If rakeback isn't counted towards overall winnings does that mean rake doesn't count to overall losses?

Surely can't have it both ways?

Fuck me, imagine if we'd done the bet, Mat loses, then turns around and says oh hai guys you know rake didn't count right? lol

I've already said I'd bet, but probably depends on a few things:

I think it should be actual $. 100k hands is plenty to slow the variance from your point of view, and less verifiable via PTR for those who don't know you as well.

Also, being able to vary the stakes is a big advantage. You could, say, start off at 5-10, run well the first 20k or 30k hands while fresh and then drop down to 2-4. Or run bad and jump to 10-20 and the odd 25-50 game running. I can see why you need more tables for volume reasons, but ATM there's like 30 400nl 6max games running on FT. It's 11am ET on a Tuesday. So, I think the stakes should be 400nl min to 600nl max.

My mate Chris is up betting ~$5k depending on T&C as well.
