Building a bankroll (For newbies)

[hudat]

Great post Homer. As far as the secondary posts go, I would recommended Pokerroom before UB and Pacific. UB's takes forever to clear and there are tougher players then Pokerroom and Pacific's software sucks....just one whore's opinion.

I'd add that before even playing any poker sites, the IGM Media casino sites are good ones to bonus whore with $100. They still offer the matching $100 when you deposit at Starluck, Planet Luck, etc, and the wagering requirement is attainable in a short amount of time. Yes, there is a slight risk of ruin playing BJ, but it's a pretty easy way to build a small bankroll in a short amount of time.

Homer,

Are you connected in any way with rakereturns.com? I am not trying to be rude, just interested.

Nope. FYI, I am also no longer affiliated with bonuswhores.com. I just don't have the time for it these days.

Starluck and Planetluck have a 0.33% ROR with $2 bets, so maybe they should go before poker.

I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to figure out the exact order whoring should be done in, including both poker and casinos. You should write it, call it the Ultimate Whoring Guide, and sell it as an e-book on e-Bay. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm not familiar with casino games - I've heard they're 90-100% luck (and that you're long-tern EV is always negative!) so i've avoided them. Does it make sense for me to try to casino whore (in other words, are the bonuses lucrative enough), or should I stick to poker?

So that Homer doesn't have to spam us:

Yes, there are casinos where the bonus is larger than the average expected loss you will see while clearing the bonus.

Great post. Thanks.

Does anyone know anything about the 90/90 bonus offered at Interpoker? I played about 480-500 hands and the 90 bucks showed up in my acct, but I can't withdraw it or play with it. Is there a time hold on it, or for some reason did my hands not count? And if my hands didn't count, can I play the rest of them and collect the bonus this month, or is it forever lost and I have to deposit another 90 and play another 450?

Just curious if anyone knows how this all works.

Interpoker -> $90 for $90 bonus - 450 raked hands
Poker Plex -> $50 bonus - 300 raked hands
Caribbean Sun -> $40 bonus - 250 raked hands
William Hill -> $25 bonus - 5 hrs of play

I got a question. Do players actually have to be playing? What if I'm sitting out, do they still take the rake into account for me?
