What's the word on Martin's Poker?

[bkholdem]

What's the latest story on the reloads on this site?

Are people gettting in trouble for using the novrelaod and/or decreload ??? Are they locking accounts or do they plan to do that? Are they going to just not credit the one that takes more raked hands to clear? What's the deal??

[IronDragon1]

it's just "decreload" that people are getting nailed on as this code was advertised on the Martin's poker webpage whereas "novreload" was

Martins CS tells people who mail them that decreload has been removed from their accounts and will not be paid. novreload is a valid Martins bonus and hasn't caused any problems for people who've cashed it out.

We won't know anything more until the decreload bonuses start to hit their 30 days.

wasn't > was

and I have had email from MP confirming that they are treating decreload as 'software defect' and not paying out on it (nm it was the worst of the 3 concurrent ones anyway, and as I've been running at 24PTBB there over first 700 hands at $200 NL I couldn't care less about it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

This is still the best bonus online. Dont let it keep you from playing there.

[MycroftX]

I've never played there, what are the games like?

Very soft at both limit and NL. However, limit tables are few and far between. It has plenty of players during the European peak hours, but very few during U.S. peak hours.

[kfellmy]

NL games are hella soft and tought to beat. Guys will call your 5 euro bet with 7-4 offsuit. When they hit two pair, and crack your aces, you feel like a retard.

European players are nuts.

Great NL 6 max selection considering size - I checked player nos. and tables available at $200 NL 6 max at various sites at 8.30 pm ET last Friday and B2B (Martin's) had the 4th highest no. of tables running despite only having 2300 players online!

For interest top three were Party (73k players, 53 tables), stars (70k players, 30 tables (had more full ring than Party though)) and Full Tilt (13k players) 24 tables.

Pokeroom, Prima, UB, Cryptologic etc all had less available than Martin's.

The games are full of aggro nutters - I have made a healthy 13.5PTBB over the first 1k hands and have also cleared the $240 novreload bonus (at 600 VIP) and split a $90 referral bonus with the guy who recommended the site to me. Both were credited at once. In 2400 ViP points time I get the $720 big bonus which is paid after 90 days - will definitely keep playing there. Also other B2B network sites have smaller bonuses too I think..

PT + GT+ work fine on it (no PO2 or PAHUD support as yet). You need to buy a handgraber for 7 euros. The guy who made it accepts transfers thru Martin's which is handy.

I have made over $1100 this week in 15 hrs playing at two small sites - Martin's and iPoker (Bet Fred) both of which have about 2k users - of course I am also gathering great notes and data on the players there (you can mine IPoker with PO2 which is free after 200 raked hands if you sign up to the Noble offer on PO2's webpage)- if you play a popular game like small/medium stake 6 max there is no reason not to explore these smaller sites now - soft competition and great bonuses..

[jmrogers7]

Sorry for my ignorance on this. I just looked at their site and I see what appears to be the 100% up to 600 Euros intial deposit bonus but they say the code for that is "novdeposit".

What are the specifics on the "novreload" bonus (% up to X Euros)? Is this one still active?

Also, am I to understand that I should NOT use "decreload"?

Lastly, how many points do you have to earn to clear the bonuses? I couldn't find that info on their site.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[kcheel]

The novreload is 100% up to 200, need 600 VIP's to clear. The signup bonus is 3000 VIP's to clear.

[excession]

at the $100 6 max NL tables 40% of hands were earning a VIP
at the $200 tables it's about 60%..

[jmrogers7]

Thanks!

I just read on another forum that someone tried the "novreload" today and it appears to be dead. Can anyone confirm?

the 'novreload' was over a long time ago. the original 100%/600EUR bonus is called 'novdeposit'.

[jmrogers7]

I was under the impression from this forum that the "novreload" which was supposed to be officially over was still working due to some glitch and that many people were still using it even up through the last few days.

Well then I must be really fortunate to get in under the wire, because it worked for me yesterday around 8 pm PST.

[excession]

lol, well I signed up last weekend, used novreload and got it last night - cashed out today - so it's not that long dead !

[bkholdem]

How long do you have to clear the 3000 points?

[_brady_]

So far the 2/4 tables suck ass. Hopefully they loosen up during European prime times, otherwise I might take a dive into the tons of NL tables going.
/images/graemlins/crazy.gif NL ring scares me.

90 days after 1st deposit

There seems to be a decent selection of Pot-Limit Omaha games available. Europeans have a reputation for being very good PLO players. However, I consider myself just a few steps above novice at PLO and I seem to do okay there. You might try it, if you prefer not to play NLHE.

[ubermensch2k]

what about PLO8??

[black_russian]

Just got done clearing the 3000 hands. Already got 200 from the deposit bonus "novreload" AND get 50 for doing 3000 hands in one month AND the the original 600 signup. THis was the best bonus ever! If anyone wants a referal, PM me....

[ImsaKidd]

I can give refer a friend as well. PM. RAF bonus is 25 euro for 200 VIP points.

[Muisyle]

I didn't get 50 for doing 3000 in a month...

[mdrudeen]

AFAIK it is over 3000 VIP points in one calander month (ie 3001 VIP points from December 1 - 31 nets you a free 50)
