Bonus Whore Newbie Q: "Raked Hands"

[Hood]

In the T&Cs of a promotion (e.g. http://www.pokernow.com/offers/stand...onditions.html), when you need to play X number of raked hands to clear a bonus, do you have to take part in the hand? If you fold pre-flop and commit nothing to the pot, does this count?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the n00b question.

It counts as long as the pot eventually got big enough to be raked. As long as you were dealt 2 down cards, you are considered to have "participated" in the hand regardless of your subsequent actions.

Thanks.
