Let me ad to this some reflections on the Full Tilt rake structure. I have been playing there for a good 2-3 months (yes, I am a newbie). In so far, I am releasing bonus as I play which up until this point accounts for about half of my winnings. The bonus is paid in increments of $10 or $20 for every 
165 full tilt points (Full Tilt Poker's) or so (in my case they have changed from $10 to $20 and I have no idea why).

The FTP's are assigned as $0.06 per FTP which equals $0.06 per dollar raked in cash games. So if there are on average four players per hand, each contributes 25 cents to each raked dollar and receives 6 cents back in bonus.

Full Tilt's bonus system therefore only gives you a reduction in rake from 10% to 7.6% (under the assumptions of 4 players per $1 rake).

Thus, what Full Tilt claims to be "the most generous bonus system anywhere" is really only a smallish discount off their enormous rake.

In fact, anyone who plays at full tilt will contribute a much larger amount to the Full Tilt profits than they will release in bonus while the bonus is active.

It is highway robbery.
