Help me with Bonus Strategy for small stakes NL (25NL)

[dc_publius]

I am a new online player. I started about a week ago with $100 Instant Bonus promotion and played mostly 25NL at the Beginner tables. To minimize my exposure I would buyin for 1/2 buyin with willingness to step down if I ran bad. If I was getting tired I would also step down to 10NL. I also played one long session of 50NL (because it was very juicy). Anyway, my bankroll now stands at ~$415 and I want to exercise proper BR management as I build my roll and (hopefully) move up in limits.

At the same time, I also want to give myself an edge and increase my winrate by clearing bonuses whenever possible.

I would like to know which signup/reload bonuses are easiest to clear at 10NL/25NL and hope that this thread will become a resource for good small stakes bonuses.

My initial search and browsing bonus whores gives me a good start:

-Partypoker - IGMPAY - 20% upto $100 - clears at 5x (500 raked hands)

After I do IGMPAY, what should I do next? I'm interested in both signup/reloads... HELP! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Paradise; $100 bonus for $200 deposit.

Golden Riviera is easy at that level. Paradise definately. After that, I usually just go through bonuswhores and find any bonus that don't use contributed rake and are only like 5x or 7x.

If/when you decide to step up in stakes, BetFred's 100% up to $250 bonus is amazing. Stakes have to be at least .25/.50 (NL50) but a $250 deposit gives you $250 in bonus after 2500 raked hands (raked hand = a flop is dealt at NL50). It took me a while to clear because of casual play, but I was able to 3-4 table NL50 there and cleared their bonus easily. Their customer service is top-notch (live chat) and I have never been so pleased by a website (including Party!)

Good luck, I was in your shoes only a couple of months ago. Now I'm whoring Bet365poker, $100 bonus on $50(?) deposit, 500 raked hands ($4 pot = raked hand = .25 rake). Quick and painless and you can clear it (semi-slowly) at NL20 or very speedy at NL50!

There's a great reload code POKER4U for 20% up to $100 at party right now!

Say what? Is this account specific because I don't see anything on my account mentioning this bonus.

Hey mulebennet

I had $400 i was gonna deposit on betfred - i downloaded the software and loaded it up - didn't log in - cause i don't have a user yet - but i was able to see the tables listings. There was like 2.5k ppl playing on 280ish tables. And i couldn't see any tables running on .25/.50.. i just got a bad vibe about that site - i'm surprised by your post. It definately sounds like a juicy bonus though - but will i be able to find a game??

4$ pot equals 0.25 rake in bet365?
that doesn't sound so great, dspite the easy bonus.

how mcuh does it get raked when pot is 2$? what about 6?
