Wow. I believe it though. When I tried to max out my rakeback playing 4 tables at once I found myself roughly a breakeven player after rakeback, or worse. When I play one or two tables and I pay decent attention, I win before rakeback. That's something I like, actually. I can earn a decent living playing something more akin to 'real' poker. Repetitive stress injury (carpal tunnel and other variations) means that I can't multi-table for a lot of hours anyway.

This has probably been discussed before, but at the lowest limits wouldn't it be worth losing on purpose with AA?

I'm not suggesting you should abuse the promotion cos on top of the 100% rakeback it's a sweet bonus and that would just be taking the piss but at 1/2 fixed raising pf and winning the blinds would be silly. There must be an awful lot of limping in with AA, even behind limpers.

Yes, open-limping/slow-playing AA becomes common during Aces Never Lose. Makes for some interesting dynamics at times.

[justin]

does open limping aa violate the terms of aces never lose? isnt there something where it says you cant intentionally try to misplay hand?

[Benjamin]

No, open-limping and slow-playing do not violate the terms, as they are tactics that people do sometimes use in absence of the bonus. I don't know what it would take, but a team of people playing the same table to purposefully crack aces and cash the bonus would be in clear violation.
