Absolute switching to 'contributed method' of rake calculation

[RakeReduction]

I would say Absolute is still going to be strong, FT charges alot against the rake.. You can't really go wrong anywhere

But in limit Full Tilt takes $1 per $20 at 2/4+. AP takes $.25 per $5 at 2/4, $.50 per $10 at 3/6 and the max at 1/2 is $2 instead of $1 at FT.

It was widely assumed that AP's horrible rake structure was due to the bonus. Now that the bonus sucks and looks likely to be deducted the rake is wsy too high compared to other rooms.

So processing charges = deducting for deposits?

And deducting for props. I assume I could be playing shorthanded against a prop and get zero rakeback now without even knowing it, right?

What a scam.

Maybe someone can help me figure this out. My MGR was $3232 for Dec. with a 28% RB. I got approx. $900 back. How much less would it be under the new system?

Depends on how many tourneys they entered you into, how many pts you traded in, how much bonus you cleared.

Since it sounds like they are deducting how they pay props nobody can give an exact answer. It certainly looks like any bonuses would be deducted. You guys should PM Pokermachine our resident AP shill and ask him what is going on.

Since Absolute is changing, I guess UltimateBet will be next - considering that they are merging.

GLAD I did not bother!

Excellent suggestion. I did that. I'll see what he says.
I was so irritated after reading this thread I went back to FT to play tonite. Lots of table choices, 1-2 fish at each table, better winrate. If AP pays the same RB as FT there is no reason for me to stay at AP.

I've played 95% at AP for the last 2 years and have even defended them on 2+2. I guess loyalty is a one way street for these sites. We are only $$ to them.
