Ok, so when you play 40 hours of B&M, you're playing 2/4 and getting $40 per hour in comps, right? So, online, how many points can you get playing 2/4 40 hours per week? Hopefully you are playing at least 2-3 tables at a time, which you can't do B&M, but even if you are only playing 1, I want to know how many points you earned and what they are worth.

Just for fun, let's pretend you can only earn $5 (which I think is ridiculously low) worth of points in 40 hours. So, you could have earned $35 more at the B&M casino, right?

What you are failing to take into consideration is:
1. The FAR fewer hands you will have played B&M which = FAR less money won. This stands to be in the hundreds of dollars (on average) per every 40 hours, even at 2/4.
2. The fact that you probably paid $200 more in rake over the course of that 40 hour span in the B&M room! That alone makes their comps worthless.
3. Shit... you probably would have had to spend $10 in gas just driving back and forth from the casino that week! Not to mention all the time you wasted in the car that you could have been playing had you just stayed home.
