250 pokerroom SnG's down (played on a mac laptop), and I've taken out my profits, thrown in a little of my own money, and theres a brand new pc with a monitor capable of 1600*1200 in front of me.

Anyway, I'm going to buy in at both party and stars, give both of them a go, and start 4 tabling, initially at 10+1, but aiming to move up as soon as I'm bankrolled for it. All I need are the deposit codes etc. for the new accounts. If theres a referall system or something like that, I'm happy to give someone on the forum a free bit of cash, as a collective its made me a fair chunk of money.

I realise this probably isn't the right forum, but as the forum I view the most frequently, I think I can trust the responses. PM me (or just post) if you can help me out...

cheers

i think the zoo will have better responses to this (internet under general gambling on the left).

just out of interest, why play in party. for me the extra 700 chips and the same blind structure means that while speed of game is lower, so is the variance suffered (i dont get forced into playing a hand such as A3s as i otherwise might).

i think stars deposit bonus is done automatically on your first buy in (if i remember correctly) and for party you can do the same for their standard bonus, however i think there may be better out there offered by affiliates in the zoo. rakeback may be of interest to you, although it officially doesnt exist. 4 tabling at a 1$ fee times how many games you play a week will mean a LOT of lost revenue in rake. some affiliates out there may be able to accomodate you if you play in empire.

Here's an affiliate link for EmpirePoker (http://www.empirepoker.com/index.htm?wm=1711621), which shares clientel with Party Poker and is therefore very juicy. That link gives me 20% of your rake or other money to the casino (e.g. 20 cents on a $10+$1 SnG). If you use it, i'll happily give you (or any other 2+2er) half back so that we both benefit.

if you cant find a trustworthy affiliate who will refund 20%+ of your rake back on empire your not looking hard enough

I am pretty sure that Empire's client base does not share SnG tables with Party, same as their multi-table tourneys. I could be wrong on this, but I know the multis are empire only. If I am correct for the large SnG base you need to try either Party or Pokernow.

Pokerstars does NOT offer a first time deposit bonus. Every 3 or 4 months they offer a reload bonus open to all players. You can work it off playing SnGs, but it goes pretty slow. I would suggest opening an account on Stars so they can email you when the next deposit bonus comes up. Or just check out the internet forum and they keep you up on all the bonus whoring to be done.

Thanks for the responses, and for the pm who's set me up with a rakeback deal. All set to give these new sites a run now...

cheers
