How soft is their game compared to PP and how easy is it to clear the bonus? They have a 100% deposit bonus at the moment.

they have ALWAYS had a 100% deposit bonus, and it has ALWAYS sucked.

It's seriously the worst bonus, which sucks because I really love the software and the competition is soft as hell.

It doesn't suck if you play 5/10 and above (or maybe 3/6). I play a mix of 3/6 and 5/10 depending on which games are good, and Full Tilt is next on my list of bonuses to hit.

Yeah always nice to sit down and play against soft competition like: Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, John Juanda, Jennifer Harman, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Clonie Gowen, Andy Bloch and Allen Cunningham. Easy money baby! And the bonus is like totally awesome! After dropping thousands to this Ivey fella I cleared $4.10 in bonus.

well..if that's the case, I do not see how bonuses are worth your time...wouldn't you be much MUCH better off with rakeback at 5/10??

Let me see if my math is right.

Full Tilt:
$600 = 9960 full tilt points
Assume 2 pts. earned per raked hand on average
4980 raked hands required to clear bonus
$600/(4980/100) = $12/100 raked hands

Rakeback: (assume my 28% deal at Eurobet)
Average rake per raked hand: $2.16
($2.16)/9.48 players = 22.8 cents/raked hand
.228*0.28 = 6.4 cents per raked hand goes back to me
So for 100 raked hands, that's $6.40/100 raked hands.

There's a good chance my math is wrong since I'm tired and should have gone to bed a couple hours ago. So I'll come back in the morning and double check this.

But a more simple answer is I've never played at Full Tilt before, and want to give it a shot. I can knock out 1000 raked hands a day 4-tabling, so I think I can take a 5 day break to clear the bonus.

This bonus is so bad Phil Ivey is still trying to clear it.
