How far along is your party bonus?

[JoshuaD]

I need some motivation to get this bonus cleared as quickly as possible, so I figured a 2+2 competition would help.

Right now I've got 465 raked hands cleared. 935 more to go.

Anyone stay up all night and clear it? Anyone ahead of me in clearing it?

[zuluking]

This topic is useless.

Oh, and I just went past 100 hands.

I never said it wasn't.

But you're just jealous because I'm ahead. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Thythe]

If I was still at school instead of at home, I would probably have it cleared by tonight. Instead, I'm only 200 hands in.

[Superfluous Man]

424 after 2-3 tabling 2/4 for 4 1/2 hours last night. Hopefully I can 4-table the rest away this afternoon and tonight (I was going to go drinking, but I'm now sick as a dog; thanks bacteria and viruses!). I have to finish it by Saturday night, as I'll be going back to my parents' house for vacation, and I don't want to use their trojan/spyware infested turd of a computer to play poker. Then, I can deposit $600 into 'stars, get their bonus and clear it at my own leisure. I like my plan.

[ezinestein]

Hey!

I spent last night thinking about it... and because I only single table... I decided to deposit only $500. In my case... I knew that having to clear 1400 raked hands would ruin my 'week before Christmas'.

Hated leaving that extra $100 on the table though.

oh... and I'm about to start in 5 minutes. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Merry Christmas!

Kindly,
EZ

Jesus, who are the other 2? I gotta stop limping with 58s at this table.

[zuluking]

Norris for sure. Cactus and keembot are "likely" since they have the numbers.

Darn, shouldn't have capped that AQ vs norris then.

[zuluking]

Nope! Good luck to ya, the main fish left so I'm gonna drop my line in another pond.

[mmbt0ne]

I just did a 565 hand session, so I'm a little over 700 right now. I definitely noticed a ton of 2+2 play at the 1/2 tables. Add this to my first time 4-tabling (2001fp came today) and it was quite the experience.

Total for the session: +$7.56 blah

I'm having a great run at these .5/1 tables. Up about 120$ after 550 cleared hands. Maybe you should drop down to get used to 4-tabling and to clear?

[Rah]

I think I'll wait a few days until the smoke clears. I'm a bit afraid of the excessive amounts of good players the first days of a bonus.

[Rudbaeck]

0 raked hands, slow slow Euroslowbet takes forever to run their friggin collusion checks before allowing me to cash out.

[Muisyle]

450 hands... down $2.30

Was up $50 then this...

Can't believe he called... fall in love with top pair much?

[mmbt0ne]

Yeah, I always seemed to hammer .50/1 during these bonuses. Maybe between that and 4-tabling it'll be good to make a repeat appearence.

[EliteNinja]

Zero.
I just deposited and am eating breakfast (Yes, it's 12:30pm PST).

[phixxx]

412 for me :O

[JoshuaD]

up to 750.

It's my and Cynthia's aniversary today too. I guess her present is to let me finish this bonus before coming over. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[BradleyT]

Haven't even deposited yet.

[Yobz]

Deposited early (like 12:45 this morning) but still haven't played a hand. Probably going home from college tonight and taking my computer with me. Will play lots on Monday once my gf flies back home.

[EliteNinja]

527 raked hands.

Lost $62 at 1-2, though =(

[Tosh]

Did 1000 this evening, I'll finish the rest in the morning.

[MicroBob]

You guys playing the .50/1 do realize that not all of those hands are raked, right??

Just making sure you don't stop at 1400 total hands without realizing that you still will have more to go.

The counter only counts raked hands. Plus, if you find a table with an avg pot of 10+, most of the hands will be raked.

I'm about to deposit now....it "DECBONUS" right?

[Allinlife]

800

[WSOPWinner2005]

800 as well here ...

BTW, Mentioned it in another thread - 90% sure ANY NL pot raked even at .05 counts towards the raked hand requirements..

75/100 hands are counting as raked in NL $25. Keep in mind they don't rake until there is some sort of action post flop or more people see flop then blinds etc.. so that could easily count for the 25 % of hands not counting.

[Prime Time]

411 down need to get to 1400 for the 2 C notes.

[Oilcan]

Not going well

326 raked of 617? on 2-4 WTF??????????

I wish I had only deposited 500 now. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[LLXC]

Wow, he snuck in a bad beat post. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[WC64]

I havent started yet /images/graemlins/frown.gif, waiting for my money from ultimatebet to hit my neteller. I wish it would hurry up.

[thirddan]

i got 250 hands to go /images/graemlins/frown.gif

my stupid roommates are making me go to an end of the semester party, cuz i didn't go to last nights end of the semester party...i will finish the bonus when i get home...

[LondonBroil]

0 raked hands so far. I'm depositing on Sunday so I have the most amount of time to complete the requirements. I'll let that statement sink in for awhile....

[NoChance]

Completed the bonus about 90 minutes ago.

[ripped]

I know people who were done clearing this at about 5pm est.

[JerseyTom]

560 out of 1400 (exactly 40%) after a few hours of 3-tabling 1/2 (won $56.38 in the process too...).

[Lucien Jacky]

Finished last night playing 2/4 and 3/6 bad beat. Ended up 450 withe the bonus. I only got 176 because I could only scrap together 860 out of neteller without my crypto pin. Do I still get my wonderful hat or do I need to play 100 more hands.

Cheers

[Onaflag]

700 tonight 3 tabling 1-2 and I'm up around $50 to boot. I'm thinking of shoving a couple toothpicks in my eyelids and going for the final 700, but "bed" sounds a lot more comfortable.

Onaflag........

[JoshuaD]

I'm up to finish my last 600 hands. Here's hoping I don't piss that 185$ I made yesterday away.

Ditto. I've had two exams this weekend to do and I need all the time I can get to pump out those hands.
