Need some help on where to go/what to do next with my bankroll?

Augster · #1 10-12-2005, 07:49 PM

I've come up from PStars .05/.10. In less than 10K hands my roll is up to $700. I got the 100 in there from Paradise signup and I got the reload in there this month from Party.

Where do I go next?

I have only ever been signed up at those 3 places, Paradise, Party and Stars. So I think I have a lot of whoring to do.

I was thinking my next move was to hit up a rakeback deal and deposit on Empire, but since the breakup with Party, is that even worth it? I am playing $.5/$1 right now. Mentally I'm not ready to move up yet.

If you were in my position, what's next? Absolute? UB? I'd like to sign up with rakeback, and of course an easy to clear sign-up bonus. Although, if RB isn't that big a deal, then I'd like to go to the easiest site, i.e. biggest bonus/fewest raked hands + easy games.

I have a couple of days as my money leaves Party back to Neteller. What's my next move?

Thanks a lot guys for all the help!

Hi there. I'm not sure there's any way to do both the Empire signup and reload bonuses given time constraints and your bankroll... or whether it's worth it given the current game selection (I haven't paid much attention since the breakup). I'd also explore rakeback options just in case, which adds some more hassle into an already tight timeline.

If you haven't withdrawn from stars during the bonus period (and don't have to now), it's worth tying up your money for 48 hours for a bonus that doesn't expire. Other than that, you're probably best off with the bankroll building thread.

Thanks Rev.

Yeah I read that and have been following it. But with the Party break-up in the past few days, it kind of skews what to do next.

Greg's suggestions when getting to $500 is to hit Empire, and PokerNow.

Are the games worse now that Party is its own entity?

Mos def they are. They are bitching about this bigtime over in the bonus forum. However, at 5x clearage they are STILL too good to pass up. To shore up a roll though it might be best to go with the IGM Party bonus before heading to the x-party skins. That gives you an extra $100 leeway.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm afraid you lost me on the "To shore up a roll though it might be best to go with the IGM Party bonus before heading to the x-party skins."

What is the IGM Party bonus and where do I sign up/find more info?

Thanks!

I meant IGMPAY bonus. You deposit via yr bank account. You get another 20% $100 bonus with 5x clearage.

Booya!

Wow. Thanks!

Let me see if I have this right.

I am already signed up with IGMPAY.

I cash out to my Neteller account. Done. Then I move $500 from my Neteller account to my checking account. Then I access Partypoker, make a deposit using IGM with the bonus code of IGMPAY and put in my $500. Then start clearing.

If that's correct, that's just awesome! Thanks for the head's up! I can just keep grinding at .5/1 until I feel it's time to take a shot.

Then where to? Empire? Will they have the IGMPAY deposit bonus also?

Thanks so much!

I asked a similar question the other night and POKhER sent me the following:

"If you have over $40, Take it to SPORTINGBET.COM they offer $100 bonus which you can clear at .10/.20. Play your normal game if your not in a rush, i personally cleared it by playing EVERYONE HAND PREFLOP and then played my "post flop game" as i would(Meaning i usually folded after seeing the flop due to holding junk).

Its CONTRIBUTED RAKE so if you play most hands they will count towards clearing it and soon as you reach 500 you get the $100.(Well $30 after 100 hands, then the $70 after 400 more).

once you've cleared this you will have $140minimum(assuming you break even and deposited $40 originally).

Now go to Casino.net - Same bonus, yep you guessed it.
$100 for 500 hands, CONTRIBUTED RAKE. Clear this.

Now you have atleast $240... Congratulations."

I've been on this ite for about 1 hour total and already played about 40 raked hands. Not a great site but sure seems like an easy way to clear $100.
