Building a bankroll (For newbies)

[Keiju]

Just wanted to know how relevant this guide is now, are these sites still profitable to play on for bonus' and do all the bonus' still apply (especially the GRANNY one for paradise poker, as im looking into clearing this one if the 50% on $200 is still applicable).
Thx in advance

A lot of the information is still very relevant. However there are parts that have become dated. The Granny bonus can still be found in the classified ads I do believe.

If you want more current information you need to look for the websites that are dedicated to poker bonuses like Bonus Whores, Ultimate Poker Bankroll, Bankroll Bonanza, etc. They all have good information concerning bonuses and I'm sure there are other sites out there as well.

The bonus on Interpoker ($90) has changed, you need to have 5x the amount of hands like you used to, but a raked hand is now considered one in which the rake is at least $1, so at least a $20 pot. hard to clear playing .10/.25 tables.

max I would want to play is .50/1 =[ I will probaly use that granny code on paradise for now anyway. Thx for replys

the interpoker/classic poker/carib sun bonuses are impossible to clear at any limit lower than 2/4. the pot has to be 20 bucks to be considered raked, and there's no way you'll get enough hands on any lower level.

pokerplex hasnt followed suit yet, still 50 bucks for 300 hands PLAYED (not raked) at the 1/2 level or above. easy to clear in about 2-3 hours.

some of this seems to be a bit confusing considering the stakes necessary for the hands to be considered raked would often times be putting your whole bankroll on the line.
if someone can post the stakes for some of the sites for hands to be considered raked I'm sure not only I but also alot of individuals would appreciate it. Also I was just looking at casino.net and I didn't even see a hold em section.

The GRANNY bonus was a breeze to clear at .5/1, and would go much slower at .25/.5

I just did it at the beginning of July.
Tables are slower than PokerStars but I like the site, I left some of my $$ there when moved on and I keep going back.

How many raked hands do you have to play to clear the $100 bonus for GRANNY at paradise?

1000 raked hands.

I don't think you can still get a 100 bonus from Paradise, just $50. But it is 100 hands and they release 10 bucks of your bonus...so 500 total.
