25TO100MARCH wooohoo

I cash out most of my funds to my bank, and most of my online roll was already in Party (Doh). So I had to visa it or only do a portion of the bonus. Visa it is.

I got 25TO100MARCH as well, but I'd rather get the 3x bonus. I also emailed them, so I hope it's the 3x bonus like Tk79 said.

Also, I'm a VIP, though my accel-er-8-tor bonus blows dicks.

i think that those of us with the acceler8or offer and the reload offer may also be getting the 3x offer. my friend with the 75 3x offer said that the bonus just appears as a normal 75 reload in the bonus details page, but the pop-up tells of the triple opportunity. well, i already have a pop-up reminding me of the acceler8or promo, so maybe the other pop-up doesn't show up. i can dream, right? normally, there would be a pop-up notifying the regular reload, so it sorta makes sense. i can't play tonight, so if somebody clears the bonus tonight and another pending bonus shows up tomorrow, let us know.

I think this is a valid theory.

Reason we aren't getting the triple-up pop-up about it is because we are getting the A8 pop-up instead.

25TO100MARCH for me, already cleared it though, only took about 1500 break even hands. Anybody know when I get the next $100, I wanna play more. lol.

looking at it as 'every 1.4 hands' being raked is actually slightly confusing to me...but I think I get your drift.

Looks like you are playing 6-max (since you are assuming 100 hds/hr...I assume closer to 95, but whatever...100/hr makes the calculations easier).

I usually go by something like:
3/6 6-max = about 50% raked
5/10 6-max = about 70-72% raked

so, 4 tables of 3/6 = 200 hds an hour
2 tables of 5/10 = 142 hds an hour

Note - I think slightly fewer hands get raked at 3/6 then what you are speculating. But it's all about table-selection and how tight you might be playing, etc.

Regardless, our calcs are pretty much the same and it's pretty clear that 4-tabling 3/6 would do it faster than 2-tabling 5/10.

However, 3-tabling 5/10 would likely go about the same as (or perhaps a little faster) 4-tabling 3/6.

What exactly is a raked hand on PP for bonus purposes? Can't find it.

Dennisa · #77 03-10-2006, 09:36 PM

any hand that is raked 10 cents or more per pot. if a pot is raked 5 cents then it only counts if 5 or less are playing.

Sabrazack · #78 03-10-2006, 09:39 PM

10 cents or more per pot? this cant be correct, this would mean all postflop hands are "raked hands". Right?

MicroBob · #79 03-10-2006, 09:44 PM

almost all.

on baby no-limit tables there are some hands that only get raked $0.05.

The point here is that there isn't any of this 1/4 raked-hand crap (if less than $1 rake) like they do on crypto or true.

If it's raked AT ALL than it counts (with a couple of little exceptions in the smaller games which don't even effect many players)

This bonus is great! Too bad you can't start on the 2nd bonus right away. I finished the first in 5 hours today. I'm running good too at juicy tables but now that I know there is a bonus coming up in a day, I can't bear to "waste" any raked hands...i'm a whore haha.
