Full Tilt RakeBack!

I'm fairly certain (although I don't have rakeback at Full Tilt) that rakeback goes like this when you have a bonus still with them.

When playing you get 42% of your rakeback through the bonuses that you are clearing. Full Tilt then subtracts that total amount of bonus that you have cleared from the MGR. You then get 27% of what is left of the MGR.

So, if your total rake generated playing that month was 1,000, you would get $420 (1000*.42) in bonus money and $156.6 for rakeback (580*.27=156.6).

Thus, if you have a bonus+rakeback, it is then in effect 57.6% rakeback.

I didn't do the math and I'm not sure where the 42% number came from, but that sounds reasonable to me.

The point is, the "bonus money" - regarding how it reduces your rake - is going to be split between Full Tilt (73%) and you (27%). So you'll still be getting some rake back ON TOP OF the bonus. In other words, it's a good thing.

Sweet deal! But I am really noticing a difference in play from Stars...I mean these guys reraise anything with any kind of draw and nothing at all...so far my hands are holding up though so I guess I can't complain.

What level are you playing? I've always though (and heard) that the play is much softer than Stars.

1/2NL...My CB's were getting reraised significantly more than they usually do at Stars, but who knows long run.
