I hate how poker sites are biased towards limit sometimes

I play on the £1/2 NL tables and hit royal flush on Crypto today (yay me), but then I find out that I only get paid 25% of the bonus since £1/2 is lumped in with $1/2 limit.

Geez thanks, where pot averages are $40 - $60 and rake is capped at $6 I still only get paid 25% of $500. $125 is a single pot at this limit. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

This same thing applies to the Gaming Club Poker bonus before they (thankfully) changed it. During that time I had to sit through a few thousand hands of 2/4 limit to clear the bonus. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I just did the TGC bonus a month ago and still had to play 2/4 limit (instead of 2/4 NL). Did they change it since then?

That's cuz limit is real poker.

Can I have the free $125? I'm a lowly $1/2 and $2/4 limit player so I'm sure I could use the money more than you do. After all, it's only one pot!

I especially like how playing 5/10 NL earns you points at partypoker at the same rate as playing 1/2 limit. (Which is to say that you don't get any basically.)

Yeah I know, is it because they get more rake from the limit tables?

I wouldn't think so, since they rake at more intervals for the PL / NL tables . . .

You guys are bitching about the freebies that are being offered? Is this why you're playing poker?
I play to win money, and the sites seem to allow me to do that at limit and NL.
As far as party points are concerned, are you really jealous of the limit player walking around in the suede party poker jacket? seriously, could party try any harder to offer pure crap? How about a damn deck of cards? I'd get a couple of those 4 color decks and party would get some free advertising.
