Default Cryptologic Sites (Low Content)

I spent a lot of time clearing bonuses at Crypto Sites this weekend playing $1-$2 and above limits. I am wondering if anyone has noticed how TIGHT these games are. Folding all the way to the big blind was common, or a UTG raise and folds across the board. Is this how it usually is? It seemed like everyone was there clearing bonusus?

98% of the time, that's what you can expect. I've actually stopped playing there. I had one big month and then gave it all back... It seems you either win a little or lose a lot...

That's how I've found them to be the past few months. It seems like I win a ton of small pots through aggression and their weak-tightness, but then I end up losing big ones with second-best hands. I hear 6-max is much more profitable, but I haven't tried it.

This will probably be my last month attempting the bonuses. If I can't do better than break-even play, not counting the bonuses, I'll just stick to gameplay profit from other sites.

I played to clear the 100% bonus on Interpoker a couple of months ago and noticed the exact same thing. The games are extremely tight, but can be profitable if you loosen up a tiny bit and have good post flop play. I doubled the 90 dollars I deposited and also received the bonus, so no complaints from me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

.5/1 is much better than 1/2 at these sites. Also shorthanded is good times as well. Frankly, I dont see how a microlimit can afford to not clear these bonuses.

I used to seriously hate Crypto but then I discovered 6-max. Now I love it. The 6-max games are seriously very soft.

Can you clear the crypto bonuses at .5/1? And is there 6-max at that limit? If so, it may be worth a shot then.

The only one I do right now is Interpoker, and that is done in the casino (get this man some Pontoooooon). Hell of a lot faster, if slightly -EV compared to playing poker.

I play 1/2. Some Crypto's don't allow the bonuses being cleared at lower limits. Pokerplex, Caribbean Sun, WillHill requires 1/2 FL or 0,5/1 NL at least. I know Interpoker can be cleared at lower limits. Not sure about Littlewoods, Classic Poker (only signup bonus), UKBetting or Totalbet.

It took till sunday morning to find some LAGs. Maybe the 50Kadded brought them out. Scroll down a little and look at 2/4. Got on a table with 40% seeing flop. Quite nice.

I take it this is nothing like party 1/2?

And what does it mean if you can beat IP 1/2? Or at least show a profit?
