Is Crypto still worth playing?

I currently play 8-tables of 3/6, and as you know Crypto's small stake table section sucks. You think it's worth clearing the monthly bonuses there still?

I hope you're getting rakeback.

If yes then no.

If no then no.

I have to agree that it is not worth it. I have not bothered to clear one of these in months.

Thanks, I currently hav rakeback on two different skins but i'm so busy whoring with my account and my gnome that I haven't had a chance to do it. But yeah, i'm glad I don't have the guilty concience of not whoring Crypto anymore =)

Although maybe Interpoker x5 raked hands requirement is still worth it?

If you're 8 tabling $3/$6 on rakeback you should be making like $30/hr from that alone.

I play 2/4 and it is worth it to me. I cut out Caribbean sun because they changed their terms, but the other 5 yeild 281 a month, and without that much effort. Plus I love playing their £1/£2 6 max games in the afternoon.

I play 1/2 and it's worth it, but only when I play at least 3 tables. The play is incredibly slow with, probaly because of all the time bonuses (5hrs for L25), but that makes it easier to multi table.

When I've looked at higher limits there doesn't seem to be anyone playing at 2/4 or 3/6. I can't imagine it's possible, much less worth it to clear bonuses at these levels.

As far as I'm concerned, the only Crypto still worth playing is Poker Plex. Since unraked hands count towards the clearing requirement, you can clear the bonus pretty quickly if you multitable.

I've bid farewell to Interpoker - with only raked hands counting towards clearing the bonus it takes forever to play off (I usually play 1/2 limit). I was at one table that was so tight only about 1 hand in 5 was raked. The NL can be juicy, but not enough to make Interpoker worth my time.

Unless they change their terms too, I'm sticking with Poker Plex.

If you are getting a 30% rakeback at $3-6 LHE Full you'll get around 4.50 cents per hand. 8-tabling at 63 hands per hour is 504 hph total or $22.68 per hour just on rakerebates.
