wouldn't the rake be very close to how it was before because for each pot you play you'd get a bigger share?

ie. before everyone got .20c per hand dealt, but if you play a pot your % of the rake will be usually much bigger (up to 60-80% bigger?)

That makes sense, but when AP went to contributed we all took about a 40% hit. Of course, AP is weighted contributed, so maybe that is where the difference is. Hopefully this won't be so bad.

Also, if you fold your BB, do you still get MGR for the hand? I hope so...

I guess we'll see. I moved to UB because of their rakeback (now reduced)and bonuses (now reduced as well). I would be really pissed if i was a US player because they are taking an even bigger hit than others.

Bonuses reduced? Do you just mean size and/or frequency, or have they changed the clearing terms?

Ah, yes...I was hoping that's what you were alluding too, and not some other changes. Since AP changed their clearance terms a couple of months back, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop over at UB. Glad to hear it hasn't yet.

don't they also deduct more of your bonus from your MGR than they used to?
