It may take forever to clear PLAYOCT at Empire

[321Mike]

I deposited at 12:10 and went straight to 4 tabling .50/1 6-max. I had no trouble finding tables with one open seat. Of course, there wasn't a great deal of choice, but at .50/1 it doesn't matter that much. I hit a couple of loose tables and a couple slightly loose tables - nothing unusual at all. Got in 353 hands in one hour. 132 were raked. This bonus should clear quickly and easily.

this seems weird - just over 1/3 of the hands are raked and you're happy?

That's around 33% raked hands...even for a 6 max table, hardly anything to get excited about. Say you stay at that pace, you're looking at ~2100-2200 hands to make the 700 raked... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I was just over at Empire looking around...would do much better playing at least $1/2 full or 6-max to get this bonus.

Also gotta say that at this moment, the Empire tables at .50/$1 look eerily similar to the weak-tight Cryptos...

I hear that only hands you contribute moeny to are counted toward your required hands. Can anyone confirm?

Never has been before, just if the pot got to $5, then its raked for all playing(at least that was what it was BTPP)

Start clearing tonight for the 100% on $100 bonus for Empire.

I cleared 184 raked hands while playing 373 hands. A little slower than before, but not too bad considering tighter play on Empire. Also, according to raketracker.com they are in the works adding rakeback to the party skin. Not all hope is lost guys and gals.

Seemed like i was clearing mine a hell of a lot slower...900 hands, 474 raked. maybe its just me

The percentage of raked hands is slightly lower than usual. I'm not happy about that. I'm happy that I'm still finding plenty of soft tables at my desired limit and style (.50/1 6-max). I wasn't sure if that would be the case.

Why not play the NL25, a $1 pot that sees the flop counts.
