pokerroom bonus

this is taking like forever to clear, and it does not come in bits, but in one piece at the end. It's been 3 weeks and I'm not even halfway through. I deposited $500 and played 1/2, and found myself on a downswing. Now I'm down to $300 and so I've switched to .5/1. My original plan was to clear this bonus, cash out and then I'd have some cash for Vegas in december, but the end is not in site.

It takes longer to clear, but the games are much softer due to the lack of tables full of bonus whores.

I'm going back to PR to finish the halloween reload this weekend (and next week). 1/2 at Prima is tough. I miss the soft games.

You get about .22 points for each hand at .5/1 and about twice that at 1/2.

is 6-max any faster?

I am playing 25 cent 25 cent pl omaha hl to clear the bonus but I thought the maximum rake is $3 but even pots of $50 only show a rake of 50 cents. Is this the maximum rake or does it not show the final total rake before reseting.
actually I am playing on checknraise but I assume it is the same since it is now a pokerroom skin.

It's listed under the window listing the players in the lobby.

"A maximum of $0.50 is taken from the pot as rake."

You really need to play 2/4 or higher for the Poker Room bonuses to clear at any reasonable rate. Choose rooms by pot size. You want the rooms closest to $20 or higher, if it hasn't changed. But it sounds like you aren't doing so hot at 1/2 so be careful. 6 max will be faster but more swingy, especially if you havn't played it before.

agreed than they are the quckest to clear next to pokerstars

At 2/4 it clears in excess of $8/hr/tbl full ring.

.44 points for each hand at 1/2, that seems like it wouldn't be bad, especially if playing 2 tables.

If a pot is raked .50 cents, and I was dealt cards but folded, would I earn points?

Yes. As long as you were dealt cards, you get points on any rake in that hand.

If you play 5 max, the bonus will clear *slightly* faster, but that's only because you're getting more hands/hour in. Also, your rakeback equivilant for those hands will be 50% of that at a full table because although your rake share is twice as much, you still only earn 0.7 points per raked dollar.

what about playing 1/1 NL...is it possible ? i'd rather not have to two-table....should i just cash out and go for the full tilt one? i want to do $100 NL and, ideally one-table....
