Playing 3 tables of 1/2 6 max, I would clear about $10 of bonus every 45 min, which means on a single table it was $10 every 2 hours and 15 min (2.25 hours). If we approximate the hand rate as 60 hands/hour, then we have $10 cleared every 135 hands, or about 3.7 BB/100. In
this thread, I gave my data for Absolute rake at 1/2 6 max at about 3.5 BB/100. Looks my estmation for the earn off bonus in that thread is a little different than in this one. I think my 45 min estimate was a little low. Even so, with 3.25 BB/100 of bonus, and then being able to get a certain percentage (no discussing percentages or talk that could lead to specific affiliates in threads) of 3.5 BB/100 back, it looks like it works out that you're costing Absolute money to play there. I actually quoted 3-4 BB/100 for me at 5/10, where my BB's are larger (it actually may be more like 2-3, but I haven't run the numbers). You should be doing much better than that at 1/2.
