How hard is a 100% $200 bonus to clear at .10-.25 6 max if I am 3 tabling?

A pot must reach at least $10.00 to count towards your bonus so it will probably be very hard to clear at those limits.I know it is near impossible to clear at .50/1.00 LHE.

.10/.25

well $10.00 = 1000 cents/25 = 40BB.

you wont very often get 40BB pots if ever so its uncleareable.

I play the $0.25/$0.50 NL 6 max games. I figured it out and at those limits, it takes about 4,000 hands to clear $100. That will go down if you go to higher limits, but you can base it off that.

Too hard to even bother with (IMO); because of the tightass nature at abs even at 10x the stakes it's a grind (but the unmentionable smoothes it over some)...

What planet do you people live on if you think AP is tight? Anyone who plays $2/4 or $3/6 6 max knows the players are perhaps the most aggressive on the net. AP's rep for tightness at those levels is undeserved.

Hi, I'm Mike and I'm from Earth.

Here on Earth our defintion of "tight" is numerous $1/2 6m tbls of 20-25/15+. Is every tbl like that all the time; didn't say that. But more often than you'd ever find at party or paradise or maybe even stars, abs ($1/2 6m) is T-I-G-H-T...

Unfortunately for your argument, NO ONE even mentioned the 2/4 or 3/6 shorthanded games. So why you decided to interject this I really don't know...

And you can't really argue with Absolute is tighter ON AVERAGE than other sites around the net. Also, tight does not mean unprofitable...

It's no PokerRoom. Now that's tight.

I disagree. The 6-max games at Absolute are no better than anywhere else, and marginally worse than Party or Stars in particular.

And having the most aggressive players doesn't necessarily make for the softest games. It does make for the highest variance, though.
