I have been watching how much bonus I am clearing over the last few days since the changes came into effect. Previously I was clearing $30 - $40 a day (playing around 600 - 700 hands a day, split between $1/$2 and $2/$4 tables). Now I am barely clearing $20. This truly sucks. However, I play at Fulll Tilt too, occasionally. What sucks about FT as compared to AP , is that at FT they deduct your bonus from the rakeback. The day AP starts doing that, you wont see me playing there anymore.

"...... I don't even think about the bonuses while I play. It's just $ that is added to my bottom line at the end of the month......"

Amen.

I'm amazed at the amount of people who think that bonuses are insignificant while they are playing......especially when running bad.

syed...i imagine that day wont be too far away. the bonus system gets worse and worse as they get more and more players. if they continue to prosper (as im sure they will...theyre about to acquire UB) then im sure they'll start deducting everything possible from the MGR.

im gonna try and play 50k hands a month until that happens.

jjok...that is the main reason im on AP. less stressful when you have some guaranteed funds coming in each month.
