1. Right now I play on Absolute, but am wondering if this is the best bang for my buck. With 10 hours of playing per week one can clear $30 of their nearly weekly reload bonuses. Assuming 1bb/100 poker at .5/1 this equates to around a profit of $2000 per year ($30 in bonus and $10 in winnings X 52 weeks). Their rake is high at 5% but the bonuses make up for it.
2. PokerStars - they do not rake the .25/.5. I would guess this would be a significant savings over time. Would I be better suited to play at that level with the likely increased bb/100 winnings and no rake? I would have to win 8 bb/100 to equal Absolute's profits.
3. Paradise. Their games are apparantely very soft and with the GRANNY bonus from what I understand you get back 50% of your deposit similar to Absolute's ($10 per every 100 points). I personally do not like loose games due to the swings and this is why I'd be reluctant to play there.
4. Party Poker. Similar to Paradise, it is a fish farm supposedly and they have monthly reaload bonsues as well. There must be a reason PP is so popular.
