Wowza, just read the interpoker stuff

Ok now I am interested. How many players are on per night? I assume the BW.com offer is the best one to use?

About $86 with pontoon (not that I have to remind you that Pontoon's the only game you should be playing at Intercasino)

Actually, you do. I clear it with BJ.

Pontoon has a lower house advantage than BJ. Variance is higher though.

I've just abandoned my attempt at the SS2 promo.

I just got the email (it was locked up in my ISP's spam control center). 700 raked hands for SS2 -- thought I'd give it a go. I've already cleared September's $90 bonus in the casino -- I've been doing that the last 3 months.

Started playing Millers Short-Stack System at $0.50/$1.00 NL 6-handed. Talk about slow! After about 150 hands, barely 50% were raked at all, which is the requirement for the SS2 promo. At this rate it would take 1400 dealt hands to get the 700 RH needed. SS2 is available on Amazon for $23.00. 700RH/$23 makes this a 30X bonus. With the raked-hand percentage of about 50% it's 60X dealt hands.

There are better uses of my time out there than this. What am I missing?

what do you think of this:
just got email that 400 raked hands this weekend=$30
then i just continue to 500 raked hands = $90
for total of 120 for 500 raked hands (must be $1)

thas seems better then clearing at casino
only problem is there arent a whole lot of 2/4 tables and almost none at 3/6

i usually play 4-5 tables at crytos but its hard to find them at higher levels to clear 1 rake.

anyone going this route or still going to casino?

Pontoon has higher EV. But BJ can be played faster -- at least I can play BJ a heck of a lot faster. And that leads to a higher hourly-rate playing BJ.

So I go with BJ.
