It's So Hard To Say Goodbye

I bet you are thinking that I'm going to talk about leaving my job and moving across the state. Nope. This is much more deep than that.

Totalbet just changed their bonus payout. BASTAGES!!! Now instead of about $45/5 hours, it's $45 for 200 raked hands. I bet you're thinking, "Hey, 200 hands isn't bad." I beg to differ. Two hundred normal raked hands would be fine, but not with the crazy Crypto definition. In reality, it boils down to about 700 raked hands. You see, for it to be counted as a full raked hand, there has to be $1 of rake, which means the pot has to be at least $20. That is fine, normally. But before, all you had to play was $1/$2 for 5 hours. Now playing at that level, it takes a LOT of hands because if the rake is between $0.25-$0.99, you get 1/4 of a raked hand. Now you see the problem. Yeah, it sucks. That's why I stopped playing at Interpoker, because it takes sooooo long to clear, unless you play $2/$4 or $3/$6, which kind of defeats the purpose, since the bonus is $45 or $90 (on Interpoker).

Yet another case of the man trying to bring me down. These bonuses are getting harder and harder to clear.

Keep on keepin' on.
