You earn 1 pt on a hand with rake >= $1 and 0.5 pt on a hand with rake >= $0.50. So if your playing a level where you earn a full point each raked hand, its roughly equal to a 7x raked hands requirement -- could be closer to 10x depending on how many 0.5 pt hands you have.

I have a $200 deposit bonus needing 1400 points to clear before I can start working on the Superbowl bonus. I played $1/2 last night and in 90 hands got 30 pts so I was only averaging about 0.33 points per hand (this would be roughly a 21x raked hand equivalent).

Obviously this was a small sample of hands, but I'm curious to know if people have found the bonus clearable in a reasonable time playing $1/2 or if you really need to play at least $2/4 to maximize the potential value of each hand.

Thanks.
