I withdrew a couple days ago. If someone in the same situation tries this one, let us know if you get the bonus. This ain't Party, so I won't be bothered if I am ineligible for a 10x bonus at the newly tight Empire, but it may be worth doing.

Hmm...I'm debating on whether or not to do this one. Is this 10x bonus any better than Absolute's (see as how tight the x-party skins have become)? If not, I won't waste my time on it. Hell, I rarely waste my time on Absolute (I don't have RB there).

Thanks for the tip!

I played my initial $100 Empire bonus after the split, which was a 5x raked hands bonus. It took me about 1400 hands of .5/1 to clear a 500 raked hands bonus. The tables are incredibly tight, at .5/1 the highest average pot you will see is about $4, also you cannot be choosey upon which table you join since all tables are constantly full. Therefore you pretty much play at whatever table to can get a seat at.

When I cleared my bonus, juicy tables were nonexistant. Take my comments with a grain of salt though, since when I cleared my bonus there was also that big bonus they had going, up to $600 or something; I'm not sure. The tables were full of whores, blindstealing and positional play were pretty crucial. Pushing marginal edges became very important, and my game isn't good enough to really take advantage of this, so I found it hard to adjust.

I'm going to do the bonus. I think there are some decent 1/2 short tables at Empire--you just have to look harder.

That's very handy... I had just stickied one of those silly $10/30x things up to $30 and was going to deposit to clear it. So guess I'll just have to have a $130/10x bonus instead... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Last months Euro reload really was not all that torturous at the .50/$1 6 max tables. Still, it does get annoying actually having to pay attention at that level.

That 15 day thing gets applied one time, and rather haphazardly I might add as not everyone was denied the bonus despite cashing out within 15 days prior, months ago and now every time there's a bonus you guys think withdrawing BEFORE the bonus period is somehow gonna make you ineligible for the bonus.
