The Pacific Poker web site has the following bit of information:

-----------------------------------------------------
Pacific Poker Bonus Policy states that:

The Initial 25% Deposit Bonus, up to $50, will not be applied in conjunction with any other offer or promotion.
All Bonuses may be Cashed Out only after an amount totaling no less than twenty (20) times the Bonus amount received has been wagered (i.e. a $50 Dollar Bonus must be wagered in a total amount equaling no less than $1000).
--------------------------------------------------

My question is as following. Say I play a reasonably tight game at 50c/$1 level in a full table, if I deposit a maximum of $200 (and hence obtain a bonus of $50), could anybody provide me an estimate of how many hands I would need to play the clear the bonus requirements entirely?

Your response is much appreciated and awaited. Thanks.

Hello,

I tried their site and it was very slow. The games were good and for that I would recommend it, but it would take you forever and a day to wager $1000 playing .50/1. A rough estimate would be something like

You see 25% of flops

For each flop you see, you put an average of $2 in the pot
You are dealt 40 hands an hour (it is very slow, but this is just a guess)

With that, it would take 100 hours to clear the bonus. I was able to do it in one night playing shorthanded $3/6 and a little $8/16, but even then, it took over 3 hrs.
