Poker Pirate, I have found that occasionally Poker Tracker will not pick up the very first hand you play at a table if you win it for some reason (especially if you post from the cutoff) I have found I can usually get pokertracker to "find it" if I email support for the hand history and load it from email. Hope that helps ya!

Anyway I figured the same would be true tomorrow round the same time so those who dont want total whore talbes might enjoy the change of pace as they try to manage the rest of b4 the deadline.

Just pay your little brother to sit there with 4 tables all day and fold every hand but AA......in that case have him click all in automatically preflop.
And KK come to think of it also provided there is no previous huge raise. [/quote]

| Posted by: Polish1C at February 23, 2006, 12:31 pm | | Topic: Empire $200 @40% Forum: Bonus Whores | | From what I have seen at PLO and PLO8 the people don't really catch on. I have seen people make a pot limit raise 50% of the time preflop and then make a pot limit raise on the flop and take the pot 75% of the time. One person did it for an hour and no one played back at him bluffing the entire time. They raised him when they had the nuts and he folded or the pot got checked out to the showdown. Since I play short stack when pounding out this kind of bonus multitabling I didn't have the risk reward ratio to start playing head games since the preflop cost was so high. At least a lot of the pots were getting raked, a blessing when there are seven or eight tight passive deepstacked nutpeddlers at the table. | | Static Link |

played 4 tables NL50 6max
~2800 hands for the 2000 raked
average pot: $9.2, ASF: 35.7%
total time ~7,5h
i found a healthy amount of maniacs, loose passives and tight passives | | Static Link |

3269 hands for 2000 raked = 61.1% raked
Tried 3 tabling for short stretches, but started doing badly so had to stop that non-sense. Total playing time of about 15 hours.
Actually won some money on top of bonus, can't complain. (unlike my B2B foray yesterday ) | | Static Link |

I guess you're too good to bitch if your AA gets slaughtered by any other cards 12/15 times when you get your money in with the best hand. Or your KK loses 9/11 times. You must play in the big game or something, is your last name Greenstein?
Sorry man, I can understand why you'd complain about a string of bad beats. Most of us have been there. It sucks ass. I wasn't really referring to you. No big game here. I play low limit NL holdem. If anything, people should be looking down on me..lol
I'm just thinking about how easy this bonus is to obtain compared to say, pokerroom. I finished the bonus in 4 days playing 25nl. Try clearing a $200 bonus at pokerroom at 25nl...or even 50nl. Maybe it's cuz I'm not playing fixed limit. I can see how a tight game would piss me off.

Confirms what I said - I started this late (only $150), and have only done 550 rakes so far - 1405 hands at .5/1 FL.
5390/2000 = 2.7 hands/rake @ NL $25
1405/550 = 2.6 hands/rake @ FL .5/1
Not taking hands/hr into consideration, so there is probably a premium there for NL. But not a lot on the tables I played.

I tried a bit of that tonight, and rakes/hr was not a great deal higher than .5/1 FL. Maybe I had bad tables? All seem to be in the 25-40 rakes/hr area.

It is a great idea, why not pay all that rake and collude as well to clear the bonus? I wish I would have thought of that.
