I didn't realize how grueling this Eurobet reload would be...

[KSOT]

I've played my usual amount of sessions per day for over a week now and I just now cracked 500 raked hands. I've got forever and a day 'till I hit the 2000 required.

Boy am I glad I didn't try to tackle that shady Empire offer.

[mattw]

ditto on both statements.

[El Barto]

You must have short sessions or be single tabling if a week's worth of play has only netted 500 raked hands.

[mattw]

~1600 hands, ~725 raked towards bonus. this is at 25NL.

[TrickyTree]

Heres a quick tip on how i did it.

Play 50nl. The reason for this is the fact that its the lowest limit where if only the 2 blinds play against each other a raked pot is created (its $0.05). More often than not the small blind will not fold and a rake is created. This allows you to clear the bonus far quicker without putting too much of your bankroll at risk.

good call, so true

[Innocentius]

I'm clearing it playing .5/1 6-max, and I'm getting at least 150 raked hands per hour (4 tables). This is 15$ an hour, which is fine by me. And the games are excellent.

[CLC]

Hmmm...I must have hit the right tables last nigt. Playing Empire 20x and Multi 20x. 4 tables each, 25NL full, 4.5 hours, 1681 hands played and 952 raked, 56.6%.

My average for the month seems to be running about 58%. Not the 72% that I saw in September, but still ok.

[KSOT]

I just tried to step up the pace by multi-tabling.

4 tables of .50/1.00, over 100 hands on each.

Added about 150 raked hands...

If you must play there and clear a bonus try this play the $100 NL 6MAX's and the bonus will be cleared easily in 2 solid sessions or one very long session. This is 4-tabling of course.

[Bradyams]

I two tabled some $25 PLO for about two hours on Sunday, then after that I 4 tabled 1/2 6max for about an hour. I'm over 350 raked hands. You must be one-tabling or something.

Aren't raked hand %'s about the same at NL50 and NL100 now that they rake $1 pots?

I dont know I play $100 and $200 6MAX.

If you choose to enter the rocky environs of Party SkinLand just to clear a fast $200 Bonus I would 4-table $1-2 LHE 6MAX or $3-6 LHE 6MAX or 100 NL 6MAX. I think the $200 NL 6MAX games would be too tough .The $3-6 games may also not be worth it.

You want to play at a limit where its not all rocks and you get some type of hourly earn no matter how poor the games are ...you can clear the $200 bonus in one very long session 4-tabling.

I made a deposit for the $200 EuroBet bonus last week ..but I havent worked it off yet. It doesnt expire until Nov.17.

[alimomoney]

Since I hadn't gone skinning since the breakup, I played it safe (ie like a wuss)and only played for $100 of the Euro bonus. It was pulling teeth to get it using my typical party/skin bonus tactics.

Sites I have played at with no current intent (bonus or nor) of returning as of this posting:

UB
Intertops
Multi
Eurobet
Empire

I cleared it in about 3700 hands at 1/2 full. Not too difficult at all.

SD is lower at these tight tables, so if you got at least 200BB for 1/2 and are a proven winner at .50/1 full, you should take a crack at this for whoring purposes. Any swing of more than 50BB downward should have you running back to .50/1, though.

Averages for all players worked out to be 20/7/??. That is, tight and aggressive preflop.

Get out your copies of HPFAP, whores. This was by far the most instructive bonus I've ever cleared.

[alimomoney]

And the UB/skins combo used to be where I did almost all my play some months back. Now they get none. I have been playing Paradise the more the past weeks chasing the $million tourney. Business has picked up. But they still have the same problem with the software that's been there for years where parts of the screen turn to random blobs and I have to minimize the table and bringit back to see what's going on. And sometimes that isn't good enough. And their note system which used to be #1 (back when they were the only guys doing it) now isn't good enough. (I want to know if I have a note without having to hover over the oval. Yes, I AM THAT LAZY.)

cleared it in 3,413 hands at 1/2 6 max......players avg stats 31.12/10.15/.../...

sure the games may not be as much fun as they used to but careful table selection will see the skins bonuses cleared almost as good as previous and are still worth doing(except empires 1,000,000x one)

for some reason, there are still lots of fish there and they seem to congregate around the 6 max tables.....im not complaining tho /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I second that. This is the first time I've felt like I am at tables full of players predominantly equal and better to me (I play .50/1 and 1/2). I got absolutely killed on the PLAYOCT Empire bonus, because I had never played with tables full of TAGs. Finished the 1000 RH down about 60 BB at 1/2, before the bonus.

Now, with this Eurobet reload, I've completely changed my game, becoming much more unpredicable, somewhat more aggressive preflop, and a little tighter on limping. I'm now through about 1600 RH, down about 10 BB.

I feel like I've made major improvements. Now I feel ready to try 2/4 on Party.

It's gotten pretty bad. I was playing NL 6max today and all five of my opponents at one of my tables agreed that the SB would complete if folded to no matter what, lol. They got pissed because I wouldn't take part, so I left.

[hellite]

Yes. This bonus SUCKS! I just cleared it yesterday. Euro rarely has more than a couple limit 3/6 games going so I decided i'd play some 2/4. My goodness. Some terrible players, but the agression and preflop raises were off the chart. Really unbelievable. It took me about 5,000 hands to clear the 2,000 requirement. I am definitely done playing cards at euro. I think i'll stick to their virtual sports gambling over there.
