1. Look for games where the top bet is not disproportional compared to overall pot. If pot is 120k and top bet is 100k, the most in bonus you can get is 1.2% of your wager, which will not likely cover the house edge since you contribute 1% of that bonus.
I'm not sure.
Are you including your own bet with that?
If the top bet is 100k, you should bet 100k too, meaning you get a little over 2% of the pot if you cash out just after the other 100k player.
I think it's optimal to match the highest bet.
