Default Re: What do you think of Eurobet?

you are forgetting that it's usually OTHER players that are paying for the rake-back that YOU are earning (since you are involved in fewer hands than them).

in other words: If I'm playing on site A with no deal at all then I would make more with 20% rake-back than I would if they just reduced the rake by 20% across the board.


For a tight-ag player rakeback >> reduced-rake.


If your play is on the weak-tightish side this would likely be even more pronounced (if you're 16/8 instead of 21/14).


Regarding the Euro bonus....I'm not sure the original poster realizes that Euro is a skin of poker-room now.
I really dislike the software there.

That said, I may actually go about trying to clear it anyway.
Haven't checked...is there an expiration date for it?

Wheres the misunderstanding here? The rake at 3/6 SH is like 5bb/100. At party its around 3bb/100.

Well, if you are playing full ring, and you are a tight player, you are probably getting 80-120% of your rake back via bonus. The bonus clears proportionally to rake collected (but not contributed rake), so you can't write it off just because of a high rake schedule.

Right I was talking about SH tho. I cant speak for FR as I havent played it.

With bonus + rakeback the bonus IS JUST comparable to standard rakeback at stars for 2/4 and 3/6. The games are average.

Huh? Stars doesn't have any type of rakeback.

I play 5/10 and couldn't believe how quick the bonus cleared. It must be about 5x at this limit.

It's 6,000 points no matter what limit you're at. Points are based on rake. At $5/10 you're probably getting about 2 points per hand (which would require 3,000 hands). At $1/$2 the average is probably .5 - .7 points per hand.

Does it (unlike pokerroom) clear incrementally? Or lump sum?

Curious if anyone knows about MGR deductions too.

Bonus amount is deducted from the MGR.

The $600 bonus obviously clears super fast at the 5/10 mand above. The idea that these games are rock gardens is completely inaccurate. if you can't beat the 5/10 game at euro (assuming you are not running bad) you should clearly be playing a lower limit. Even the tight players make some of the most idiotic flop calls. In general, the level of competition is rather weak. Plenty of lags to help inflate your winrate too. I would not do this bonus if I was playing 2/4 or lower though. The rake is killer at these levels and the bonus take way too long to clear.
Yes this software is terrible for multitabling. I usually play 3 tables, but if I play four I generally get timed out every once in a while.
It is noce to be able to use pt and pahud, but other than that this is close to the worst software i have used. A close second to the original version of Noble Poker.
