Raked Hand Requirement

[mrmuzeman]

Hi Guys, Wanting to play in the raked hand freeroll at ladbrokes for the poker cruise each week. You have to have played 250 raked hands in the previous 7 days to be eligible. How long roughly do you think this will take? Im not used to playing cash games so am not sure, usually do buy in tournies you see. Obviously it depends on your type of play and cards but in general I am a pretty tight player looking for non-junk starting hands. Any ideas? I hoping only about 4 of 5 hours but fear it could be many more and I'm not sure if I want to be devoting that much time to my cash game just yet. Also do the blinds count? For instance if I folded a small blind would that be a raked hand? I have contributed to the pot afterall. Also do hands have to see the flop to be taken as raked hands? Also does anyone know if you have to play certain stakes to be eligible? For instance you must play in $0.50/$1 or above. Info much appreciated, thanx :)

Re: Raked Hand Requirement Im my experiances you play about 50-60 raked hands an hour. Obviously you wont be playing all 50 - 60 hands yourself. Also not all hands you play in will be raked hands. if everyone folds and the BB takes the pot then that would be a non raked hand. Also check on the site if they have a requirement on the tables you have to play on. Hopefully not but they might stipulate that the raked hands are on the $1/2 tables. Hope this helps for now.
