Which sites count the ante as a participated hand that counts towards the bonuses and rakeback?

I understand if nobody wants to answer [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

As far as I know, all sites do.

If u play on third street, u played in the hand, no???

If a blind of 10c in holdem is a contibuted hand, but a 20c ante-hand in stud isn't -there's something wrong. Right? E.g Absolute does this: ante-not contributed.

Tell them you're not happy with that, and are taking your bus. somewhere else...

I always thought they all did, which is why stud clears a bonus nice and quick. I don't know why someone would not want to answer this.

I don't know about all sites, but while it is not relevant anymore, party poker would only include the hand if there was a rake taken from the pot, thus if the hand got raised and no rake was taken out, then the hand did not count towards your bonuses. I would think that other sites would be similar.

Are you sure? My friend was clearing bonuses on Microgaming just last week, and every hand was counting. Perhaps it depends on the site? And I know when I played at Absolute it counted, although that was back in November and I know they've did a lot of changes since then.

I've seen threads where people ask for tips on where to find fishy games etc. Some of the answers have been "why would I tell you? so you can come and take my share?...."
