Czuch Chuckers: Don't be silly, when these players aren't involved the bonus comes into play, generally at around 400-600 above the lower bets.
In the first round 400 is a risky bet. 550 is more likely to get the bonus, but you might as well bet 50. Of course you deny the bonus to someone else. 1000+ is stupid, there's no way around it.
(hide) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (show all tips)
