What consitutes a raked hand though? Couldn't find any details on the site.

No idea. I've got a pending bonus on my account and as I never play the cash tables and I do keep meaning to ask SpOdds how close I am to releasing it through the MTTs and STTs I play. (I have a feeling each tournament might be 1 hand). I'm sure someone will know how it works on the cash ones tho.

I played a 5/10 cent table on SO yesterday with $3, lost 30 cents and came out. My account was credited with $10 and my pending bonus was down by $10

$90 to go

On SJ a RH is any hand you are involved with over 35 cents.

On SO I think a raked hand is any that you've put money into where they take a rake from the pot.

It's very easy to clear 50 hands on the $0.05/$0.10 cash tables to clear your next $10.00 bonus without risking very much at all. If you have a bonus outstanding then playing the 100 hands would also mean you're awarded $20.00 in bonus's.

im in i presume with this raked hands will be the same as for the 50 up daily, any hand where u contribute to the pot in any cash game. But for SO loyality bonuses it has to be on a 25/50 table!

[ubermonkey1]

i think so's bonus structure is $10 released for $100 worth of spend .so it does take a while to clear playing lo level stt's and mtt's ,but not too bad on cash tables where you are putting money in quicker

Hi Guys,

To generate a raked hand on SportingOdds (and any other Boss site) you have to be on the cash tables and do all of the below 3 things;

1. Contribute to the pot.
2. Still be in the hand when the flop is dealt.
3. Still be in the hand when the pot reaches 20c. (it used to be $1 until July).

Basically with the levels set so low it's very hard to see a flop on any table without getting a raked hand. Each STT and MTT is supposed to count as one but i couldn't guarantee the Boss software always picks this up!

Have a good weekend and get yourselves registered as there are already 2 PL's going to Walsall and it should be a great weekend.

Joe

PS - if any of you get Poker Europa have a look at this month's issue (pg 79) for a PL player representing SportingOdds!

might as well give this a try,have cleared all my bonus amount now but still play the 05/10 tables for the 50 up games each day,usually takes a couple of hours to get the 50 so thats 5 hrs im busy this weekend(unless her who must be obeyed says different)
