I think it's pretty similar to UB minus one or two donks. 1/2 FRLH will net you about $5/hr. Plus, they have aces never lose running often now. I'm thinking about moving most of my play there now. That rakeback really adds up fast. | | Static Link |

yes, i know about wpex, though i have yet to play there. how is the player base?
i think in the past, there were a slew of bonii that were far better than 100% if played correctly. now, its hard to even find a site that has a player base and offers a good bonus. im talking strictly usa players by the way. | | Static Link |

I play at $25NL - $100NL at both 6 handed and 10 handed tables. Im sure some bonuses like at Party Poker 10x are better than 100% rakeback at another site.
But if you go into Pokerroom, Pokerstars, Absolute, and many others...100% rakeback is probably better
at $50NL 1000 hands earns me about $50+ in rake at 100% rakeback. If I played at PS im not sure 50% would qualify for rake and thus maybe a 10x bonus would also be worth around $50 +/- at that same amount of hands.
Ah well, as a USA player 100% rakeback is realistically all I have left | | Static Link |

If you want to know what the rakeback equivalent of a raked hand bonus is you have to know the limit, because those types of bonuses are not based on rake (just raked hands).
Lets use an example. Let's say I'm a 1/2 player and you're a 100/200 player and we are both playing a Prima 10x raked hand bonus. The only requirement of a raked hand bonus at Prima is that $0.25 in rake has to be taken from the pot. Remember that for a 10x bonus that each raked hand is worth $0.10 ($1/10)
Now lets assume that each of us were dealt cards along with 9 other players and that the pot ended up being 6 BB.
In my 1/2 game, the pot ends up being $12 (6*2). That is good enough for a $0.50 rake. I've earned $0.10 in bonus. $0.05 of the rake can be attributed to me ($0.50/$0.10), so for this hand I have made the equivalent of... | | Read Entire Entry |

10x? 12x? 15x? 20x? more/less?
Are you referring to rake hand bonuses? It all depends on the clearance requirements (a 10x RH bonus clears much differently than a 10x bonus at Ongame) and the limits you play. | | Static Link |
