hijack question.. do you NEED to be 21 for absolute?

[/ QUOTE ]
you need to be 18, or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction.

back to the forum topic...AP's bonus is basically allowing you to play rake free. other than that the party bonuses are still the best.

If you play 5/10 and higher, you'll be better of playing at Party, but I think if you play 2/4, maybe 3/6 and below, the deposit bonus is easily the best on the Net.

Maybe they changed their definition of a raked hand, or something, but I played 1/2 and it took about 3000 hands to clear the raked hand requirement(2100 hands). Not hard at all.

i cleared the $210 last week. you have to pick a game that has an average pot around $8-9 or else it will take forever. they don't count a hand as raked unless the (called) pot becomes $5. plus, being able to only play 3 tables adds to the time to clear the bonus.

i hated the table look, i hated only being able to play 3 tables, i hated that there were so few games to choose from...i had to play 3/6 because there was only 1 or 2 no limit games. i also disliked having to request hand histories for import to PT and PlayerView doesn't work on there.

...but these were some of the worst players i've played against. i doubled my $600 deposit in 19 hours of play, so that plus the $210 bonus made it about $42/hr. not bad for a $600 deposit.

if i ever don't have other bonuses to clear, then it seems like absolute always has a reload bonus going. that plus the players makes it a good back-up.

Absolute Poker was the bonus giving whoore of the past year. Now they don't give out bonuses like they used to. They expire in 60 days; yes you have to clear the whole thing or you get nothing; nat many games here, but the games are soft.

You don't see a whole lot on BW because we have been there and gone somewhere else.

it seems like they changed things because they gave the bonus in $10 increments when i cleared it last week. $10/100 raked hands.
