Next stop on bonus whoring train?



Posted Mon Nov 20, 2006 3:05 pm GMT by khaosanroad
I should clear my bonus on UB this week. My next stop for a 100% bonus is either Full tilt or Absolute, but not sure which site is easier to clear the bonus. I'm currently playing 10NL. After I clear the next bonus I will have the BR for 25NL to make the 3rd site easier.


So those of you who have played Full tilt and Absolute, which should be easier to clear bonus at 10NL?

AP offers stackable bonus + rakeback, so I would go there. Don't know much about full tilt.

Clearing a bonus on AP at 10NL will be almost impossible. The bonus clears at $10 for every 100 reward points (RP). The minimum rake for the hand to qualify for one RP is .50, and you need a $10 pot to get that much raked.

The bonus is a little tough to clear at anything less than $1/$2 FL. I've played some $20NL, and that seems like it would take forever as well.

All that being said, I like AP.

At Full Tilt, every dollar raked gives you 1 FTP. 1 FTP = $0.06. So, if you deposit $600 to get the max bonus (100%, $600 max), it takes 10K FTP, therefore $10K raked.

10K at NL10, it should take you approximately 12 years. Laughing Laughing

Nah, it's not so bad. You have 4 months to clear it, but it's only once you get to NL50 it'll be alot easier. You can easily get a few hundreds FTPs a day, it you play a decent amount of time.

TR1888 can probably testify on this.

I was just observing some 10NL tables at Fulltilt and it looked like they were raking 10% which I have never seen before. Full tilt credits partial points for rakes under a dollar so it might not be so bad, but a 10% rake seems steep.

The 25NL tables were at 5%, but 10% at 10NL.
