best investment with Party's free $40?

[Elke]

Man Party's got it down when it comes to random bonus money showing up in my account. Their last gift of $75 I'm still working on, up to $900.

Today they gave me $40 more (400 raked hands requirement) and it's almost just a distraction from my other bonus whoring tasks. For that reason, what's my best line here for getting a quick, balls to the wall return on this money? My guess is maybe .10/.25 NL and wait for some monsters. Any thoughts?

play $200NL. Play ultra-TAG, Raise 5-6xBB, push any flop /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

This amount is no longer in PP, I have only the $40 in my account.

I've been two tabling $.5/1 limit tables. If you feel comfortable playing more than that then you'll clear the bonus in no time.

Shortstack 25 NL and take it to BJ if you end up under $50. That's what I did with the crappy $15 Empire one.

Normally I just get reloads but I got one of this $40 bonuses now.

Ive read the FAQ on Cashout Restricted bonuses and understand that when you play the bonus at a table any losses are deducted from the Bonus amount and not one’s other available funds. I also get it that when the bonuses gets to <=$10 that they just consider it expired and release whatever is left of the bonus to you.

But heres whats unclear to me…..how does it work if I multitable to clear the bonus?

For example, Suppose in a session that I take the $40 to Table 1 and then take another $40 to table 2 whilst Im still at table 1. I multitable for a while. I break even at Table 1 but I lose money at table 2. Does that Table 2 loss get deducted from the $40 restricted bonus or does it come straight off my unrestricted account $ thats not part of the bonus?

In this scenario should I take $20 to each table (so that $20 of the bonus is at each table) and then top up once ive sat down at both table? Would that help 'distribute' the bonus dollars so I can lose at each table and only lose bonus and not the rest of my money?

I hope the party software is smart enough to work it out and deduct all session losses from the bonus first but I thought it better to ask here cos we all know I wont get a decent answer from party support

thx

They only gave me $30.

They gave me $30 a couple months ago and I blew it on a tourney instead of "working it off". I think I will invest this $30 the same way.

i milked the $75 free last month too by playing $25 NL and playing LAG. My advice is to filter the tables and find the 6 max ones with the highest pot avg., as usually those are the tables that give the most action (i.e. have the most push-happy donkeys).

Although the free money itself (the $75) isn't withdrawable, any moeny you make above the $75 is. So if you have money in neteller, you can just deposit whatever you need to withdraw the $50 minimum from party, and repeat everytime you make an appreciable amount.

I made about $300 off the $75 free last month before busting out my last $75 with about 30 hands left to clear (out of 750) on two 3 outers and one 2 outer.

So far I'm up about $200 this month from the $40 free and I've cleared about 200/400 required hands.

Like somebody else said earlier this thread, you can als o take your $40 to a higher NL 6 max table (with lots of action) and play short stack strategy hoping to double/triple up with a huge hand and then work from there. Both work but the $25 NL approach has a bit less variance.

I played a tourney with the $40, now I am renewing my love affair with STT and some MTT of which I feel rather uncomfortable in but they are fun.

My question: I ran the $ up to $400+, I haven't played more than like 12 raked hands though. Under restricted money it says $0. So wtf? I don't want them taking all my money, but it doesn't look like it's restricted.

Party's given me free money a couple times. I always just find a no limit table which my cash buys me in four about 25% to 50% of a stack, and try to win.

If that works and I get up to a normal stack or so, I move up. Never made it past NL $600 so far. But it's fun!
