Is anyone actually planning to clear the Interpoker weekend reload?

[KSOT]

I was thinking about doing it, but 400 $1 raked hands there is like... 1500 hands of 1/2. That's a LOT of hands for only 2 days for only 30 dollars. I think I'm going to forget about it...

I don't know that site or the rake system, but I'm pretty sure 400 raked hands would be significantly fewer than 1500 hands.

Well, I'm assuming that the rake isn't > $1 too often, so yeah, it makes sense that probably 1 in 4 hands (give or take a couple) is raked at $1+, especially if the games are tight. Probably not worth the $30 bonus unless you are already playing there.

Its more worth it when they offer you 20 to come back plus 30 over the weekend plus 90 match bonus plus SSII and a friggin hat.

Im gonna be up all night though..

Don't forget that hands raked between $0.25 - $0.99 count 1/4. I would expect you need 800 dealt hands of 1/2 to get enough points for the bonus to clear. At the same time as you are clearing this, you are working off the 450 points you need for the $90 monthly bonus AND you are working off the raked hands for the hat and SS2.

That said, I weighed things and went back to the casino again. Ended up clearing $294.50 in an hour and a half...

It's not 400 raked hands. It's 400 hands raked $1 or more...but hands raked between 25 cents and 99 cents count 1/4, so the number of hands needed will be far fewer than 1500.

I have already cleared the monthly bonus at the casino...I did play Inter this weekend for the $20 come back bonus...I already have SS2 and could care less about a stinking hat.

800 hands for $30? I'll pass.

FWIW

[Yerma]

Yes, I'm clearing it as we speak b/c they offered me $20 for a single raked hand, the $90 for the month, and the $30 for the 400 this weekend...

Some people are saying you can get SS2 out of this as well...how?

Wrong.

I played 4 sessions of 1/2 full ring over the last 2 days, always sitting down at the table with the highest average pot size. Here are the numbers.

114 hands
6 hands raked $1
51 hands raked between .25 and .99
18.75 total raked hands

109 hands
10 hands raked $1
54 hands raked between .25 and .99
23.5 total raked hands

165 hands
9 hands raked $1
85 hands raked between .25 and .99
30.25 total raked hands

112 hands
5 hands raked $1
49 hands raked between .25 and .99
17.25 total raked hands

So that's 89.75 raked hands out of 500 played.

At that rate, you'd have to play 2229 hands to clear the bonus. Guess my estimate WAS off, just not the way you thought it was.

You should be clearing the Interpoker bonus at 2/4.

I played for a few hours this weekend, but got busy and couldn't complete the 400 hands raked $1 needed for the $30. I can't remember failing to complete a promotion. However, I did finish off the 700 hands needed for the hat and SS2, and I almost cleared August's bonus.

[GMan42]

Very simply...
If you're a 1/2 player, forget it.

If you play 2/4, waiting to clear the monthly bonus concurrently with the $30 promo (or pocket kings weekend, etc.), is great...this way you're pretty much guaranteed to find 3 or 4 full tables to play, plus the extra cash makes the whole thing clear approximately like a 7x Party bonus.

[HesseJam]

This is correct. It's only worth while at 2/4. Actually, it's quite good at 2/4.

By the way, one of the easiest ways to accumulate hands raked $1 or more is by playing full tables of PL Omaha 25. A large fraction of the pots reach $20.

It's also easy for a prepared novice to win at the table by nutpeddling.
