View Full Version : Help; where to play limit with 150$


12-05-2005, 02:53 PM
I'm gonna deposit 150$ and it would be nice with a bonus. I belive it would be better to wait with rakeback to i play a higher limit(?)

-I'm gonna play full ring fixed limit 0.25 / 0.50
-The site have to work with pokertracker and gamtime+ (auto import)

I'm greatfull for any help. Thank you.

but it seems to me that 0.25 / 0.50 is to low to earn bonus-points.

Go to BET365 and do the signup. They give you 100$ in free chips for 500 raked hands. As far as I know the signup can be played at any limit.

carribean sun. $40+50 bonus. Takes a lot of hands to clear, but there are some lots of fish to make it profitable.

you have to play 1/2 (2/4?) which requires a bigger BR.

I think this is only for the monthlies, no reqired limit for the signup

I thought the signup was $0.50-$1 but I can't swear on it.

12-05-2005, 04:06 PM
Better ask support, but there is no mentioning of a limit in the terms and conditions.

its just 150$ don't worry about bankrolls and such. just play 1/2 or 2/4 if you go broke, which isn't super likely if you are a good player, who cares its not like you are trying to feed your family off that play. just save up another 150 and try again.

there are times to be risk adverse, and i don't know your situation, but if you honestly have 150$ to invest in poker, then this probably isn't one of those times.

FYP

Do yourself a favor and ignore this advice. Stick to .25/.50

(Sorry. Seeing people type risk adverse makes me cringe.)

NIT!

i mean,

RISK ADVERSE NIT!

seriously though, i am right... unless you shouldn't be gambling with 150$ in the first place (ie you are pretty much broke/living above your means)

thanks for the help. what about fulltilt?

This is still bad advice, though. A bankroll is a bankroll even if it is $150. If that's what someone has set aside for poker, they should do what they can to protect it and make it grow.

I started with $50 or $100 ~2 years ago and play for a living now. At no point along the way did I risk my bankroll playing limit with less than 40BBs.

Paradise
Bet365
Boss/IPN network
Ultimate Bet

Bet365 is probably the easiest to implement Pokertracker. I really don't think you need a HUD at 25c/50c limit, everyone sucks there.

bankrolls are total nonsense unless you are playing for a significant portion of your income. all right thats my argument and to win this debate i will need to do what all must do to win an internet debate, back up my claim with a logical fallacy.

here you go: players much smarter and better than me agree with my assessment so you should too.

Geez read UltimatePokerBankroll.com 's BR building guides and you'll turn it into $500 in no time. Their new one Linemakers is easy too.

not for bonus whoring

12-05-2005, 05:55 PM
Go to bet365 with the 150 bux and play .5/1. I cleared the first months bonus easily. I deposited 150 bux on there less than 2 weeks ago and already have run my account up to $380, and I have played between 1000-1500 hands. I cleared the bonus at .5/1 too. very soft play, although you do have to wait a couple of days for support to clear your bonus sometimes. I don't know if .5/1 works for the monthly bonus, as I am still waiting for support to get back to me. Hope this helps

12-05-2005, 06:06 PM
I still think you can play the sign up at any limit, but of course it will be harder to get raked hands at .02/.5. For the monthlies the conditons are clearly stated as 1/2 for limit and.5/1 NL.

Play .25/.50 at a Prima site, incredibly soft from what I remember. If you don't have a Party account, then they have beginner tables where you can clean up.

Don't expect to clear much in the way of bonus this way.

There's a bonus guide at BW, and that should give you more direction, but I'd recommend building at least $600 the old fashioned way (winning) before going whoring. It's better to learn to win before learning bad habits whoring.

get a party account and grind out 2x tables of .5/1 BEGGINER tables w/a sign up bonus and if you are a good player there is about 0 risk.

As Roundest stated ignore most off the advice in this
thread! do the three boss site's casono.net,sporting bet
and sporting odds.(do a search for Boss in this forum for
more info). That should put you at $450 assuming you break
even.

Then do the bet365 sign up which has to be played at .50/1
and .25 has to be raked. If you don't mind playing 1/2limit
or .50/1 no limit then do the reload. Don't do Party untill
you have $500 to play with!

Go thru the old posts on this forum for a lot more info!

Manage your bankroll properly, and assuming you can play, you'll rarely have to worry aout going broke.

300BB is the rule. Bonus money is nice, but can quickly move you up into a limit where you are outmatched. Outmatched + small bankroll = broke.

Poker isn't a race. There shouldn't be any pressure to perform, only to play well.
