Interpoker bonus and rakeback

jeffreyryann · #1 09-02-2006, 02:07 AM

I just deposited into IP about 3 days ago, and so far it still shows 0% on my bonus clear and I've got no RB yet. I deposited 200 and planned on playing 50c/1, but there's no full ring tables running for it so I'm playing 25/50, is that too low for the bonus or the RB?

The bonus clears at 1/2 limit or higher only, not No Limit.

You will still get rb but as stated above you need to be playing 1/2+. With it being a 5x now for any raked hand this bonus + rakeback combo is one of the best out there.

thanks much guys guess I'll have to play 1/2 with a really short roll [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] think I'd be better off going to party with no RB/crappy bonuses or just take the shot here? it's not like 200 bucks is gonna affect me much if I lose it but still eh, I'm thinking the RB + bonus would be smartest option even though it's over the amount I feel comfortable with 200 bucks

The combination here doesn't make sense.

1/2 limit tables are tight enough on Crypto sites that $200 should actually be plenty, at least for clearing the bonus.

I just blew through $200 on a couple of £1/£2 limit tables in 2 hours. There was some craziness going on though. And I suck.

sure it makes sense, I wanna clear the bonus with the 200, but if I lose it without it wont be too huge a deal but 200 is short for 1/2

Why would you play the pound tables? The max rake there is 3 pounds or around $5.

Why would you not play the pound tables if they offered a greater overall expectation (taking rake into account)?

The $200 was returned to me with interest in a later session fwiw. Keep seeing posts saying that the Cryptos have got really tight, wasn't seeing it yesterday on the 6 max limit tables though.
