I finished the Paradise Poker (click on link at right for your poker action!) reload bonus. There is something very interesting about them. They have the lowest rake on the net. For example, everyone charges a 5% rake with a given maximum for a given table.
Let's take $2/$4 for example. At Full Contact, they charge a 5% rake, even if it's just between the SB and BB (unraised). So with $4 in the pot, they take a $0.20 rake, even if it's just the two of you, and not raise. That's the minimum rake, but you can see, that adds up pretty quickly.
At Paradise Poker, it works much different, and I think that they recently changed it. They take no rake at all unless the pot hits $20. That's right, no rake until it hits $20. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that this saves you a tremendous amount of money in a short amount of time. I wish that they offered more reload bonuses, because they are my first love, and I still find them to be my favorite site.
Just thought that I'd share that with the 3-4 of you out there that might care.
I am still in the hole about $175 at Full Contact (including about $140 of bonus cleared). So that means that my stellar play has actually brought me $315 worth of losses, and here I thought I was a winning player. It's been pretty rough. In my defense, $100 dollars of that loss resulted in 1 $3/$6 session where the suckouts were more common than in a porno. The table was full of fishies, but I had to leave the table due to a poker game that was about to start at my pad. So I really only consider my losses about $215 or so. The $1/$2 tables have been especially brutal, as I'm down about $130 at that level alone. Pretty crazy.
