Don't you think they would frown on that...

They didn't last time - Some 2+2'ers actually emailed them and asked them. No harm in doublechecking if we decided to go ahead with this.

Actually, would be better to do this at 6-max tables. Slightly more hands/hour.

lol that would get me some points ^^

I am halfway to 100k points, and 10k from Supernova..I won't get 2 bonuses in the 12 days, but since summer is coming, if I am close I will play 10 hours a day to hit the second one for senior trip and then I will actually spend 1500 at the beach instead of bringing it with me and spending 150 like I always do [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (Ok, maybe 500-800 is what I will spend)

No, it wouldn't - There's never any flop nor any rake. Everybody folds every hand except the BB. Even if you have aces PF, you fold them. You're just churning through hands to try and get milestones.

The exception is milestone hands, you play those out normally because there's a big bump for winning those (or I suppose you could agree in advance that the BB wins those too, but that's expecting a lot from people....)

Doesn't the BB at 200 and above generate enough rake to get one point?

I thought it did for some reason..

[D.L.M.]

you degens, poor pokerstars.

I may have mentioned it before [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] but this is my favorite play in poker.

Oops! 3-bet too small!

MP2 is the reason I came to this table, and there was a seat open on his left. I was pretty annoyed after the hand when I saw I had left him with $3 still. Since then he's turned it into 16 1ol

Really? I assumed folding to the BB generated no rake (no flop, no drop).

If so, we'd definately have to do the math to figure out if this would be worthwhile (ie: the amount we'd wind up paying to rake vs the EV of hitting millionth hands).

[Cry Me A River]

Yep, I just started observing $200NL. Just watched a hand get folded to the SB. The SB raised and the BB folded. No rake was collected.

[GrandMelon]

Yea theres no rake if theres no flop.
