Makes some sense. But I'm not sure it's as great as you think it is.


If you participate in the tournament BEFORE getting in your raked-hands, as you suggest, then you don't know ahead of time if you are going to run well or not.

It might be better to play the raked-hands FIRST and then you can play a couple of MTT's if you like IF you are way behind for the month (although if you are behind for the money then you also have a similar overlay by just trying to get your raked-hands in).


Example:
Play 10k raked-hands. Max bonus is $2k.
But you are only +$200 or so after your 10k raked-hands because you didn't run so hot.
NOW almost every MTT you play is like a big overlay.
But, of course, just playing more raked-hands to try to get that bonus is a similar overlay.

I think this bonus is more suitable for high stake NL players instead of MTT players.
