Doyle's Room - Super Bonus

[lightfungus]

Harder than you think, but its not awful. Watch for the suckouts!

So any pot that reaches $3 will distrubute the max. amount (300) of Action Points proportionally to whoever put money in the pot. That's not as bad as I thought.

[Reel Deal]

Actually, I think you only get points for the portion you contributed to the pot.

So, if my math is right and you go after the max bonus of $550, you'll need to wager $1100.

[Quint]

I think it's going to take considerably more than that. That figure would be correct if there were an unlimited amount of points awarded per hand. But, they cap the points at 300 per hand. That's $3 in the pot. That's the antes in a $2/$4 game! Anything you put into the pot after that (as far as the points go) is just increasing your share of those 300 points.

For the purpose of clearing this bonus you would be better off finding a 6-max table full of rocks to maximize your share of the prize pool when you fold your blinds and that you could push around when you do catch a hand. If you're playing tight at a table full of maniacs that are capping it on every street you're going to have to play along with them in order to get any points. In this situation you'd only be getting a couple of points when you folded your blinds.

If you take it to the extreme -

Example: $2/$4 game full (10) table, you're in the big blind

Best case scenario: Everyone folds to you - $3 pot, point pool 300. 200 goes to you, 100 goes to small blind.

Worst case scenario: You fold PF and everyone else stays in. It gets capped on every street. $434 pot, point pool 300. 1 point goes to you, 33 points go to each of the other 9 players.

Yes, I know neither one of these scenarios is going to happen, but it does illustrate that you're not going to get a 1 cent to 1 point ratio on your wagers.

Its $3 rake that give the max points. If it gets folded to you in the BB, yes its a $3 pot, but no flop no drop, so no rake.

[Quint]

You may be right, but that's not how I interpret what was emailed to RD above. If so, then WOW that is nearly impossible to clear!

[MAYHEM45]

Yeah I've done like 3 bonuses on this network. Never again. *shudder*
