What are you whoring this month?

[OrianasDaad]

Just putting out a feeler to see what people are working on right now, and for the next couple of weeks. I'm finishing out the EB bonus tonight or tomorrow and, let me tell you, at .50/1 full ring, it's been a bear to clear. I've been at HoldemPoker and PokerRoom with $1266 in bonuses since late October, and I'm seeking stuff with a little less playthrough requirements.

Here's my tenative schedule for the next few weeks, for play at .5/1 full ring.

streetlegalpoker.net (tribeca) - free $25
pokerroom (PR) 30% up to $200, cleared at 7x
doylesroom (tribeca) 35% to $135
AztecRiches (prima) 25% up to $50
PokerMetro (prima) 25% up to $50
wild jack poker (prima) - $50 - 5x
europoker (PR) 50% to $100
river belle poker (prima), 50% to $100 7x

These are the best I've seen, from perusing BW and various other sites, and are ranked according to hourly clearance rates (roughly) on BW website.

What are YOU whoring these days?

I don't whore much, but I just deposited for the sensepoker 1k euro bonus, and I'm pretty much loving it. Softest shorthanded nl games I've played in a while, along with a large 9x bonus.

PokerRoom bonus isn't worth it.

It is NOT 7x, especially if you're doing it at .5/1...don't waste your time.

The rake will kill you in the meantime.

If it's different than the EB bonus structure, then I might avoid it. As it is, I'm averaging about 3BB/100 between EB and HoldemPoker, about 60,000 hands or so. Actual hand totals are a bit sketchy since PT occasionally stops importing hands. Anyhow, I'm not terribly concerned about the higher rake (only in small pots), since I'm beating the game fairly well.

If I can clear 200 points a day, playing 1000 hands of .5/1, then I'll do it. I can get in 1200 hands a day if I press at it.

I will certainly track how the bonus at PR clears. If it's too slow, then I'll just withdraw and move on. I have no qualms about dropping a bonus for one that is better. I actually like PR, and with so many hands in at .5/1 these past four months, I have got some fantastic reads on many of the regulars.

The only reason I haven't been playing higher is because I've set some very strict bankroll requirements for myself, that will allow me to help out with a few bills here at home, and also encourage growth. 1000BB. I'm short right now, but 500BB at .5/1 should be plenty even for the rockier sites. My main goal for now is to get my bankroll to $2000, with a monthly withdrawal of about $300.

Sadly, I have made nothing (-11BB) this month through play, so half the EB bonus is gone already... but I can weather the downswings.

I really wish I was adept at either SH or NL. I can hold my own in a 6-max ring game, but my current bankroll strategy is variance adverse, so SH is no good for me for the time being. I've had some bad early experiences with NL, so I won't go there.

Once I'm playing 5/10 limit SH or full successfully, I'll dedicate a portion of bankroll to learning how to play NL. Right now limit poker is my game of choice.

I'll check it out, though.

[broncofan]

just finished my empire bonus, now i'm just trying to clear up some loose ends and finish my Interpoker and Martin's bonuses.
Next will be Ladbrokes and riverbelle

[Schwartzy61]

Absolute through the end of FEB...however much I can clear...

Then start out at Cryptos next month and hit all those...

Doyle's Room...clear the $135 bonus

Wild Jack...

Then back to Absolute to clear Bonus and Rakeback...

[midwestkc]

Did the Will Hill monthly today, along with the casino bonus, and finished my Absolute First deposit bonus. Finished Empire yesterday. Now time to decide my next direction. May check out BW101, or hope that a (non absolute) reload comes up soon, or I might clear the Paradise and Stars bonuses that I've got pending. I really don't know, we'll just see what way the wind takes me.

[WiSeIVIaN]

I am currently clearing a beautiful bonus at poker4ever, its 40% up to $200 7x (i used the bonus code MONEY4EVER, but im sure u could find a different one if you tried, though only 20% up to $100 is listed on site). Smalle site kinda, but soft games and awsome bonus....
Almost done, donno where i'm going next, might just grind some party for a bit...i donno...empire bonus drained me....

[MycroftX]

This site looks really nice, are there often 1/2 games available?

Nice lookin' sofware, I hope more people start to play there. Seems clearing a 7x bonus there wouldnt be bad. If anything slow because there might only be one table in your limit going.

Have you ever cashed out there before? Does it take a long time?

-whomever designed this site must be an Oakland A's fan.

[WiSeIVIaN]

I donno about 1/2 limit tables, but there were enough .25/.50 NL for this to be easy enough for me. Six hour cashout, hard to beat. Also if you somehow get i think 400 rake points by the 26th they have a $50,000 freeroll, so if your gonna do this bonus, You'd get a nice boost if you can play alot tomorrow. At any rate, have a nice day.

To cash this i would have to get 9000 VIP points in 30 days, is that right?
I couldn't see VIP points info on the site, any info on how you get them?
Cheers

Edit:
ok just found it 9000 hands, 4 tabling how long would that take me?
(i'm an SnG-er usually, so thats why i ask)

[BigBadBabar]

if sensepoker is the same as martinspoker then i think 9000 vips in 30 days is pretty much impossible. at least at limit, there aren't that many tables at all. there are lots of no limit tables but i'm not sure how fast it clears there. it took me a couple hours this afternoon to clear 200 pts at the limit tables, and that was at every available 1/2 full and 6m, plus some 2/4 6m and .5/1 6m /images/graemlins/frown.gif

ps. oh, i'm pretty sure that sensepoker one clears in chunks? so you'll still get part of it

Just cleared Interpoker $100, onto Paradise $100. Probably do Golden Riviera $50 after that and maybe think about trying the poker333 $333 after that (maybe).

Yep, just saw that one today. Looks like I'll be at PR for at least another month. Good thing I got LOTS of notes already, having cleared over $1200 at PR skins these past few months.

[TWINUNO]

The sensepoker clears in $100 increments.

[TWINUNO]

Pokerroom networks have been very good to me, i just need to figure out how to transfer all these notes through poker tracker? Anyone know a quick place to find this out?

What pokerroom Bonus????

The Bettson skin. There's a thread about it on this forum but I'm not sure how to link it to this one. It's 100% up to $600, 7x, 60 days. As soon as I get $600 into Netller I'm signing up. I think I might even be forced to let some other 10x bonuses lapse 'cause no way I'm skipping a 7x bonus of this size.

[Big Ray]

From the 1st of March therivercard.com will be offering a 100% deposit bonus up to $200.
Its part of the Tribeca network and is linked to the VC cage, so a VC player can use their current account. Ray

Two days into the PR $200 sign-up bonus (through BW), and I'm halfway through. That's not bad, especially considering how long it took to clear the EB one.

I guess that means the Bettson bonus will only take 6-7 days or so, since it's also 7x.

These bonuses clear ALOT faster at 1/2, IMO.

Just want to clarify, it is PokerRoom. I got the link from BW. I will also be doing the Betsson bonus, and then River Belle, if a PR skin doesn't offer something else at 7x.

$800 in a couple weeks is going to do good/great things for my bankroll.

PokerLoco...another PR skin $200 at 7X--25% first deposit bonus

Wow, I love these PR skins. I seem to be one of the few that isn't bugged by the software and the rake. CS is a little shaky, though, unless you get on the live chat where you can.

Edit: I must be turning into a true whore. I've even got a folder in my favorites titled "Sites I'm Going to Whore Soon."

Thanks again for the info... I'm going to have to find all the PR skins to make sure I don't miss any.

Locopoker says that their reloads are also 7x, which is a departure from the PR skins that I've seen, which are all 10x. Nice again.
