only place I know that doesn't give 17tc/hr is Caesars (Vegas), which gives 34tc/hr.
or has that changed?
edit:
nevermind, didn't see wsop tourney $1 rake = 1tc
In addition to Caesars, I'm told Rio now spreads a 2/3 NL game every day that pays 34/hour (though I've never played in that game myself).

My question is, how often do they do this and how can you find out when it is??? Do they even still do this? He seemed rather vague in telling me because I'd like to try it!
Around 2009-2010, I knew a few people who played in Atlantic City that got
Seven Star cards (10x the points of Diamond) from poker play only. This was back when Harrah's AC paid 60 TC/hour at their 2/5 game, and Bally's had a 1/3 game that paid 48 TC/hour but once a week would double to 96 TC/hour. I got about 30k TC a couple years playing part time. (Diamond was 11k back then, but there were no daily bonuses.)
The poker games at Horseshoe Baltimore paid 50 TC/hour until about a year ago. I got the 1000 TC daily bonus there a few times.
But even now, getting Diamond at 34/hr requires you to play 8.5 hours/week regardless of any bonuses. I have to imagine there are a number of players that play that much.
