Carribean Sun Question

[mervhage]

From MJ's post about various sites and their bonus:

Site: Caribbean Sun Poker - www.caribbeansunpoker.com
Bonus: $40 per month bonus + $50 sign-up bonus
Requirements: 250 raked hands for $40 bonus, 250 raked hands for $50 sign-up bonus
Approximate Time: 8-10 hours for total $90 bonus Other Promos: Monthly reload, various high hand, bad beat and hand promotions
Rakeback: 30% automatic rakeback with TightPoker.com

500 raked hands for $90 will take 8+ hours? I'm thinking along the lines of a Party bonus and for 500 raked hands, I can clear that in ~3 hours max.

I'm not sure what they consider a raked hand at Caribbean Sun, but if it is like InterPoker, not every hand that is raked counts.

Yes, Caribbean Sun belongs to the same network as Interpoker. Not every hand is raked and it can take a while to clear the $90 bonus. It took me a week to clear the Interpoker bonus on $1/$2 FL. It clears much quicker on $2/$4 because most hands are raked and the pot get quite big.

Yuk.

I'm just curious if it's going to be worth the time, I need to generate some extra cash for the Holiday b/c I want to spoil the kiddies on Christmas and I'm not counting on any "bonus" from work... greedy fuckers.

Pots raked $1 count as one raked hand, pots raked $0.25-$0.99 count as .25 raked hands and the rake is 5% no-flop/no-drop. So essentially you get .25 raked hand when the pot hits $5, 1 raked hand when it hits $20.

It's the same for every currency, so if you play in GBP you need at least 5 GBP in the pot, etc.

I hated it when they made the change to $1 rake. But now at $2/$4, it really does go quickly. It's true that a very high percentage of hands are raked

A quick look in my db shows a partial sample from this month

Code: Select all

Hands 684
>=$1 rake 289
quarter rake 256

for 353 raked hands out of 684 = 51.6%
