Well I had to grind out some vpp's so I could make a withdraw so I played 6 max LH and realised how much I used to enjoy playing this game. I have since decided I would start playing 6 max again as my main game. I thought I was going to play $2/$4 but the money didn't seem to matter at that level anymore. So today I tried $5/$10 and I felt pretty comfortable at this level. So I think I am going to start grinding 5/10 on Cake daily and was curious how much RB I will earn monthly? If anyone has grinded on Cake and has a good idea on the numbers please let me know.
To be honest, I think your aggressive style is much better suited for tounaments. Being so aggressive in 6-max LHE can also be profitable, but you should look for tight opponents who let you run them over. Beware of players who are very showdown bound.
As for how much rakeback. I have an MGR of $4237 from 15000 hands of $5/$10 6-max LHE. They are on Full Tilt but Cake has the same rake structure. With 30% rakeback, I would have received 0.3 * $4237 = $1271 rakeback if I had played these hands on Cake.
So, you should count on something like $800 rakeback for every 10K hands played.

Thanks Willem for the advice, I do agree that only some people you can push around and that I will need to adjust my game to those who are showdown bound. I think this will just make me focus more and become a stronger player overal. Eventually I may just grind MTT's but for now I would like to grind out a nice fat side income. The variance in MTT's is just so much higher then in even 6 max LH I think.
