Clearing a bonus on AP

Ice_W0lf · #1 10-15-2007, 10:32 PM

I'm signing up for the free $100 with poker source online..and i signed up for Absolute poker.. I get $50 deposited and then $50 in bonus money.. I do not plan on depositing and other money with this, so if I lose the original $50, oh well. I have no experience with AP and how their bonus system works, so I was wondering what would be the easiest way to clear the bonus? I'm a decent sng player and also a decent NL cash game player. Stakes arent that big of an issue, so i dont mind playing with short buyins and such. Any suggestions?

My main suggestion would be to not play at Absolute:

Please, for the love of poker, do not play at this site.

there are several threads here that say AP is rigged.... I say, do some research.

When you sign up just ask for account 363 and you'll never have to work again

I read about what happened in the 1k tournament on pocket 5's after I signed up for the account. The plan is to try and clear the bonus as quickly as possible and get the money off their by trading with someone that plays on Absolute still. So, other than getting account 363 (I asked they said only 364 was available, which enables you to see all hole cards, and then get rivered every hand) any suggestions. This is free money so I'm not worried about going broke or anything with it.

I've played on AP for a long time. While the most recent allegations are troubling, they were limited to high stakes tourneys, limit, and NL games. I don't think someone playing small or mediums stakes (or even high stakes now) has anything to worry about.

As a site AP has some excellent things going for it. It has very good software, good player promotions (the VIP program and frequent reload bonuses), reward points for cash conversions, rakeback at 30% contributed, and fairly soft games.
