Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

So should everyone still stay tuned for the $700 match bonus or does that look like its not happening anymore?

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

Time limit to clear?

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

10 days.

This means if I cash out right now i'm ok, right? just not after the bonus actually starts, right?

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

seems that you have until the 19th (midnight) to cashout.

i can't understand why ANYONE would still play there when party has all the action tables, with the exact same software.

why only give 10 days to clear it? bye empire.

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

Id expect this sort of thing from multi, but 20x.
Common Empire!

Empire - why don't you just kill yourself and get it over with already?

Oh wait, that IS what you are trying to do, excuse me...

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

After doing the multi 10,000 for $500 I can tell you 20x sucks even worse than it sounds.

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

I will never do a 20 x bonus again at a party poker "skin". I'm still doing the 500 Multipoker bonus. I rather stop playing poker than do it again. Multitabling against other tight multitabling asses is just as boring as poker can be.

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

I'd do this one, but 10 days for 6000 raked hands is a little stiff. Multi's 20x bonuses are always 20-day bonuses.

If you are planning on clearing this at .50/1, as many microlimit whores will, realize that you'll have to play between 12,000(best) and 18,000(worst) hands in 10 days to clear this bonus.

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

I will just work out the bonus. Though the competition is really tough $300 are worth to fight for. It's only 600 rh per day. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

Well, if i wouldn't have fulltime job maybe i could then do this, but now i'm going to skip this. 600rh per day, huh..

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

I'm not going to bother. I gave them a chance with last week's $100 reload. I had hoped the number of players might go from 8,000 in the evening right after the party split to 12k to 15k once a bonus was in force that you weren't getting at Party.

I thought if that happened there might still be hope for the skins and the potential for a bloody bonus war that would be what Party deserved. Instead, nothing happened, still a little more than 8,000 is the peak I see at times I play on Empire.

I played a couple of sessions of 1/2 and 1/2 6 max and decided not to even bother trying to clear it. I took most of my money out of Empire (good news, two withdrawals, both have been same as always).

Exactly. I'm skipping this one and sending their CS(if they have such a thing) a little email. If it's going to be 20x(which I'm ok with) at least give me a month to do it.

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

20x, bull$$$$, that was enough to make me cashout my remaining stake in Empire.

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

20x is a bit harsh.
Just finnished the EB 200x10 that wasn't bad but there are more BW's than ever. I only saw maybe 3 genuine fish the whole time.

I'll do this bonus but not for a full $300

Even if you only do a $50 bonus that's 1,000 raked hands which is more likely 1,500 - 2,000 hands. Too steep for me. I think Empire just shot themselves.

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

The 18th. The bonus begins on 10/19 at 00:00:01.

Yeah probably 20x play through here in 7 days, time to write a nasty letter to CS

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

20X now? And they are trying to win back players?

They are fu*cking insane.

I am done there, I just cashed out all my money.

It's over for them.

I've never understood the tight time limits on Party bonuses. When I'm hurrying and mutitabling I play low limits and don't pay enough rake to cover the bonus. When I have plenty of time I play a higher limit and they make money from me.

They seem to regard their customers as the enemy. I don't understand their thinking. Do they think? I'm off to cash out now.

Did you actually think about this before you typed it? Minimum rake is .50. You have to play 6,000 raked hands to clear this bonus. Therefore, the hands you play are going to create at least $3,000 for Empire. So, if EVERY PLAYER AT THE TABLE is clearing bonus in every raked hand you play AND the rake only reaches the minimum level on each of those hands this is EV-neutral for Empire.

rake at NL is 5c per 1.00 and starts at 1.00

Re: EMPIRE 100% to $300 10x 300MATCH
 

You guys crack me up. Two categories:

Spoiled children: "I can't believe they actually expect me to play 20x raked hands in 10 days to clear this! F*** Empire, I'm cashing all my money out, now!"

Chicken Littles: "Yep, this is the end for Empire. They aren't going to have any customers left after an offer like this."

Who remembers the first time that Empire/Party told us we'd have to play 10x hands instead of 7x? And that we'd have 7 days to clear it instead of 14? And that you can't cash out within 14 days before the bonus starts (oh, wait, that's gone, now)? With each of these changes people were screaming, and threatening to never play there again. And the next time around, those same people accepted the same bonus. Because you're all whores, get over yourselves.

As for the predicted death of Empire, c'mon, seriously? The past year or so all the skins were testing the market, framing their bonii to see just how far they could push, to make as much money for themselves as possible, which is their mission, after all. Now there's been a major market upheaval, and they have to redefine what they can do. When was the last time Empire or any of the skins offered 2 bonii in the same half-month? Everyone played the first one, I doubt many will play this one, and next month Empire will come back with something like 50% up to $100 at 13x and 15 days to clear it and you'll all be drooling over it. Again, because you're whores, get over yourselves.

(Just a reminder: everybody remember the crap-ass "bonus" offers that Party made right before the schism, and how angry everyone was? And now, a full 3 weeks later, you can find 7 places in this thread where people are talking about how wonderful Party is. I've changed my mind; you're whores with the attention spans of fruit flies on meth. Get over yourselves.)

Since he said low limits, I assumed he was playing LHE...me and my myopic limit world. I wonder how much of the clientele is made up of limit vs. no-limit players...of course, I'm sure that's part of what they're trying to figure out, too.

WTF is your problem? Do bonuses cut into your affiliate kickbacks?

All people are saying is theres no reason to play a 20X bonus for $300 when you can play a 10X for $600 elsewhere.

LOL. No, not at all, I'm just pointing out that each time one of these changes comes up, everybody gets their panties all in a bunch, and a month later they don't care any more.

And, that's not all they're saying. They're also saying that they can't believe that Empire would be so rude as to do something like this, that they're never going to play at Empire again, and that this is going to cause Empire to go out of business. I'm pointing out that, with the possible exception of the first point (because I can't really gauge the personal reaction engendered by such an offer), none of this is true.

Not for nothing, and certainly not to question your analytical skills, but if I were an affiliate and bonii were cutting into my kickbacks, wouldn't I be on board with you arguing against the bonii?

And, just to clarify, I'm not going to play this bonus, either...20x hands is ridiculous, especially for micro-limit players who are going to have to play closer to 40-60x to clear it. Everybody's reaction to it still makes me laugh, though.

Problem is, I have to fight my way through all the people lined up outside my house throwing cash at me when I come in, before I can even get to my computer to try and clear these. And those quarters and half-dollars HURT...they used to throw paper-money, but then realized that the wind was blowing it all down to the white-trash em-effer that lives next door.
