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)

Does Absolute have alot of games going on? Regular 2-4 3-6 5-10 NL games???

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).

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.

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.

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
