Anybody got a handle yet on how this new structure affects the number of raked hands counting towards a bonus? 3-tabling at the old $25NL I'd get about 125 raked per hour. Seems like maybe ~75-80% of all hands were raked, but that's just a guestimate. Is it significantly less now? I'm wondering if I need to step up to the $50NL tables to finish off the Feb bonus.

Yeah. I'd liek the same type of info. I'm wondering if the fish will stay at their old buy in or at their old blind structure. I'm inclined to say the former, just because they're probably be like "I don't want to lose more than this in a day."
Oh boy...WHY IN THE HECK would they do this?
I like monkey poker. :P

I played about 420 hands last night playing mostly 2-$25s and 1-$50. At the end playing just 2-$50s. Got credit for about 270 raked hands.
I'm going to guestimate the % of hands that count as raked drops from ~80% to ~60% at the new $25 tables(though this is a small sample).
As an aside, I saw a number of people at the $50 still buying in for only $25. I think I'm just going to bump up to the $50 level, at least to finish out the hands for this bonus and probably for good.
Noticed it was also a little tougher getting on a full ring table at the $25 level

I just cleared my $150 bonus (required 1050 raked hands), and it took maybe 3-4 hours of 3 tabling .50 - 1.00 limit
those people play anything and there is a rake at least every other hand....
all you have to do is be dealt cards..........

I wish I could win everytime!!

Don't think so. I believe you have to be dealt cards AND there has to be a rake(min of $2(?) bet). So at .1/.25 NL($25) there will be more non-raked hands then at .25/.5NL($50).
I ended up just 3-tabling at the $50NL, but I was more comfortable at the old limits at $25NL tables. No matter, I cleared the bonus for about a $350 profit. On to the next bonus...
