For example on the $100 NL tables:
At Bet Fred on the iPoker network 85% of hands count as raked (basically if it sees a flop it's raked).
At Martin's Poker it's 40% (need .35 Euro raked ie 7 Euro pot)
At the Crypto sites that use raked hands - Interpoker, Littlewoods, Pokerplex etc - 25% of hands are raked (well you get 1 pt for a $20 pot and 1/4 pt for a $5-19.99 one -this works out at your points being 1/4 of your hands played overall)
Worst is Stars where the pot need to be $20 or you get nothing - I reckon you get a point every 5-6 hands or so.
The best way of working out your true bonus release rate is dividing the bonus by the no. of real hands needed to get it. Those 2500 raked hands needed for the $250 Bet Fred deposit bonus look bad next to the 450 raked hands for the $90 Interpoker bonus- but 2950 actual hands for $250 is 8.4c/hand; Interpoker will need 1800 for $90 or 5c/handStatistics: Posted by excession — Wed Jan 18, 2006 6:49 pm
