Someone with info about this?
I am wondering the same thing, hence my post in poker bonus questions.
I did phone interpoker and they told me that £0.15 and higher rake do count. Perhaps the same is true for Caribbean Sun, etc.
We'll see if they are correct...I am devoting the evening to playing £.25/£.50 on interpoker (so long as the drunken blokes are around at least -- 5 hrs now, 6.22bb/hr profit). | | Static Link |

I mean, they count a hand as raked (towards the $90 monthlybonus) if at least $0.25 rake is taken. But what if I play at a £0.5/1-table? Does it have to be £0.25 raked to count?

I'm pretty sure it's .25 units. So a £0.15 and £0.20 raked hand would not count. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Somescum at May 17, 2005, 1:45 pm | | Topic: Cryptos lower limits - whoring implications Forum: Bonus Whores | Damn, there are no nice games at $1/2 or £1/2 now. Stupid lower limits...
Anyone know how CarribeanSun counts hands now after the new limits were introduced? I just signed up for a rakeback-deal there (sorry BW, no affiliate-money this time, I'll make it up by signing betonbet later today) and they've given me $50 to play 250 raked hands for.
I guess it's the same definition as Interpoker have stated, but it would be nice to know. Also the $40 one gets for 500 hands is probably still only awarded for hands on 1/2, right? | | Static Link |

Sorry that you ahve not received your bonus this month. Our records also show that you have play 335 raked hands. Once again I must apologize as there are delays in bonuses entering accounts. If you still have not received your bonus by Monday evening could you contact us again.
I have not yet received the bonus, but I guess it'll be allright now. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: wyldchyld at May 15, 2005, 7:41 pm | | Topic: Cryptos lower limits - whoring implications Forum: Bonus Whores | I got my poker plex monthly bonus playing a little more than 300 hands at NL .50/$1 tables as usual. Haven't changed as far as I can tell.
For some reason I don't think they credited me for last month. I'm sure I played more than 300 hands there in April. I got an e-mail for May's bonus confirming the money added to my account. | | Static Link |

Anyone had similar problems? It's supposed to show up instantly right?
Are you sure they were raked .25 as they rake .05 per every 1.00 in the pot and pokertracker doesn't distinguish between a .05 raked hand or a 0.25 or higher raked hand.

| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at May 13, 2005, 11:46 am | | Topic: Cryptos lower limits - whoring implications Forum: Bonus Whores | A bit of a worrisome piece from the Pokerplex newsletter I received today, in the section about the new micro-limit tables:
Quote: And the best news?? Tables are available 24 hours a day offering endless play on limit tables from 0.25/0.50, and no limit and Pot Limit tables from 0.15/0.25. For bonus clearance, a raked hand is any hand where a rake of 0.25 units or more is generated.
The stakes may be low, but the rewards are sky high!!
So it looks like they MAY be moving to a true raked hand definition, like InterPoker, so the low limit tables can continue to earn bonuses if the pots get big enough. Bummer, but I figured it was bound to happen sooner or later. (Still - 300 raked for $50 is like a 6x bonus, certainly worthwhile, although even at Crypto $1/$2 you can hit dry patches with really tight tables.) | | Static Link |
| Posted by: HeelHo at May 13, 2005, 6:59 am | | Topic: Cryptos lower limits - whoring implications Forum: Bonus Whores | has anyone done pokerplex and cleared it any LIMIT games under 1/2?

This is called variance. It is very normal. The question is; what is your long term win rate. Your results should vary something like +100 to -85. The difference is your win rate. If you are only break even then the +100, -100 is correct.

| Posted by: TaggedYa at May 12, 2005, 11:41 pm | | Topic: Cryptos lower limits - whoring implications Forum: Bonus Whores | For a long time the GBP games at Cripto have been good because of the large number of European players who were outside their comfort zone and as a consequince played weak. AKo was a monster because you could push the weak players off there hands when you missed. This has now changed. The players who would rather a lower limit have it and for the short term that is a problem.
In the long run it is probably a good thing. It will allow the cripto network to grow as players can come in and learn the game at lower levels.
As to what level you can clear the bonuses at, that should be irrelevant to anyone who has benn doing the bounus in the past. If you could clear the bonus at 1/2 in the past you should still do so unless so many people drop down that you can't get a playable game at 1/2.

I have limited experience at this, but the Cryptos have run very hot and cold for me. A few weekends ago during evening hours GMT the $1/2 were pretty loose and the £1/2 tables were very loose. The weekend before they opened the micro-limit tables, at roughly the same time of day, I couldn't find any loose tables. This last weekend it was very tight. I'm guessing all the poor players moved to the micro-limits. One of these days I'm going to have to take some vacation and see what it's like playing mid-week during prime time in Britain.
I do rather wish they'd stop with the £5/hour bonuses. As much as I like being paid by the hour to play, it's SO frustrating when you're chasing a X hands bonus and you run into someone who has no confidence in their game who is chasing the hourly bonus.

Maybe not at the tables you've clicked on, but I've found plenty. The Cryptos are a license to print money for me...

It appears as if the monthly bonus at Poker Plex is good for the smaller limits.

Has to be $5 to rake 25c, which would be 20bb at the 15c/25c NL tables.
average pots on Cryptos this morning EST (mid-afternoon in europe) are ranging from $8 all the way to $15. very loose and aggressive action in the early goings for both micro LHE and NL. it's like Pacific now, and you can multitable too. | | Static Link |

Just got the following in email:
In order to clear your monthly $90 bonus in the poker room you will need to wager eight ( 8 ) times the bonus in raked hands.
For the purposes of a bonus a raked hand is a hand in which you are dealt cards and a rake of 25c or more is taken from the pot.

| Posted by: windbreaker at May 7, 2005, 12:12 am | | Topic: Cryptos lower limits - whoring implications Forum: Bonus Whores | For the cryptos we could set up tests to see if any of the bonuses can be cleared at the lower limit tables.
So far it looks like all the hourly bonuses still require limit $1/2 or NL/PL $0.5/1.
For Caribbean Sun - it's stated the same - but it also says it's raked not dealt hands.
Interpoker - Been mentioned here that it requires a rake of a $0.25 on any table.
PokerPlex - No info seems to be available.
Classic Poker - Initial sign up - no info.
For people using crypto counter/poker tracker and are close to the hand requirements for the Interpoker/Caribbean Sun/Poker Plex bonus, when you approach the number that sets the bonus off at the normal 1/2 limit or 0.5/1 NL/PL tables. Sit out before the hand approaches and move to the lower limit and see if the bonus is given after one round. | | Static Link |
