thisnamedoesnfit,

you mind sharing some of the wisdom that you have today?

[sunnycalifornia]

also, i checked pokersavvy and they also no longer offer any US bonuses

[thisnamedoesntfi]

That's a bit tough accepting no US players at all, wow. I had my first taste of that with Carbon Poker and Bet Fair knocking me back (I'm an Aussie). Was disappointing because Carbon looked to have some good deals. They do accept U.S players though.

i hope you a good player. clearing bonus at absolute and ub at smaller limits virtually impossible and then some.

chasing bonuses not so hot if you likr me, whatever i clear i lose.........lol.

i dont understand the part where one gets money in pot as favorite. am i supposed to lose a ton doing this?

if im 90% favorite, does it mean i lose 25% the time?

[Komodo]

Yes. Poker is all about reading the deck.

I just checked the PSO website, and it certainly looks like they're allowing Americans to sign up for the PokerStars promo.

Many of the bonuses you list are either not available to Americans (the iPoker and OnGame bonuses) or are among the worst on the Internet (pretty sure nobody offers a worse bonus than UltimateBet).

[Bobo Fett]

Yeah, I'm really not sure where Sunny is getting this from. I've never heard of PSO cutting Stars for Americans, nor of Savvy having no offers for Americans.

[sunnycalifornia]

well what I mean by PSO not having any more offers is that their offer for PokerStars is to earn PSO points and then exchange them for gifts like gift cards. if thats what you guys mean? they only offer additional bonuses (bonus on top of signup bonus) for Absolute and UB

as far as bonuswhores, should I just follow all their recommendations based on the limits/type of game/type of bonuses I want?

Some problems with your plan.

A fair number of rooms on your list, you can't play at.

Its also going to take you a lifetime to get to the end of step 3. We are talking 3-4 months assuming your not playing too high of stakes and your not playing more hours then humanly possible.

You also need rakeback at fulltilt and ultimate bet. Make sure you do your research, and if in doubt even PM me and i'll help you out.

Once you get to a 1k roll send me a pm and i'll help you get in the right direction. Assuming your starting with $50 i can almost guarantee you won't get far down that list unfortunately.

Have a nice day.

Well the PSO points you get for Stars is a [censored] bargain lol.

$120 for 250 points. This is what you need to understand. The bonuses you talk about clearing are insanely high (for the most part) in terms of raked hands per dollar. PSO offers basically make good bonuses great and bad bonuses worth doing.
