Default Looking for ANOTHER rakeback site to supplement Absolute!

Ok so i'll out of school in january so i decided to play poker FULL time (100k hands a month) instead of what i am currently doing (25k hands a month).

Just going through some quick math here. I'm willing to dedicate roughly 4 hours a day to playing poker. I've been looking at the absolute poker tables and they average roughly 75-80 hands an hour. Now, the Absolute software doesn't allow for more than 6 tables at a time (i emailed them about this and hopefully they will fix it). So 4 hours a day at 75-80 hands per hour for 6 tables = 1860 hands per day = 55.8k hands per month. Gross. I want to be playing DOUBLE that but i'm not willing to put in 8 hours a day. So, i'm going to sign up at ANOTHER site and 6 table it as well, so i can be twelve tabling (6 absolute, 6 somewhere else) and reach my 100k hands a month quota.

I already have the dual monitors (24" dells omg so sick) so thats not a problem. I play 2-4$ BB NL and i'm looking to move up to 5-10$ BB NL in the next few months. I love the deepstacks at Absolute (you can buying for $800 at the 2-4 NL BB), so thats favourable as well.

Right now i'm getting 30% at absolute plus bonuses plus vip points, plus free entry into the 100k guarenteed every month, which works out roughly to a sickening 60% rakeback. Suggestions?

It seems that the only sites with any decent table selection at those limits are Full Tilt and Pokerstars.

1) How much were those monitors?
2) I would try and play 6 hours a day(4 is not enough)
3) You wont always play every day, there is this thing called "burnout", resulting in a couple days break, this is why you review Point #2.
4) I had read in another thread that you were expecting to get 12k/month in bonuses at AP, not true. They offer anywhere from 3500-4000 each month if you hit them ALL
5) If you intend to play a 2nd site, and need rakeback. I would go with FTP.

Ultimate Bet would be another choice where you can find a decent number of $2/4 tables and you can get 30% rakeback there versus the 27% cap at Full Tilt plus a slightly better deposit bonus at UB. Best of luck with the 100k hands per month goal...that will keep you busy [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
