Default Aces cracked, win a rack.

At the Biloxi Grand in MS, they have rotating promotions. Sometimes you win a jacket for a royal flush. Sometimes you get a gold spinny card-marker for a straight-flush. But sometimes they have "Aces Cracked, Win a Rack".

If you have pocket aces and lose, they'll hand you $100. It's immediately in play. My question is, how would this effect your strategy?

Certainly you always want to slow-play rockets preflop. The more the merrier. Besides, that'll help you win the jackpot when you lose AND increase your profit when you win.

But the thing is, I think you might even want to slow-play the TURN. If somebody has bottom pair, they probably have 5 outs to beat you. If you're playing $4/$8, is the $8 bet really worth it?

They spread $4/$8 through $20/$40. They'll give you a rack regardless of limit, but it's always a rack of white. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Clearly you're less effected by the bonus when you're playing higher stakes.

Whatcha think?
