Absolute Raked Hands
Can't find this listed anywhere and I tried searching here...
Do you have to contribute to the hand in order for it to be counted or is it like Party, as long as the hand gets raked it counts? Thanks! |
Re: Absolute Raked Hands
It is like party, at absolute the rake has to be higher than .25 to count (they have microlimits and party does not)

Re: Absolute Raked Hands

Re: Absolute Raked Hands
For those of you who have cleared the bonus, how often does the minimum .25 rake get taken on the .25/.50, .5/1 and .25 NL tables? Whenever I look on there, it seems like most of the time the average pot is over $5 for all three of those stakes, but it seems like it can vary.

Re: Absolute Raked Hands
When I cleared some bonus $$ at the .25/.50 limit, I'd say 1 in 3 hands was raked. It was a slow process at that limit, but it was within my BR and the games were very beatable (though tighter than other sites).

Re: Absolute Raked Hands
I pretty much only play there during the day so its non-peak hours, when things get slow at work. To complicate matters, in the stats section, the hands where you're not sitting out, but you're waiting for the blind to hit to start playing are counted in your stats (obviously not toward your raked hands requirement though) so that throughs the calculation off some.
It looks like its around 40% of hands are raked for bonus purposes at .5/1.00. Again this is non-peak hours, but on the other hand I move around on tables a lot to keep on higher average pot size tables. --Zetack. |
Re: Absolute Raked Hands
Absolute takes rake at only $5 in the pot to get the .25 unlike sites like Stars who take $1 on a $20 pot and you get 1 point towards your bonus clearing.
You get 1 point per raked hand though, no more, no less. The AP bonus isn't too bad though. 100 points = $10 bonus. So 10/100 is .10 cents /point. |
Re: Absolute Raked Hands
Dont forget the unmentionable there if it is not already too late. Absolute is one of the few sites that does not deduct your bonuses from your MGR

Re: Absolute Raked Hands
monthly generated rake
And yes, the unmentionable is nice to have there if you haven't signed up already. Peruse the classifieds here for good sites to sign up with. |

[/ QUOTE ] Although I heard something that seems to indicate that they operate on a fixed MGR...that a cerrtain set amount of rake is attributed to the MGR per raked hand no matter the limit or the actual amount of rake in the hand. Anybody know anything more about that? --Zetack |
Re: Absolute Raked Hands
do they allow 4-tabling?

[img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) has told me that Absolute will start counting it "properly" based somehow on your own play. Details are not known at this time. |
