I believe with the volume I put in I can get about 24,000 hands in per month on ACR. This is based on how many hours I play per month, 40-50, assuming I 6-table and see 90-100 hands per hour per table which I think is fairly reasonable.

Right now my win rate isn't measurable because I only have 6k hands in, but it was stabilizing at about 10 bb/100 at 50 NL. However, for the sake of argument, let's assume my win rate at 100 is 6-8 bb/100, which I think is reasonable on Bovada. This means I am making $15-20/hour if I 4-table and see about 250 hands per hour which is what I average.

Would it make sense to switch to ACR, and take the hit on win rate due to tougher field, for the ability to play 6 tables, see more hands and get elite rewards? I'm assuming I can scratch out a 3 bb/100 win rate, which seems reasonable, and if rake back adds another 2 bb/100, then 5 bb/100 net win rate would yield $30/hour.

Even if my estimate of my win rate or the effect of rake back is a pinch high, I think at this stake and above it would make more sense since I believe I can rake more than $545/mo (I would convert points to T$) and probably more than $700/mo if I was just converting the points to cash at a lower conversion rate.

Do these seem like reasonable assumptions or not?

Being someone who plays both. I would play both. Play 4 on bovada and just add couple table from wpn. I wouldn't just move. You may find you can't win on wpn. Some pretty good players

I noticed last weeks SNC ended with two players finishing with the same score on the money bubble. I am not either of these players so it doesn't directly affect me but I'm curious if anyone knows if WPN chops the prize in these scenarios? It's obvious they should chop but I'm skeptical that the system was actually designed to account for these situations as they are so rare. (I'm not blaming WPN, i'd give anyone the benefit of the doubt if a chop is not automatic as I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first time this has ever happened and may never happen again)

Did you ever ask them about this? The same thing is happening to me. Im playing a lot of 100nl mixed with 200nl and its not releasing near at the pace it should be.

Rakeback players don't earn points at the same rate as VIP players do. Hence why I'm not as excited about the PLO promo as some. It's just that much harder to clear come Jan 1 and I don't want to switch over to VIP because I don't put in nearly as much volume to make it a better option compared to RB.

In case you come here because of that blanket spam mail the affiliate sent, the VIP program is pretty good. The software is **** and the games aren't "healthy".

You keep your current status but not sure bout the bonuses. My achievement rewards are still on last years and my status is the same but my points counters have all been reset on the reward details page. I thought it all would be reset that why it says dec 31st in the reward details page?

Quick question -- I switched to rakeback from Elite after a week or so of playing, and I still have Combat Points sitting around my account... Is there any use for these apart from buying into some small-stakes tourneys?

I made a few deposits recently on BCP and was assessed a "cash equivalency fee" by my bank. BCP is saying it isn't coming from their end. Has anyone else noticed this? I use US Bank. Thanks....

Is this the correct formula for how rake back players clear bonuses?

If a 27% rake back player rakes $100, they will receive $27 in rake back and will clear their deposit bonus as if they had raked $73

The only difference in the two methods is that the bonus does not last quite as long since it clears on the full rake amount rather than the after-rakeback amount.

Keep in mind that The Beast/Sit&Crush fees do not count as rake for these purposes.
