When BBJ is +EV, Play BBJ or Rakeback?

KCheng · #1 08-07-2005, 01:29 PM

I was clearing Party's BONUSAUG recently, and luckily the BBJ was at +EV levels for 2/4 (according to http://bonuswhores.com/party-poker.php). This brought a question to my mind.

I, like many others I'm sure, have rakeback on Empire. Which is a better choice? BBJ when +EV or Rakeback? Obviously, the rakeback is guaranteed money, and the BBJ is a long shot, but is one more worth it? I'm pretty confident it's rakeback, but what would/do you guys do?

Edit: Broken link. Fixed, hopefully.

Depends on:

A. Math- How much over the +ev/-ev line it is.

B. Your mood; it is nice every once in awhile to go for a big score.

Let's take the past few days or so as an example. It was a little over (ranging from 7K-27K) over the +EV limit (about 193K for 2/4). What do you guys usually set as your personal +EV line?

I was in the mood to win big, but then again I was sort of forced to play, since I was offered +EV, and I was clearing a Party bonus so I guess it couldn't have hurt to hit it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for your help!
