Re: What are you whoring this month?

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 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.

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.
