Question on party VIP & PT rake

[shdw01]

I've read about this VIP stuff you guys talk about. How do you get it?

Also, on PT, what is "Total Rake"? with only 8,167 hands in 2006 (2/4), I have only $559 of rake. Now I know a raked hand is at least $1, and I know there were waaaay more than 1000 raked hands...how does PT figure out what rake was "mine"?

Thanks

Hi,

PT calculates the rake from the pots you won only (i think).

FWIW I've played 13,630 hands at 2/4 this month and paid $806 in rake = $0.059 per hand.

Yours works out at $0.068 so it's about right ( I probably play a bit tighter than you).

As for the VIP, I think you have to pay over $1000 in rake in a single month to be considered. I managed that this month and they emailed me yesterday to say i was in.

Hope that helps.

You don't pay $1k / month is rake. That is what gives. We are special.

Either I'm drunk and lost, or this isn't the zoo.
