Differences in Points and Raked Hands requirements

[TheProdigy]

Hey,


I am looking to clear a couple more bonuses before trying to settle down at a site, and am wondering what the difference is between somewhere like Absolute Poker where they have 10 raked hands per dollar, and somewhere like Pokerroom, where they have 7 "points" per dollar....

Thanks for the help

I'm not sure what you are after but the obvious thing is that at absolute you need 10 raked hands per dollar. that means the pot needs to reach to an amount where they take 50c as rake(i think it's $10 pot)

at pokerroom you get 0.07 points per 10c in rake so the bigger the pots the more points you get.

in both cases as long as you are dealt cards you get points or raked hands, you don't have to be in blinds or contribute to the pot in any way.

so at absolute it doesn't matter how high limits you play as long as the rake reaches 50c you get one raked hand

at pokerroom(+skins) the higher you play the higher the rake is so you get more points

if you play low limits then there is only a small difference which bonus is better(7x pokerroom vs 10x raked hands at absolute) but if you play higher pokerroom is much better

don't know if this helps but ask if you got something in mind

Yea, I guess I was just wondering the difference between the two..

I play 1/2 FR and I was just wondering which would be "faster" when cleared
