The $50 NL games at Hollywood (and other sites on the same network, I assume) have a maximum rake on any hand of $1.
For that reason alone, if $50 NL is your game, you should be playing those sites. Every other site I have seen takes up to $3 even at $50 NL. This should make a difference in your winrate of at least a couple of dollars per hour if you 4-table. A big difference.
Does anybody know of other sites that have this lower maximum rake? Or different rake policies in general? I know that Prima used to have a 30c max rake at the $20 NL tables, which was awesome.
UPDATE: Hollywood's max rake is just $2 at $100 NL. It's well under $1 at games lower than $50 NL. Good for them. And good for lower limit NL players too.
