Party & Empire Have Won

RollaJ · #1 06-23-2005, 01:59 PM

Its been a great run, but I will never do another 15x bonus at Party or Empire. Its is just a waste of time, as 15x means that you are playing over about 1800 hands and therefore are earning about 5.5 cents a hand. At that rate, Even FullTilt is better. And UB blows them away as you have the ability to earn as much as 15 cents a hand for a fully raked hand when starting a table.
PokerRoom too kicks their asses as PokerRoom is usually only 7x

Back in the day the Bonnii were 5x, then 7x, then even the 10x were still cool, but 15x is a joke. Basically it is only worth it if you play there anyway (and dont withdraw as that'll negate your bonus). So basically this is their way of giving money to their loyal losing players.

That being said, perhaps Party hasnt won at all...... as these bonuses wont bring players to their site anymore.
Oh well, guess its time to go short party stock [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

PokerRoom may appear to be only 7x, but these are Player Points and not raked hands. In order for a hand to qualify for 0.5 player points the rake must be >50c and for a whole player point the rake must be >$1.

In reality at the PL$25 tables that I play, I am accumulating Player Points at the rate of only about 1 per 5 hands raked.

I still much prefer the action at PokerRoom to Party.

I believe that has changed where a raked hand counts as one full point. I'm not positive about that and I can't check it right now b/c I'm at work, but if I ever get off I'll check and see!

That being said, perhaps Party has won after all...... as these bonuses wont bring bonus whores to their site now, but fish can't tell the difference between 5x and 500x.
