Im gonna deposit at UB, how difficult are the bonuses to clear? Which site to you reccomend if not UB?

VERY hard to clear at low limits now that UB has halved the points per hand-dollar-of-rake.

Paradise is a great bonus as is Party.

UB bonuses are no problem if you play 3/6 or higher. However, it is not nearly as easy as clearing a bonus at Party , Paradise, or other sites that give up a point for every raked hand. At UB, you only get the full credit if the pot is over 20 dollars, compared to $5 playing the lower limit Party games.

If you are gonna play at UB I would recommend clearing the bonus at SnG's. They give 7 points for every $1 in tourney fee so it's effectively 70% rakeback on those.

As for playing full ring limit you can expect the following at Micros:

13.33 points /table/hour at $0.50/$1

21 points/table/hour at $1/$2

I haven't played any other limits there so I can't say with any certainty how the bonuses will clear at thosegames...

you get UB points for tourney fees (it's 6 per dollar, not 7) but they do NOT count towards clearing bonus dollars.

only raked real money ring games will clear bonus dollars.

Did not know that. UB gets more and more retarded the more I hear about them. Guess that's why I haven't played there in several months...

so if i deposit at paradise do they only offer 25% bonus up to $50?

I wouldn't say that. I play lower limits than what he's talking about and haven't had any problems clearing bonus at UB. Multi-tabling it 10-handed helps a lot, as does being the first or second to sit down at a table b/c of the % bump they give you in earning points.

Having said that, Party is definitely very easy to clear bonus at, too -- even easier than at UB, in my experience.

I knew you get 25% more points for being first at the table, but i wasn't aware you got anything for sitting down 2nd...
