Anyone know anything about this 100% up to 300$ bonus?

Don't know anything about them, except you can get a better
bonus at http://cardplayer.noblepoker.com

That will get you 100% up to $500. Bonus looks like a real bitch to clear though.

yeah there are bigger site specific bonuses out there. the play is incredibly loose at every limit I've seen, with average aggressiveness. there is usually 1 table of either 3/6 or 2/4, and sometimes a 5/10 table. also some 1/2 and below.

The bonus is based on VP$IP'ing, so it will clear MUCH quicker shorthanded.

multitables are handled in one window, in a tab format. dont multitable.

i play there.
bonus is 125 "crowns" per $10 released. you earn one crown per hand played (putting money into the pot, raked or not. blinds count) at .25/5, 2 crowns at .5/1, and 3 at 1/2 and above. per support you have until the end of June to clear, so plenty of time.

pros: the software is pretty fast and support is generally quick. my withdrawal took about 48 hours. soft players. cheap/free tourneys. soft players. can play 3 tables at a time. soft players.

cons: there is only one game window, so your three tables are stacked on top of each other, and if it's your play on a table that table gets bumped to the front. can lead to some inadvertent folds if you're trying to check the automuck on a different table. no way to export or save hand histories that i've found. NL is awful - you can only bet incrementally. IE if the blinds are 1/2, you can only raise in $1 increments. There was one day when there were some freakish errors on the site. In one hand I opened the betting on the flop, two other players called, and it forced me to call again for another small bet, which was basically an illegal raise. other players were having to go to a showdown when they were the only ones in the hand, etc. that led me to cash out all but $40, but i've built that back up to $400 with bonus clearing and soft players. they've upgraded the software since then and i haven't noticed anything glaringly bad since then.

basically, it's a nice bonus if you're a limit player. NL i'd maybe give it a shot, the bad players might make up for the stupid betting structure.

Is there stud? Because then putting money into the pot is eeeeeeeeeeeasy.

Nope. Just hold 'em and Omaha.

Support is great. But although the software is much better than it used to be, I still wouldn't call it quick. You get about 50 hands/hr at a full table.

Overall, I would say that the only reason to play at Noble is the terrible players. It's very much like Pacific in that regard, except that Noble doesn't have the same selection of games. (There often isn't a game going higher than 2/4 during the day. At night, there will usually be one table of 3/6 or 5/10 going, but often not both.)
