ridiculous cake poker bonus

has anyone cleared the 500 one?the highest game you can find is a 1/2 which is still quite rare even when im mulitabling it clears at about a rate of a $5 an hour i dont know how they can expect you to clear it.and you would think the competition would be terrible but i play at tribeca and at 1/2 its far easier there.all in all i would say that there bonuses and gold cards promo is not nearlly to compensate for the lack of players.

Sometimes there is 2/4 or 3/6 and even the occasional 10/20 (thats over my head) running at night. I try to get people to get another 1/2 table running but apparently most are happy to plug away at one table. So instead of multi-tabling I multi-site...

Its a new site which haven`t done an official opening. Its clear that there are not thousands of players at this point. I saw 2/4 fixed and an 1/2 Nl table going there. And some microlimits.

the bonus releases in increments.
You don't have to clear the whole thing.

they could have a $10,000 bonus that you only get 10 days to clear and it wouldn't matter.
You could never clear the whole thing...but since it clear in increments you can just look at it as unlimited bonus,

I've actually cleared about $300 in bonuses there. It clears just like the Full Tilt bonus but it pays in $5 increments instead of $20.

We're also bumping the Bonus currently each time you add to it. So, when we run a Reload, if you take advantage of it, it adds the two bonuses together and then gives you 90 more days to clear it. Many folks who deposited day one are still keeping the bonus in the air.

This won't go on like this forever, but we also agree that until the traffic becomes heavier, we're going to err on the side of players when it comes to the bonuses. =)

Grummin,

Extending the bonus time is just another little example of how you guys have your stuff together.

So far the only thing that I have noticed that is not a "positive" about Cake, othe than the traffic, is that the sit-out time seems a bit short. If I take a smoke break and don't get back before my blinds post (which is usually the case), I get booted from the table when my blinds get to me the second time, even though I have "wait for BB" checked.

EVERYTHING else seems VERY SMOOTH.
