I have done about 5 or 6 bonuses at empire and I too have noticed the player potsiee is always there and always on a lot of tables. I play at all hours and he/she/it is always on. Maybe you're on to something
I seen Potsiee loads too - eagle/313 hands/5.75 BB/100!

Was the wackiest bonus I have done at Empire, and was glad to get away with a modest play profit + bonus.
Now, back to that PPA thing.......

| Posted by: some random dude at January 9, 2006, 8:45 pm | | Topic: Empire reload Forum: Bonus Whores | wow, either the tables have loosened up since most whores finished their bonus already or i dont know what some of you are talking about. The NL25 6max tables are incredibly soft, not many maniacs but a lot of very passive players (both tight and loose).
I made ~$200 4 tabling for 2,5 hours. Out of ~880 hands ~550 were raked so i guess at 6max most of the .05 rh count. | | Static Link |

At Party/Empire you are correct. However at some other sites like Poker Room or Poker Stars, 2/4 is the way to go.

I really hate it there. The streaks are incredible. I'm currently down over $100 at the NL25 & NL50 tables. At the Crypto and PokerRoom networks I average +20BB/100 playing NL50 & NL100.
People play every hand like they have 22, I've seen people check/call with full houses! I can't get a read on anyone. I'd rather play with people who play every hand like AA.
250 more hands and I'm done! | | Static Link |

Correct. On another note, it seems to be very tight preflop, but the after that people chase like crazy. Very odd play there.

I was playing for the EP2006 bonus when I got the GET15 pop up. When I had finished the EP bonus I deposited $700 with the GET15 code but no bonus appeared in my account. Any idea what might be wrong?
I deposited for GET15 last night (after being offered), but I didn't get the bonus either. So I emailed them. When I woke up, it was there.
And I'm really loving the play at Empire. Tight. So I just take people's money with my whopping one bet raise from under the gun. Crazy.
Over the course of 1500 hands, I'm making 8BB/100 (not just from blind stealing, of course.) | | Static Link |

I made a few bucks while staying pretty conservative at the 25NL tables the raked hands certainly don't pile up as fast at Empire as PP and I tend to agree that it seemed like some 5c rakes at the 6 max counted and most didn't, all in all I'll take it. I do wish they had the Party style where I could squeeze 4 tables on my laptop and be nice and lazy in the evening while carving turkey. But I'm a greedy filthy slut.

| Posted by: Burt at January 3, 2006, 8:54 pm | | Topic: Empire reload Forum: Bonus Whores | Ive only been able to play about an hour and half. Total of 157 hands delt, 82 raked at full table 1/2 limit. So far Im not complaining, up 7.88 BB/100 for 24.75. I really think I like this type of play better than all the chasing at party. People will still call with second best hand. And an occasional steal with an early raise. I dont think I will have the time for 1300 hands, but will play as much as I can. Hopefully at least clear that damn $10 they were so kind as to give me.

This is incorrect. Empire is NOT contributed rake. You do not have to contribute to the pot for hands to count as raked. I have no idea where this poster got such an absurd idea.
Nick:
Empire uses the word contributed when describing their rake. you do not have to contribute to the pot to count as a raked hand but the rake must represent a 1 cent contribution per player delt in the hand. if only 5 players are delt into the hand a $1 pot counts as raked while at a full ring (10 player) the pot must reach $2.
they do some type of rounding, because 8 of my .05 rakes counted. There was never a time when only 5 people were delt. I they likely count .05s for 7 or 8 or less.
