Re: How does a Party skin 10x bonus compare to Absolute?
[ QUOTE ]
in terms of game quality and player softness, the games at Absolute are probably slightly better now than (what's remaining of) the Party skins network. I was working on some of the latest Empire reload and seen flop percentages have dropped at least 10% down to the mid-twenties, even at the lowest limits. Absolute is certainly not the loosest place either, but you can at least find 30%+ during peak hours.
in terms of percentage of hands raked (which affects how fast the bonuses clear), it depends on the limit and game type. micro NL players should probably stay on the skins, since a rake of 10c (and even 5c) will count, whereas Absolute still requires a minimum 25c rake. for fixed limits they're about the same, and Absolute's % rake structure is slightly more favorable. Absolute rakes "early" (25c of $5 pot even at $2/4) but they don't rake "high" like party does at 50c/$1 and $1/2 (50c of $5, and 75c of $12).
