Two questions about Absolute reloads

And yet I seem to lose money there.
Dunno why.

Probably too small a set of stats to judge.

But the bonus + RB make up for it.

Side question: Can you clear the bonus AND have rakeback at the site without negating the rakeback?

Make sure you opt for the "unmentionable" for this site as bonii do not count towards your MGR.

(Short answer: yes)

Just be on the lookout for people with pattern mappers, jamming pre-flop with baby pairs only to keep spiking sets. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Yes the Bonii do not count towards your MGR.

Absolute rakes in increments of $.05 at .5/1, so the pot has to reach $5 to count.

Ick. I hadn't realized that, or the 2/4 rake. Why on earth are there always so many people playing those levels?

It clears pretty fast at 5/10, too, and the rake doesn't suck nearly so much.

from my experience, that holds about true as long as the games are not in rock-garden mode

My experiences

I two table .5/1 so I get in about 115 - 120 hands per hour. I find that 1 in every 2.5 hands or so reach the rake requirement, so 250 hands to get $10 in bonus. Therefore I get $10 in bonus every 2.5 hours or so, so the $4 per hour is doable if you 2 table. The tables are much looser after 8 or 9 PM eastern time. Luckily I live on the West coast so that when I play at around 10 Mountain time it's midnight on the east coast. Playing when I get home from work at about 5 = extreme rock garden (like $3 average pots) so I stay away during that time. I don't have the unmentionable on there and I plan on opening a new account on a clean computer.

Absolute players are better than your average Party donk so you should keep this in mind. I'm around -0.3bb/100 at Absolute over about 5000 hands and around 2.5bb/100 at Party skins so if given a choice between a Party reload or Absolute I always opt for Party.

I have been off of Absolute the last month as I have been casino whoring. It is indeed profitable as I'm up $600 for the month casino whoring to a tune of about $30 an hour. Once the casino bonuses dry up I'm going back to Absolute.
