Rock Garden Clearance Rates?

BobJoeJim · #1 08-19-2006, 03:05 PM

I just signed up for Absolute, and started working on the bonus at 1/2. Now, based on what I've seen at other sites, if you play .50/1 then about half of your hands will have a rake of .50+, so I figured that at 1/2 at least 75%+ of my hands would meet the required rake for the bonus. Instead, over 172 hands, only 99 of them were raked at all, and only 62 had a rake of .50+

I stole enough blinds to make up for it, so I'm not necessarily complaining, but I am curious. Is it really going to take over 20k hands dealt before I have 7500 raked hands, playing 1/2 here?

I never bothered with Absolute because of what you're complaining about. I heard the bonus is brutal.

bonus clears every 100 rakes hands you get 10 bucks

and without rakeback absolute is useless

I dunno, never found absolute clearance rates to be the problem there, the games were just not that good for my ego though my bottom line was the highest there.

If you play 2/4 or higher it clears well...
At 2/4 it is about 63% and 3/6 is 68% raked at .50 or higer..

I don't know what these "other sites" are, but you don't get 50% qualifying hands at AP at 0.5/1. It's around 10% for 0.5/1. And 1/2 is around 40%, although I haven't played there for a couple of months.

The "other sites" were Paradise and Party. At both of them I got over 50% qualifying hands at .5/1, which is why getting under 50% qualifying at 1/2 at Absolute was so shocking. STOP LETTING PEOPLE STEAL YOUR BLINDS!!! Unless it's me, then fold away [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
