Full Tilt, UB Clearing Bonuses NL100

[pdoran10]

So I've got a very comfortable roll on stars for NL100 and im thinking about doing some bonus whoring at the end of the month at other sites on NL100.

Any ideas on how many hands it would take me to clear the full amounts for sign up bounuses on Full Tilt, UB and other sites?

I'm not sure about number of hands, but the bonus at FT cleared at a rate of about $20/hr when I was 8-tabling 6-max $100NL. Rakeback was probably worth another $250 or so during this time (lower than normal because the bonus is deducted from MGR.)

u can check bonuswhores for detailed charts...

according to them, 100NL clears $2.56 per hour per table...so u figure somewhere between 50-60 hands an hour...
so ur looking at least 12K hands total to clear the bonus...hope this helps...

UB is better, especially if you play alot, with the points for cash promotion you get 75% on top of the bonus.

Also, the hands get dealt faster at UB.

Plus only 25% of the bonus is deducted from rakeback while 100% is deducted at Full Tilt.

And, the ultimate reason, Full Tilt is rigged.

hey guys, thanks for the responses. It seems id be best off starting at UB, especially since i would have to do some work to make a new account at FullTilt (already signed up with an alternate name).

The only flaw in that plan is that there are significantly less tables (and people playing) at UB, compared to fulltilt. If you're planning on playing 4+ tables at a time, you'll have a hard time getting seats at good tables at UB.

Has UB ever verified when the points for cash promotion will end,or if it is permanent???

i emaild then a while ago, and they gave some indication that it wasn't going to end anytime soon...don't know if that means much or not coming from them though, but i'll take it as good news for the near future...

UB has the most annoying software I've ever experienced. Along with the HH problems and tables / HH windows popping up everywhere its a bitch to multitable on a smaller monitor than a 21". And Ive found there's a lot less tables / traffic than fulltil. On FT I can always find a few good tables, on UB there's like a maximum of 4 sweet tables ($50nl) whenever Im playing. So I dont what means more... RB/bonus or winrate...

Considering that they took the time to actually update the software so that the points conversion could be automated, rather than the email method when they first started it, it would seem to be safe to assume that it will be around for a while...

UB is one of the few sites i havent hit yet.With that promotion it seems like a good place for small stakes players to play,especially while clearing a bonus.I have to admit though,some of the recent posts about CS(or lack thereof) have spooked the hell out of me.
