50% bonus on profits ?!? - Page 2

May · #11 08-27-2005, 06:49 AM

wrong benhilo!

you give a rake back higher than 100% only if you want to generate traffic in your room. Why would a prima site give such a rake-back when they do not need more traffic (i.e. they have already 10'000 player at any given time)

Then imagine such player get 60% rake-back on the 60$ he raked. That makes 36$ back + the deposit bonus, which is still less than what you get with the profit bonus especially if you know that you also get the deposit bonus.

Can you give me the name of a room that offers 60% rake-back? The highest i know of is www.gamingclub.com at 35% and 30% at royalvegas.com.

lol. I also want to point out that www.fulltiltpoker.com offers a 600$ deposit bonus and that www.empirepoker.com offer a 100% matched deposit bonus... I also play at those sites and can recommend them.

Hey, maybe I will use that name next time I feel like playing some Omaha/8.

A bonuswhore gets 60%-150% of his rake back by whoring bonuses. It is what this forum is about. But of course, you would know that, since you are just a regular reader of this forum who decided to stop lurking so you could post about a site you incidentally heard about, and then defend its crappy bonus against the regular posters analysis of it.

Lots of bonuses (most of the ones that get mentioned here, even) are worth 60% or more of your rake. Party/Empire skin bonuses are higher than 100% rakeback at some levels, and they certainly aren't struggling for traffic.

Any low limit player (0.5/1 to 2/4, NL25-NL100 type limits) can get 50%+ of their rake back on 25,000+ hands a month by whoring bonuses. Any high limit player is going to make much more with a real rakeback deal (not limited to $300).

Thanks for these cutting edge tips! Time to jump on these bonuses before anyone else hears about them!

How long have you worked for codepoker?

Hey, May is just looking out for us. For instance, this advice from a couple months ago, on how we can increase our average winning rate by 33%!

Why would someone working for codepoker.com post something like this??

I usually play on party or stars and manage to be flat for the past 18 months. Last months I started to play on this site called codepoker.com and realized that my average winning rate went up by more than 33%. I heard that lots of european players play on this site and that the level of play is accordingly much lower. Has anyone had the same impression or was just luck on my side during the last months?
Thanks for your reply.

May

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll use the $50 deposit bonus to try to get as much as possible on this 50% bonus on profits. Then I'll find another room with such opportunities.

i think it blows

Obviously I spend more time at tables than on forums. Anyway, with a $50 credit (deposit bonus), there is a good chance to reach $500 and then the $250 extra bonus. That's why I think good players might consider it.

Benholio · #18 08-29-2005, 01:40 PM

Yeah, the great $50 you keep bringing up, clears at about the slowest rate of any bonus I've ever seen.

With a big bankroll it could be worth to sticky this up.
Deposit $600 each month and try to double it up quickly with SNGs (if you are good at them). If you manage to double up 50% of the time you have a 5x (I assume this is not contributed?) $300 bonus every second month.
Variance would be pretty high though.

Benholio · #20 08-30-2005, 04:43 PM

The problem with that is that you would have to play SNGs long enough to get the $600 AND play the 1500 raked hands. I have a feeling the 1500 hands are contributed, too, since the signup bonus hands are contributed. Even a solid winning $100+10 SNG player (10% ROI) would have to play 60 tourneys on average to win $600. Not to mention the bankroll required to multitable SNGs at the $100+10 level.

You could play slightly more tourneys at the same level (~72 of them) to clear $300 at Full Tilt, regardless of how well you did, and with no ring game raked hands required.
