You're not getting anywhere close to $15 per hour on a 20x bonus.

Not per table/hour, certainly. 4-tabling short it's about right.

4-tabling 3/6 SH is worth about $14 per hour in RB, if you're getting 25%. Playing off a 20x bonus at 4 tables of 3/6 SH pays about $9 per hr.

I guess these bonuses might be worthwhile for microlimit bonus whores, but that's about it.

At 3-6 SH I can get 320 raked hands per hour easy.Your math is wrong. 15 An hour easy.

Which is better.... 27% RB + Multipoker bonuses or 30% RB and no bonuses? Can anyone do the math on that? I'm dumb.

At 5/10 SH, doing a bonus of $100:

30% RB: $203
27% RB: $257


The bonus and lower RB is better.

You're wrong. You get dealt about 320 to 350 hands per hour on four tables of 3/6 SH. Only about half of those hands get raked. Playing a 20x bonus at four tables of 3/6 SH will pay you about $8 per hour.

20x is a bit harsh, but I'll go for it, maybe not a full $500 in case something better comes along.

You can clear all 5 bonuses or start at the $100 bonus. You don't have to do the most expensive and time consuming one.

This is an AWESOME bonus if you are a small buy-in player. If you play something like $25NL or even $50NL this bonus clears faster than Absolute, Crypto (Interpoker), Stars, etc.

Unlike these other sites, any raked pot counts not just when the rake hits $.25 or $1. Minimum pots that count at Multi are $1 and these are common even at $25NL, however $5 and especially $20 pots are far less so.

I cleared $300 in these bonuses in Sept, almost entirely at $25NL full table - 7,162 hands total (119 at $50NL, 641 at $25NL 6-handed, 397 at $25PL and 6,005 at $25NL). I was 5.6 BB/100 Hands ($214.22 in profit) and paid $172.15 in rake.

So my bonus was $127.85 MORE than the rake I paid and the amount of bonus I collected exceeded my winnings!

Now granted for medium and high limit players, $300 for 7000 hands probably seems like peanuts and I figured the hourly bonus to be worth about $5/hr 4-tabling $25NL. Again, insignificant for the big boys, but that more than DOUBLES my hourly rate. And keep in mind, for someone with a bankroll in the $500-$1000 range $300 is a significant sum!!!

20X is misleading since Multi's definition of a raked hand is far more liberal than most other sites. On Multi, a $1 pot counts as a raked pot. On other sites it takes a much larger pot (usually $5 but as high as $20) to count.

This makes a huge, huge difference at lower buy-ins!!
