Pacific Poker Question.

[bunny]

Do you know anything about it?

I've spoken to 3 different agents and they don't know what 'rake' is. They keep telling me I need to still wager $457 worth before I can cash out my bonus.

Then why are you asking them about rake?

Go wager $457 and clear your bonus.

You told me I needed 250.

Talking Poker quote: "She's just trying to find out how far she is from clearing her bonus." YES!

I'm asking them where I can view how much I have yet to clear.

Did they not tell you to wager $457 more in response to that question?

As for the 250 raked hands you need to play for ME to get paid for you - they aren't going to track that for you. You'll have to do it yourself. Make an estimate, or make a tick mark on a piece of paper 250 times if you really have to.

I don't see why this is so difficult and involves numberous phone calls, emails, and forum posts. Just go play a few hundred hands and you'll be fine...

Most other sites track it for you. Simplifies it for you. Someone posted about the Party bonus and not being able to track the rake and that was upsetting to him too. But don't worry yourself about it, I'll take care of this on my own.
Thought maybe someone in here would be of help.

I've played for a total of 5 hours in that sucky little boring...shit whole of a poker site. I asked them how much they started my wager, needed to clear at, and they had no clue. If it's still at $457; what did they start me with? $1000? I've been there all day trying to clear that damn bonus.

End of posts.

Party tracks raked hand count for you, since it's your raked hands played that is used to determine when you clear a bonus. Obviously, based on the conversations you've had with Pacific so far, this is not how you clear a bonus there.

I'm not "worried" - just trying to answer the question that you keep asking. Again, my recommendations are (in order):
1. Poker Tracker
2. Pen and Paper

I just did a search here for other people who have tried clearing the bonus at Pacific (even though I'm still not "worried")... Looks like the consensus is that it's slow going at limits below $2/4. FYI.

I know I cleared it ($100) in something like 2 hours. That was playing 5/10 and up, though...
