			Hey all, between August 22 and August 24, Empire is having a reload.  100% up to $100, 10X raked hands, or so I'm told, code is "PLAYAUG".

			10x?  Damn.  How many days to clear?  7d or 1m?

			You could do 1000 hands in a week.  I am off today and played over 600 not counting tournaments, though I have no idea how many were raked though, but I assume the majority of them.

			It entirely depends on the limit.  The Party/skin definition of a raked hand is ANY hand where a rake is taken.  I'll probably whore the 10c/25c game b/c of my $120 roll, so I'll anticipate a good amount of hands not counting.  :-/

			If you play 25pl/nl the blinds are 10c/25c and they rake the pots at $2.00 so 75% of the hands would be raked and if you venture to the Omaha hi/lo 25pl games almost all the hands get raked.

			I forgot to mention that I'm trying to make this bankroll grow!  Omaha would be a disaster.

			OK then, 25PL holdem would be a good choice, low blinds, most hands get raked and at least in PL you don't have to commit your stack pre-flop with QQ when someone is all in ahead of you with AK only to see a flop of AK2. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			From everything I have read your a pretty competent low level NL cash player so I don't think PL would require too much adjusting for you.

			Last week I had $39.  It's now a shade under $120.  Slowly but surely.
