Adventures in Bonus Whoring pt II: Adios Paradise

[J_Treez]

When last we checked in with our valiant hero (me, damn it!) he was a piss ant .5/1 Stud and Hold 'em player with a mere $200 bankroll. NOW, he's a piss ant Stud and Hold 'em player with a $460 Bankroll, thanks to eveybody's amigo Homer, the GRANNY code at Paradise, and a decent winning streak in the midst of some God awful Stud players. (end 3rd person theatrics)

Ok, it took me 5 days to clear this entire bonus two tabling mainly .5/1 Stud. Many claim to have cleared it way quicker, but I can't keep track of dead cards at more than 2 Stud tables. Regardless, I consider it a succesful and profitable venture. And it damn sure beats working at McDonalds or running cattle.

I'm thinking I'll play another day or two until I hit $500 (knock on wood...DOWNSWINGS GET THEE AWAY!) and then hit up Pacific for that %20 up to $500 bonus. Then, my main goal is to hit the %100 up to $600 bonus at Full Tilt.

QUESTION: Why doesn't anybody ever mention this bad ass bonus at Full Tilt? Is there a catch? Do they have a lot of action going on? Or is it just too obviously aweome to waste time typing about

Congratulations! Good start!

I think Full Tilt's bonus is really hard to clear. This is hearsay of course, as I haven't looked at it. Full tilt isn't yet supported by pokertracker either, and I think that keeps some of the data-whores (i coined a new type of whore) away. Me thinks bonuswhores.com has a review. . .

Let me know what u find out, and good luck

[J_Treez]

I'll let you know what I find out, on the condition I can steal the term "data whore". That's freakin' funny.

There have been several threads about the bonus at Full Tilt since its inception. It is more like a temporary (very good) rakeback deal than a bonus. It will take you several tens of thousands of hands to clear, but it releases in 10% increments. There is another 100% matching bonus at Pokermountain ($500 max) but Pokermountain does not have the playerbase to make this bonus worthwhile, and they have had problems with their cashout interface not working. If you want bonuses RIGHT NOW I would do the Intertops (party skin) 1st time signup bonus along with their reload bonus (reload bonus info is here: 2+2 post about intertops reload (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1782283&page=3&view=colla psed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1) )

Good luck whoring!

I don't know if you want to go to Pacific or Full Tilt. Pacific (if you're putting all your money in) is only 1 table max. If you had more money to put in another site it would be better. Full Tilt isn't good at all, I played 2/4 for a while but it was pointless and I just gave up. The players on Pacific are very bad though so that's a plus but the players on Full Tilt and Poker Mountain mentioned earlier are way tighter than other sites. Look on www.bonuswhores.com (http://www.bonuswhores.com) for different sites.

Additionally, if you haven't hit Party yet go there, if you have, they have a reload bonus on until Mar 2nd so go back.

[J_Treez]

Is there a code for the Party reload?

[liberation]

BONUSFEB or check the front page next time.

why would you submit yourself to such torture?

[J_Treez]

Thanks. I haven't played Party since Elvis was a truck driver, so sorry if that was a stupid question.

[J_Treez]

I didn't realize how tortous all that was, actually. Between Pacific being one table and Tilt not clearing a bonus until Halley's Comet comes around, it sounds like a crap idea now. Thank God for 2+2 or bonus whoring would be bonus Hell. Thanks a ton for the help and good wishes, ya'll.

4 tabling 50$ NL hold 'em it clears at about 8$/hr. YEECH!

do the crypto skins first, 90 for 90 450 raked hands at interpoker, 50 for 50 250 raked at pokerplex, and 5 british pounds/table hr at will hill, total bet, uk betting, and they're ALL MONTHLY!!!

absolute is another good place to whore- 35% up to 210$ i believe, clears at about the same rate as paradise.

of course, if you get to 500, do not pass go, go directly to party to get your 100$, then empire, then multipoker, and so on and so forth. your bankroll will thank you.


buuuuut... if you really want to build that sucker up fast, try going after the starluck, planetluck, reefclub, and casino on net casino bonuses.

[J_Treez]

I haven't hit the Cryptos up yet because of the PINS being mailed to you. I've moved once already this year, and just got the address for my new place, so I was worried about wasting time waiting for them.

I REALLY appreciate all the feedback on Full Tilt! I KNEW there was some kind of damn catch on that one.

[J_Treez]

I'm thinking about cashing out of Paradise tonight and hitting Party for the BONUSFEB code, after careful consideration and evaluating the advice I've received here.
I base this on the following points:

(1) The code is time based, and I already have an account at Party, so I'm comfortable there.
(2) I'm not comfortable playing casino games.
(3) I'm too close to $500 to fool with Cryptos, plus I'm in the middle of a move and just got my new address.(PIN phobia)
(4) Apparently Full Tilt and Pacific's 1 table SUCK.

Decent next move, or am I missing something?

Also, from now on, I'm considering myself a bonus PIMP.

[Synergistic Explosions]

One crypto, William Hill, doesn't require a pin #. So go get the 5 pounds an hour bonus there to check out the cryptos and see how you like them. Plus you will get another 50 pound bonus absolutely risk free at the casino side of it. So that's 75 pounds in bonuses for your 50 pound deposit. You just can't beat that deal right now anywhere.
