Re: Absolute Rake is HUGE!
 

damn...i downloaded patches b and d....forgot c


I thought it was supposed to auto-update now

Re: Absolute Rake is HUGE!
 

ok...i fixed mine...make sure to download the latest patch from here linky

follow the instructions about exporting absolute hands loaded since 10/18, purging sessions, and reloading absolute hands.

The rake fell in 1/2 for me...down to 4.4% for .5/1 6max limit holdem and 3.75% for 1/2 6max. It turned out to be lower than the rake at equivalent party stakes...AWESOME

My bonus cleared is 90% of rake collected from me...AMAZING

Here's my stats for Absolute:

1/2 6-max 3.83%
2/4 4.30%
3/6 3.89%
5/10 2.79%

Strange, my 2/4 6 Max rake % is also higher than my 1/2 6 Max rake %.

4.25% @ 2/4
3.52% @ 1/2

In comparision, Poker Stars 2/4 6 max has 2.71% raked for me this month. Given the bonuses and rizzlebizzle at Absolute, I guess I'm ok with this extra rake.

It is a bug in PT. You need to go to the PT forum and get the beta download to fix it. Since it is a beta download it is found in the forum not where it is usually found on the front page.

To be fair to Pat it was not a bug. Absolute unexpectedly changed their HH format. He quickly released a patch to compensate but not everyone got it.

The effect is that uncalled bets are added to the rake instead of being credited back to the winning player.

Downloading the patch will protect future hands. To fix old hands you need to export the HH, purge the hands from the DB, and reload them.

I realized that as well pretty early on as i realized that pokertracker would have me down 40 bucks when i was up 30. I instantly went to pokertracker.com and saw that pat was on top of things.

Although, because of a misclick, i almost purged all of my eurobet hands for the last few days, luckily i was able to recover it.
