Hi Pokamastah,

For $.25/$.50 NLHE we use the following numbers:
Raked hands: 38%
Hands/hr: 55
55*.38 = 20.9
20.9*.$20 ~= $4.20 (I didn't input the exact numbers in the interest of simplicity.)

I assume our difference is in what % of hands are raked for $1. What percentage would you say is accurate?

I don't know, but I cleared the last bonus at 50NL and a guesstimate would be about 3000-4000 hands played for the 120$ bonus, this required 600 hands with rake of $1+. So that would make it 15-20% raked for 1$ or more.

Now I am clearing the new bonus at 100NL and have played about 6-7hrs 4 tabling and cleared slightly more than 2/3 of it which would be about 1400hands. I should clear it within 2000 hands making it 30% raked for 1$ or more. In conclusion that 38% number is clearly too high of an estimate for the 50NL tables its probably even higher than the clearing rate at 100NL.

Then again someone who has actually imported all hands played into pokertracker could give you a more accurate answer.

Do you know you must have had a play money account before 25 May to be eligible for the promo?
