Some PT analysis concerning clearing bonuses...

[Schwartzy61]

Was messing around in PT yesterday and decided to try and figure how much I was making in bonuses at various sites and this is what I came up with...

All my stats are per table hour at full ring limit games...

Absolute $1/$2: 40 raked hands and $0.63 in rakeback (27.5%)
Party $0.50/$1: 35 raked hands
Party $1/$2: 49 raked hands
Party $2/$4: 36 raked hands
Ultimate Bet $0.50/$1: 13.33 UP
Ultimate Bet $1/$2: 21 UP
Paradise $1/$2: 46 raked hands
Poker Stars $0.50/$1: 10.6 FPP
Poker Stars $1/$2: 17.2 FPP
Prima Poker $0.25/$0.50: 23.8 raked hands
Prima Poker $0.50/$1: 28.9 raked hands
Prima Poker $1/$2: 43.2 raked hands

I know Bonus Whores has their thing posted but I never really trusted their numbers and decided to do a little analysis for myself from my own real data.

Thought this might help someone, somewhere, and feel free to reply with any analysis you've done with your own numbers...

Interesting numbers. Thanks.

I don't understand actually, your numbers mean nothing i think...

[Schwartzy61]

Pretty simple, it's either the number of raked hands per hour per table I collected on average or the number of points (Ultimate Points on Ultimate Bet or Frequent Player Points on Poker STars) I collected per hour per table on average. You can then project how much bonus you can clear at a given limit per table per hour.

Nice post. I've often thought about doing an analysis like this as well but I'm lazy.

You might add how many hands you at each site/level so we can get some kind of guage as to sample size. Then again, this sort of thing probably converges pretty quickly.

So, if I understand this correctly, by 3-tabling you would average $12 (120 points) and $1.89 in rakeback or $13.89/hour to break even?

Yep, $13.89 before factoring in any kind of win rate.

Well it was 5,000+ at each site's limit with Party's having the most hands.

I always just multiply the BW grid by .83 to get a more accurate pay out. I think the grid uses the numbers the poker sites themselves put up for players/flop, pot size, etc. It overestimates a tiny bit.
