The Merge Network (Home of Carbon Poker) has lowered the rake for fixed limit play. The old system took 5% from all limits of play with a $3 cap. The new structure introduces a 4.5% rake for micro limits and as low as 4% for high limit games. This change applies to Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Stud, and any other limit poker action on the network.

The change will mean you will get less rakeback paid into your account, but only because you are paying less rake overall and will make more money overall. For example, if you paid $100 in rake under the old system you would get back $35. Under the new system you will pay $90 and get back $31.50 You would get $3.50 less in rakeback, but pay $10 less in rake meaning your profits actually increased by $6.50 by paying less in the first place.
