Vegas Poker after AP Updates

MegaFossil · #1 08-24-2007, 01:07 PM

I'm an American player with rakeback on an AP account, but I'm considering a change to VegasPoker247 b/c of a few differences I've heard. For one, I believe VP doesn't deduct bonuses from MGR whereas AP does. I know VP has the $500 initial signup bonus, but do they have the other reloads that AP usually does about every week? Does VP use dealt or contributed method like AP for MGR? Also, I believe AP now deducts transaction fees from MGR whether you deposit or not. Bottom line: is there enough extra incentive for an American player to switch to VP if they have the chance based on current conditions, or are they basically the same as AP?

Thanks for any help.

I was thinking of trying out VP too but apparently they don't have the BBJ tables available. Now at first that may sound great, but it means they'd have a grand total 5 1/2NL tables going at 4:30pm EST on a Friday afternoon, not good. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

BBJ tables are only on AP.

Wow you're right morph, there is 1 NL600 table going and 0 NL400 tables. Even NL50 and NL100 have a very limited selection, all because of AP's damn BBJ for every single table. So much for that idea I guess.

BTW, that AP BBJ rake is just awful for lower limit NLHE players. At NL50 you end up paying ~5.8% ave. rake per pot. That's beyond atrocious for online poker.
