Hi.

I was going to join Stoxpoker today but just noticed you can get 12 months membership as a bonus through PSO. Is it really as simple as just completing any poker room and they give you the full year as $270 of value seems pretty sweet, or am I missing something? If so, which room would you recommend I do? I already have accounts at UB, titan, stars and party from their list. I probably would't be planning on staying there after completion of the bonus as I already have existing account's with RB elsewhere so misggin out on 'better' RB deals wouldn't be an issue.

Cheers,

Matt.

Bodog clears super easy as does the Hollywood poker . Both offer the Stoxpoker membership.

Thanks.

I think it will be Hollywood then as the Bodog softwarte makes my brain hurt.

How long does it roughly take 4 tabling .25/.5 NL 6 Max?

I played a mix of 25PLO and 50PLO and I can only tell you it took like no time at all. 225 points on Hollywood is total rake, that you contribute to, of $225. So if avg rake is 50 cents its 450 hands. Plus they have 6x first deposit bonus and that's not a bad bonus to clear either just quietly.

And presumably the whole deal with PSO with the 12 months membership went hassle free as well? How long did you have to wait after completion for it?

Cheers.

I can't recall exactly how long mine took, but I'm sure it was within a few days or less, and hassle-free. This is a FANTASTIC deal, and I'd highly recommend it.

Any suggestions for US based players who can't do Hollywood?

Looks like either Cake, Carbon, or Wingows (did Bodog long ago)

Carbon clears ass fast!

Hi. I finished it in less than 4 hours or so table play and applied for it on PSO but Hollywood have blocked my account for no reason (read: 'random security investigation') the [censored]!

So probably wouldn't reccommend Hollywood because they are lieing pieces of [censored] but the bonus is still pretty good.

I've had nothing but good experience with Hollywood Poker. Maybe it is just a random check?
