Hollywood bonus is great, but....

[TobiasFunke]

...the play is so incredibly nitty @ Ongame that it almost isn't worth it. $50 max NL tables with flop % of under 30%?

Truth be told, I am just as much a nit as the rest of them, but I want to be the exception. I don't exactly HATE playing against these types of players, as variance is very very low. In 5,000 hands so far I haven't been stacked once b/c players rarely want to put all their money in. But I would much rather play against opponents willing to get their money in with mid pair.

What do you all think? Do you stay away from Ongame and Absolute b/c they are such rock gardens? Or do you enjoy the steady profit that these sites allow as a result of great bonus percentages?

the tables get looser sometimes. they have a pretty good game selection at that limit. i mean if you can multitable and show a steady profit with little variance, that's not too bad for a bonus whore. if you're playing for pure bb/100, i think there are looser sites out there. bonus+rakeback at ongame isn't too bad though.

Are you playing FR? Ive never played FR there but their 5max tables are nuts and way more LAGG [not good lagg, just nuts reraise everything lagg] than any network Ive played at.

Tobias, I don't think the universe wants you to be playing at Hollywood. To play there, you have to have the heart of an angel, and the hide of an ele-phant.

Muffin....maybe you're right, I am certainly no Ivey, Juanda, or Pinkett-Smith.

Back on topic....maybe I am just being way too selfish wanting a great bonus, terrible player base and super software.

If you could combine, say, UB's interface with Party's player base and a 5-7x dealt bonus I think I would break down in tears.

That's true, I usually don't get stacked in tight games other than set on set stuff.

ub's interface makes me sick unless it's changed in the last year

Its not that bad. Keeping record of fishies helps alot. I just cleared 250$ (7x) bonus on PokerRoom and am thinking of moving to Hollywood through Bonuswhores.com. (Is there any better deal than the those at BW?)
I played mostly .5/1 full and 1/2 full. I got away with 2BB/100.

I enjoy the steady profit that these sites allow because rocks are easy to bully. Oh and yeah the bonuses are great too.

[Overdrive]

About two years ago I would always clear the pokeroom and their skins bonuses at limit or no limit hold em. There were some really bad players ther then, but it is a totally different world now. The last several Pokerroom bonuses I have cleard playing 7 card stud and pl omaha, it was just not any fun playing hold em there. Your mileage may vary...

As would every other bonus chaser and HUDBOT out there and soon the site would be just another nit place. And you would be longing for a site that had lots of fish and easy to clear bonuses.

Their Tourny's are pretty soft.
