Help need to start over building bank roll

[steelcmg]

Well i had some problems and had to cash out my intire bankroll. I have 100$ to start over with again. But i can not figure out how to start since i have done alot of the easy to clear signup bonuses. I really dont want to sit there and grind it out till i get to 500$ but if i have to i will. Anyone have any advice on what i can do to bring my bankroll back up.

[joeski19]

Have you done all the Prima's? Sporting bet etc?
Hit the Crypto Monthlies.

[thing85]

You might want to give us some more info, like what sites you've already played at (and took advantage of deposit bonuses) and what limit (or NL) you play at.

[steelcmg]

Well i was playing at 1/2 before i cashed out but with my bank roll so small im going to go back to .25/.50 limit. I have cleared bonuses at Party, absolute, Pokerstars, UB, Pokerroom, Paradise, WH, Interpoker theres a few more but cant think which ones. I would really like to start playing loose games that the bonus will clear easy. I hate playing rock gardens. So are thre any sites that offer this to me and i can make atleast 50$ off my 100$ deposite?

[HRFats]

Maybe just MAYBE the Boss Media bonuses are still a possibility. I cleared my three sites last fall so it's possible they no longer allow the low limit (.1/.2 I believe) games. They were super loose and cleared pretty easily and only required a $20 deposit. They DO require contributed rake for the hand to count but most everyone that played the bonus ended up ahead.

i cleared sportingbet in december at nl $10 and doing right now casino.net at nl $10 & nl $25. the software sucks, though.

[Kriber13]

If you played 1-2 and made some money I suggest you borrow 400 from your grandmother, and after that you can hit the old party skins excellent boni, and also cryptologic.

100 bucks is to little to whore with so is 500 but it's doable at least.....

Good luck, Kristoffer

Be sure to double check availability if you look at the Sportingbet and other Boss Media sites - I believe some of the signup bonuses have been pulled.

This is THE bankroll building guide for poker.

If you are a winner, use some credit......It is hard to play and make a good hourly rate at .25/.50 the lure of bonus money should be of utmost concern. You have to spend money to make money.
example 1000.00 on a credit card for one year cost = $236 in interest for one year at 20%.

Do the math with bonus and rake back and play a level you can do this at with ease. I am assuming you are +?BB/100

Start with the Crypto hourly bonuses (William Hill, Total Bet, UK Betting. and if you're not in the US Ritz Club) They require playing 1/2, but it's an easy 25 pounds ($45) at each one.

Taking out credit to play poker is a recipe for disaster.

the cryptos. If you hurry up you can get 130 bucks off a 50 dollar deposit. Sun poker and most of the skins i think give you a 50 dollar deposit bonus plus a 40 dollar monthly bonus. They will clear concurrently. 250 raked hands clear both. Then when febuary hits you can clear the next monthly for another 40 bucks. So that's 130 in a weeks time. They clear alot slower at the micros( i think you will need about 1k raked hands) but it is still doable. Don't forget to get rakeback.

[Reptile1]

I think whoring bonusses and building a bankroll is perfectly doable with a 100$ bankrool.
First Prima:
Golden riviera signup 50% to 50$ 5xraked.
Wild Jack poker Signup 50% to 50$ 5xraked
CrazyPoker 10$ on signup, 40% to 40$ 5xraked + 33% rakeback
Nordicbet signup 50% to 50% 5xraked (no neteller)
Nordicbet also have a 50% to 100$ reload offer until end january
Pot has to reach 5$ at these sites to count as a raked hand but they can be played at 25/50.

With some luck you have 300$ after that, and you are probably safe to whore the cryptologics hourly bonuses.

And then there are signup bonuses at Betfred, Pokerrewards, Bowmans, Englis Harbour, No1poker just to mention some that arent so well known but still good, although not as god as the 4 I mentioned above.

For some reason I forgot the most obvious bonus:
Bet365 signup: deposit 50$ get 100$ in bonus. Prima 5x raked like the others.

A bit risky with a 100$ bankroll in my opinion

steelcmg,

Have you thought of casino bonus whoring? There is a great guide here:

http://suckout.blogspot.com/2004/12/beginners-guide-to-casino-bonuses.html

Basically, it's an easy $1,000+ for grinding blackjack. It takes around a month to complete. Just do exactly as the guide says and don't get stupid and bet more than the minimum.

If you have already signed up at all the casinos in the guide, you should take advantage of the Crypto monthly bonuses:

Will Hill: 100% match up to $40, $800 WR, monthly
InterCasino: 100% match up to $100, $2500 WR, monthly
TotalBet: £25 bonus for £500 WR, monthly
UKBetting: £25 bonus for £500 WR, monthly
Littlewoods: £50 bonus for £1000 WR, monthly

The above bonuses have a total +EV of about $280, take about 15 hours to complete, and you can do them each month. Just make sure you do some cover play so you don't get tagged as a whore and have your bonus priveleges taken away /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

See the guide to monthly bonuses here:

http://suckout.blogspot.com/2004/12/monthly-casino-bonuses.html

I have found this is a great way to make some extra bucks with a lot less variance and uncertainty than poker.

While grinding blackjack pretty much sucks ass, doing these sign-up and monthly bonuses is a good way to put together a poker bankroll.

[steelcmg]

No i have never tried a casino bonus i was always scared of them. I think i would try it since it seems to be +EV. Ill see what i can do with that thanks.

Play tight on one table for five hours (LHE 10-max) and as tight as these tables are there is very little risk. Get stupid and wild and yeah, very risky.

You do need to use caution when whoring casinos; unlike online poker rooms, there have been many disreputable casino gaming sites out there. You can find healthy blacklists here:

http://wizardofodds.com/blacklist
WizardOfOdds is a long-running web site with great details on proper play for various games; well-respected and has a detailed blacklist.

http://www.gamesandcasino.com/blacklist.htm
GamesandCasino is a referral/affiliate revenue place, but it maintains an extensive blacklist, so it's worth noting. (I hope the mods allow this link here.)

Any time you're considering a new site/bonus, always google the site and the word "blacklist" to see if a reputable site has a warning about it.

i did a quick one week casino whoring and here are my results:

Casino On Net - 200 deposit, 200 bonus = ended up with 395 (+195)
PlanetLuck - 100 deposit, 100 bonus = 160 (+60)
StarLuck - 100 d, 100 b = 180 (+80)
Bet365 - 200 d, 200 b = 245 (+45 dealer just wouldn't lose here :/ )

that's $380 for about a week's "work." not bad considering i must've spent only 2-4 hours on each site (flat-betting $2 and doubling up after a win then going back to $2 again until i lose.)

i'd do more casinos but it's just so god d*mn boring!

[TheGardener]

Getting up to a couple thousand is definately possible starting with only $100.

I started with $100 back in late August, and have built my way to $2300 as of now. I know its not very much to all of the high rollers here, but not too bad for a guy who plays 5-10 hours a week

Go check out my blog for the stories on how I did this
