What to play for the Cryptologic Bonus

[imitation]

It takes 2.5hrs at 4-tables of SH for 450raked hands, the players are bad 24/7 at the SH tables, but then again so are most of the bonus whores at crypto....So many weak tighties playing above their BR.

i downloaded one of the counters but couldn't figure out how to get it to work.


no big deal though....I just have the hands auto-importing into ptracker so I can see how many total hands I have played and can make guesstimations on raked-hands from that.


the 6-max games ARE a gold-mine. awful awful players.
the brit-sterling tables have worse rake but generally worse palyers.


even the full-tables are better during the right hours.
if you play in american evenings it will be tighter.
during american afternoons (european evenings) they are looser.

Off topic, but the one I linked to is easy to figure out. You just replace "Interpoker" in the database with whatever poker room you're playing in, and enter your user name.

The one that's hard to figure out is the one Russ linked to.

Back on topic: I hate the crypto hold em games. Hugely profitable, but huge variance. Not my style on a limited bankroll to build. More optimal (for me anyways), were Omaha games when you could play tight and cherry pick the big hands. Most of the pots I won, I knew I was the winner before showdown. And they were usually about 15BB's.

To count raked hands:
Filter your play to the days you want to count and click on the Game Notes tab. Click the Get All button and then look at the last line of the first chart. The number on the right is TRH--> is the total raked hands for the time period you have selected.

It's not hard to figure out. You open your Hand History Log Viewer on the crypto site, enter the number of sessions for the month and it runs.

That counter sucks, Russ

There is a MUCH better Crypto counter located at the link below

I like the kcornell counter better. For one reason it was the original and for an even better reason, it doesn't come on an ad filled site.

Using pokertracker to count raked hands is by far the easiest method...

[naschburger2]

The easiest method is to just call them the next day they have updated the software so they can give you an accurate raked hand count quickly. Now classic poker is useless when you call them for a raked hand count. I play omaha hl either limit or pl and almost all the hands are raked but the players are insane.

[messenger309]

The kcornell counter is far superior.
