Topic: NL earning rates Forum: Bonus Whores
through about 32K hands, i'm at 16.3 BB / 100 hands at mostly $1 / $2 and $2 / $4 NL

$3 / $6, i'm at 4.3 BB / 100 hands (a lot fewer hands)

$5 / $10 NL (only about 1500 hands played) i'm at 3.7BB / 100 hands


i know that the higher limits are not at all statistically significnat, but, i'm pretty sure i could keep up those win rates at the lower NL tables (especially poker stars, boy do i love poker stars)

i posted something similar to this to see how well the pros in the place do at various levels (just to gauge how much i need to improve my play to get there)

I'm clearing the poker bonus right now. So far, so good, I've picked up $20 for initial deposit bonus, $20 after about 30 raked hands (not sure why I got it at 30 instead of 100), and $20 after 400 raked hands. Still working on the last 400 raked hands.

And as previous posters have noted, the games are really soft.

Topic: Rake for different levels at popular sites? Forum: Bonus Whores
Does the quality of the players have any effect on the rake?

It seems like a site with tight players would have less rake. If there are a lot of hands that do not see a flop and no rake is taken, could that mess up the result of a study like that?

IF 8 players are seeing a flop and the rake is getting capped each hand..wouldn't that make the rake more for each player?

I'm just wondering.

Edit:

$5/$10 Full Ring rake comparison
Code:
Absolute $19.24 per 100 hands, 2.99% of the pot, 2k hands
Party $19.87 per 100 hands, 2.71% of the pot, 26k hands
PokerRoom(new) $21.40 per 100 hands, 2.88% of the pot, 16k hands
PokerStars $22.59 per 100 hands, 2.50% of the pot, 8k hands
Crypto $22.66 per 100 hands, 3.18% of the pot, 1k hands
Paradise $22.86 per 100 hands, 2.84% of the pot, 1k hands

Topic: KK vs AA on Poker Stars - out of line? Forum: Bonus Whores
If you are on a full 10 seat ring and hold KK, AA will appear 4% of the hands. Out of 100 KK hands, you should see an average of 4 AA hands. 11 AA hands out of 100 KK hands is significant and not easily explained as bad luck.

For what it is worth. I had 21 KK hands on poker stars in my PT database. None of them were vs AA unless the aces folded prior to showdown.

I found this on another poker forum:
" Raked Hands are hands played on real money tables only and where Stan's Poker receives a commission."

If this is true, it means that you have to play many many more hands than 5x.

Topic: BB rates Forum: Bonus Whores
I was using Poker Edge and getting an idea of what players with MANY hands have.

I had about 30 players with over 20,000 hands played and their average was .55BB/100.

GOOD players are 2BB/100 very very few were (actually only 1) over 2.5BB/100 Which means if you are playing 60 hands per hour it's 1.4ishBB/hour.

SO - if you are going at 2BB/hour you are doing GREAT,

In one study at 2+2 they were taking hands from all GOOD players 1.4BB/100 or above.

THUS. 2BB/Hour would be outstanding in the long run.

Just to give you a basic idea of what you can do.

I had 8000 hands in .5/1 and was winning at 7.8BB/100 when I moved up in 1/2 I'm 1.91BB/100 with 40,000 hands and 2.19BB/100 in 2/4 with 30,000 hands and 1.93BB/100 in 3/6 with 6000 hands.

Topic: Build a bankroll from scratch Forum: Bonus Whores
3 months ago I started with the free money no deposit offers from pokerooms like

crazypoker ($10); superior poker ($5); royal vegas poker ($10); poker 333 (16); pleasure pan palace ($10); colosseum poker ($10).

You have to play a ceratin number of raked hands, usually 100 hands with a minimum rake of .25, to cash out.

You will go broke on most of these sites, but if you can get one up to $30 or hopefully $50, you can start some bonuses on big dollar poker and wild jack poker, then golden riviera, etc.

So, 3 months ago my bankroll was $0.00, and now it is over $2000 thanks to winning poker and bonus whoring.

Topic: Noble Poker Anyone? Forum: Bonus Whores
i played at clubdicepoker (member of the playtech i-poker network aswell) and from my experience i can tell you that it is 10x raked hands per $1 in bonus money...further, there is no way to track your raked hands but to ask support and i believe they are not contributed raked hands, just raked hands...

now comes the downside, they software is downright terrible - it has huge gaps before each persons turn for some reason and you'll be lucky to get 25-30 hands in an hour...further, game selection is poor off-peak and sometimes during peak

however, on the upside the games are unbelievably soft (as seems to be the way with these poker rooms tied to casinos) and i'd say that noble poker is worth a shot if you're really running dry on other bonuses

Topic: Poker Plex runs on GMT, right? Forum: Bonus Whores
I played 357 hands since 0100 GMT, and have not been credited with the bonus. When I reviewed the hands in Poker Tracker, I noted that many were stamped 28 FEB. Is Poker Plex using my time (EST) or their time (GMT) to calculate start time for the new month?

Or (oh God, why am I even bringing this up again?) have they finally figured out how to count raked hands vice dealt hands?

Topic: Wow.. how the fvuk do you get out of a poker slump? Forum: Bonus Whores
One thing I've always thought I'd like to see in poker tracker / poker ace is an analysis of your "luck" - that is a running average of the quality of the hole cards you are getting dealt over time, fold or play. Like say if I had been dealt 72o every hand for 100 hands my "luck value" would be 0 for 100 hands. If I had been dealt AA for 100 hands straight my luck value would be 100/100.

Not that this really helps in this situation, and of course it doesnt measure post flop "luck" at all - but I've always been curious about having a number value like that - it seems like it would be nice sometimes to compare that number for the last 100 hands compared to your performance at that table for the last 100 hands.

Anyone ever see anyone talk about something like that? Or do it? I know the data is all there in poker tracker in theory, but I'm most likely far too lazy to do something like that myself. I also don't know if it'd actually be a useful indicator.

Topic: The Wizard puts his seal of approval on CLOCKMEDIA software Forum: Winner Online

It's more likely to get 50 losing hands in a row in blackjack than in ideo poker.

However, even taking into account the number of hands being generated and the number of players...and there weren't many other players, because it was a new site...the odds were higher that the player be hit by an asteroid than get 50 losing hands in a row.

Roughly, the odds of getting a losing hand in ideo poker is about 50%. So, in one hand, it's 50%. Two hands in a row is 25%. Three hands in a row is 12.5% Four hands is 6.25% Five hands is 3.125% Six hands in a row is 1.5625%

Fifty hands in a row is a alue of 1/2 to the 50th power.

Now, were we to take the results of all the players to play on this site, for say, 100 years, sure, it might come up. But shortly after the site has opened?

Not impossible. But, it's also not impossible that the I be struck by lightning at this er

Turn your default settings to "Auto Muck" so that you can resist the temptation to show any hands. Showing hands only allows others to see how we play certain hands. In online poker putting someone on a range of hands is one of the most important traits of the succesful poker player.

You will give up betting strategy tells if you don't muck. Guaranteed.

Hey all,

Just to let you know via the "Share the Information Act"

I deposited at Classic Poker, played 500 raked* hands, and the bonus cleared automatically. As cool as the other side of the pillow.

* This crypto site's hands are indeed "raked hands" Usually, I play the 300 hands and am done. This time it took about 625 hands to reach 500 raked hands.

yea it allows you to actually play poker after the flop instead of playing flop poker. I don't mind letting hands like KQ and KJ see the flop when I have AK or better. I mean isn't that what we basically want, hands coming in that we have totally dominated?

everyone always talks about getting those hands to fold but why on earth would we want that? I want KQ to follow me all the way down to the river, hell they are drawing ery slim and if they hit then oh well, we basically are controlling the size of the pot so I doubt we will be going bust with TPTK but we are getting alue all the way down.

Poker Master: Then, listen and learn for strategy is the key to winning. You must know a bad strategy before you know a good one. One bad poker strategy is to play too many hands. You will win more by folding more often. This sort of discipline is difficult for the novice poker player. The true expert poker players always recommend patience and discipline, and you'll be surprised after watching them in tournament play (not on TV)just how many hands they throw away.

If this is the case, my days of whoring interpoker may be over.

5 hands = $1 on InterPoker

6.25 hands = $1 on Caribbean Sun

6 hands = $1 on Poker Plex

True, IP only counts raked hands, but since the hands per bonus dollar requirement is 20% to 25% less than the others, it is not that much out of line here. On a loose table (80%+ raked hands); you actually clear the bonus faster.

In the OP, Andrew said he had 223 raked hands out of 305. Well 223 raked hands is equal to $45 at IP (this is not so bad).

TV poker has been great for how many new people play but dilutes the quality of play with all learning players. This forum would be alot smaller if TV did not get so many interested in poker and people who want to get better.

Exactly! That is why I like Poker After Dark so much. Because they show a lot more hands as opposed to the few hands you see 8,000 people playing at the WSOP.

Hi Whores,

Just checked out City Poker, which is a Prima Skin. They have a 25% up to $100 bonus, requires 100 raked hands to clear (I imagine Prima definition of raked hands). The actual terms are: earn 1000 poker points, and you earn 10 poker points for every raked hands, ergo 100 raked hands.

No mention about having a previous Prima account either.

Topic: Roxy Signup Bonus Forum: Bonus Whores
Just checking to see if I'm interpreting this correctly:

From their page http://www.roxypoker.com/signup-bonus.aspx

If I deposit $100 to get the max $25 bonus, I have to play 10x raked hands to get the bonus (released $10 for every 100 raked hands) from my bonus account to my poker account. (250 hands for $25 bonus)

To then be able to then withdraw the money from my poker account I have to play 6x raked hands for the deposit and bonus amount, so 750 more raked hands.

So this is really a 40x raked hands requirement?

The other unclear part on their page is the time limit. Does the 7 day limit apply to just releasing the bonus to your poker account or also to making it withdrawable?

I'm still doing them and still consider them the best. Between last night and this afternoon I finished it up in about 6-7 hours. Picked up a little extra poker profit in there too and just cashed out. The whole cycle in less than a day. It's definitely good stuff.

Also, the Party Poker skin seems to be the only one that increased the amount of hands needed. The Intertops reload was still 5 hands for a dollar...Empire actually might have been 7 hands per dollar. Still I think its pretty good. As long as it's 1000 hands or less, I'm definitely in.

Colosseum Poker - $100 for 500 raked hands ($500 deposit)
Bet Hold'em - $100 for 500 raked hands. ($500 deposit and you must call them to claim the bonus)

The payout is not too far away from the espected alue, usually I'd espect such a deviation in 200 hands, not 740 hands.
This software is ery ery streaky, I've seen winning hands after winning hands, or keep loosing nonstop such as 40 hands show up with nothing. It's more like a slot machine to me rather than a VP game.

Topic: What's the best thing to do to break a bad luck streak? Forum: Card Chat

Agree! take a break ...even sit out in the tourney and go for a smoke.

Also try to get poker tracker etc saves you all the writing down and lets you concentrate on the game. Review the play your opponents make and see if they have any reads (telegraphing their hands) that you are missing.

If you can peg the type of player ie LAG etc it also helps as you can put them on a range of hands and adjust your play accordingly.

I play a lot of SNG's (low stakes) and with certain regular players. Using poker tracker I waded through the info and have pegged most of them on the hands they play and their bet amounts(took me two days..during which I didnt play any poker). Needless to say they are convinced I can see their hands . The one guy will not even sit at the same table as me anymore....and he is one of the more solid players...LOL. This doesnt always work of cos but its a big help.

All the best out there on the felt!!!!

Topic: Good BB/100 hands number Forum: Card Chat

BB = Big Bets which = 2*Big Blind (concept taken from limit poker I think).

So if you play $0.05/$0.10, 10 BB/100 hands is 10*$0.20 = $2 per hundred hands.

If you want to calculate it yourself, take your profit, divide it by however many hundred hands, that equals profit per hundred hands. Now divide this by the Big Bet (twice the BB). So say you've played 500 hands and made $25 at $0.05/$0.10. That's $5 per hundred hands (25/5), and 5/.2 = 25 BB/100 hands.

Good to know. Thanks for posting this. I'll stick with the 5Stud.

Just to recap, to clear the reload bonuses (is there a new one this week?) it's 100 contributed raked hands of .25/.50 or higher.

<Raises hand>...me...me...pick me...

Looking at my PokerPattern for the last 90,000 hands, I can see the tops and bottoms of all of my swings:
Code: Hands      1 -  9,800: +440 BB
Hands  9,801 - 28,000: -545BB
Hands 28,001 - 58,000: +633BB
Hands 58,001 - 82,000: -350BB
Hands 82,001 - today:  +260BB

I'm positive that I have no idea what kind of player I am...Just that I'm currently up 438BB over 90,000 hands...

The latest upswing is after taking a week off from poker to review my game. I found the obvious leaks (QTo no good)...the less obvious ones I'm still trying to find...

Topic: tridentpoker (prima) Forum: Bonus Whores
Hello! I don't know if I'm telling anything new in this post, but I have done some research about Microgaming network (Prima). I currently play/whore at levels 25NL and 50NL. The only reasonable bonus system at Prima for my level is a 10x raked hand scheme. I have looked into terms and conditions of every Prima site bonus after playing Poker Host promotion: 100% up to 2000$, where I deposited 500$. The clearance rate for my ~20% PF basic game was: 4-tabling (2 full-ring, 2 short-handed) was 50 r.h. per hour at 20NL and 100+ r.h. at 50NL. Playing 4-5 hours a day I got 250-500 r.h. per day. So for 500$ bonus 10 days at 50NL should do it.

I hope I didn't make it too complicated. Now here's a LIST of Prima sites with the same clearance terms(10x raked hands per 1 bonus$, non-contributed):

-Golden Tiger 50% -> 200$ (2000 raked hands)
-Captain Cook's poker 50% -> 200$ (2000 raked hands)
-Aztec Riches 50% -> 200$ (2000 raked hands)
-Virtual City Poker 50% -> 200$ (2...
