play
Is there a software, method/approach or RIO esstential vid for doing what you said?
And to clarify, your answer confirmed my thinking was correct?
Yes you should certainly account for rake pressure to adjust your ranges. You calculate effective rake pressure simply by rake - rakeback = effective rake.
So example micro rake pressure on your site = 10bb/100 and you have 30% rakeback the effective rakepressure = 10-3 = 7bb/100
So that will be the number to use in the calculations when tweaking your ranges.
Thank you very much
