Default Re: Tiger Gaming bonus clearance?

it's proportional contributed rake, so whatever percentage of the money in the pot is your money is the same percentage of rake that gets credited towards your POP points bonus.

for example, if you're playing $1/2 LHE and you limp in middle position, call a bet on the flop, fold the turn and the pot ends up $21 and raked $1, then your share of $3 out of $21 is about 14%, and so you are attributed about 14 cents of the $1 rake, or 1.4 POP. you would also get a small amount of points for folding the small or big blind, even without seeing the flop.

under normal playing conditions, I found proportional rake and non-proportional rake to be roughly the same. you may get less or no points on hands that you fold, but more on hands that you reach showdown and/or win outright.

on Action Poker network where Tiger Gaming is based, there are usually about 4-5 tables open at each of the low fixed limits. however, all the tables are generally very soft, and very beatable in the long run.

the bonus however, won't be very fast to clear since they only give you back 80% or less of the rake you contribute to them in the process.
