I just did a test and I can confirm that between last night and now things DID change....
It is now 0.50 and NOT 0.25, I did some research and on my 50k hands at absolute at 0.50/1.00 and 1.00/2.00 and the following is what I found....
(all data based on 6-Max Limit Holdem, with a rakeback deal of 27.5%)
At 0.50/1.00
0.25 = 45% of hands raked
0.50 = 11% of hands raked (wow, didn't think that it would be that low)
At 1/2
0.25 = 72% of hands raked
0.50 = 51% of hands raked (works out to 2.55BB/100
Rakeback at 0.50/1.00 is 1.18BB/100
Rakeback at 1.00/2.00 is 1.06BB/100
Looks like the bonus + rakeback is going to be:
@0.50/1.00 = 2.28BB/100
@1.00/2.00 = 3.61BB/100
At these rates I don't think that you want to play 0.50/1.00 at Absolute anymore. The 1.00/2.00 is going to be pretty good, but by no means a great deal. I think that you can get better deals if you are playing 1.00/2.00.
Enjoy my findings :-)
