PARTY POKER : VIPs Acceler-8 your bonuses

I need to earn 5040 points to receive a 230$ bonus. This roughly translates to 3600 raked hands @ 10/20 (silver member) right?

How many non-raked hands does that translate to? 7k? 6k?

I don't know the answer to that "non-raked hands" question (as I assume you are really looking for a number of "dealt hands"), but just a reminder that at 10/20, all hands that *do* reach the flop are raked anyway.

But yeah, 27PP per 20 raked hands at Silver Level (18PP * 1.5 = 27PP) playing 10/20 means that you need 3740 (3733.33 exactly) raked hands.

I get this from:

27PP / 20rh = 1.35 ratio of PP per rh
5040 / 1.35 ratio = 3,733.33 rh

as always, in mathematics, validating the work: [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

3,740 rh = per 20rh (to get 27PP every 20rh) * 187 times
27PP * 187 times = 5,049 PP

Thanks dude. I've got some work to do I guess.

[MicroBob]

do you really think only about 50% of hands at 10/20 are getting raked?

[Escape]

Do you have the exact figures almighty MicroBob? I was thinking 70-80% and meant to type 5k/6k hands instead of 6k/7k.

I got $450 for 6415 points, which seems to be pretty good.

Question: Does anybody know when they plan on paying these bonuses out? Weekly? Or do we have to wait 3 mos for one lump sum?

Over my last 30k or so at 5/10 6max, 72.9% of hands were raked, if I figured it correctly last night.

this is consistent with my experience there.

tighter games though because of all the VIP'ers madly getting their points.
So you might fall down to the 65-70% range.

For 10/20 6-max I think it's a little bit higher than 72 but not by much.
My guess would be 75 or so....perhaps 80.

But it's just a guess....and, again, the tightening of the games could have an effect on these numbers.
