Assuming you are a solid player folding most hands, ideally you would like those pots to be raked to earn credit for the hand. Since many pots will not be raked it invariably means that many more hands will be required to clear the bonus. Of those many more hands, you will no doubt contest a few. So the question becomes do you wind up paying more rake clearing a bonus with this structure then you would in a structure like Party's?

Anyway, after TGC changed its bonus structure I've been looking at some other sites to see if they would be worth going for. Still thinking about TruePoker, but decided to go with Hollywood Poker for the time being. A little better bonus stucture but a lot more traffic.

That last point makes me wonder the most. Party has the largest amount of players (by far) and the best bonus offers. It just doesnt seem like the competition is even trying to challenge them or give players a reason to play anywhere else.
