That’s right simply remember the hand number and fill in the claim form (below) before Midday on Sunday to claim your free $10.

Under T&C:
[ QUOTE ]
The hand must be played between on Friday 25th March, and Saturday 26th March (midnight to midnight EST)

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm assuming that this means all day Saturday 0001 - 2359 EST like previous promotions, right?

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

That would make it worth $10/221 a hand($.045).

Very worth it for clearing a bonus.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

I called them and they verified that it's from midnight Friday night until midnight Saturday. Eastern standard time...

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

Anyone actually get credited for these yet? i hit 5 in my 500 hands but nothings shown up in my account.

and yes i did submit the requests

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

It usually takes a couple of days to show up in your account. Maybe a little longer this time since the promotion lasts two days instead of the usual one.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

I nailed 5 of them too, not to mention a couple nice suckouts vs Starrkitty

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

Crypto software sucks ass...

but I really can't complain about the $195 bonus money I got for 5 1/2 hours of 3 tables. I can deal with crappy software for a day if that's the case.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

Almost 500 hands. No KK yet....

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

450 hands and I got exactly ONE KK. And yes, it's going to take a few days before you see it. They have to sort through and verify all the submissions.

By the way, what's so bad about the software? True it ain't Party, but it's no worse than Pacific or AP or others.

True. But my point is, if you aren't playing Party, I think crypto software is fine, no worse than the other poker sites out there. And, truth be told, I'd much rather play crypto than Party.

Why so? Party against the hoard of bonus whores, lose half the bonus. Crypto today, up 30BB, the monthly bonus, the "we missed you" bonus, plus the KK money. Sorry, but I'd rather play the overseas players any day of the week.

I think Crypto, percentagewise, has more bonuswhores than Party and skins. I do like how you can combine the monthly+come back+KK promotion bonuses though. Also I like how the 6 max tables for small stakes players aren't limited to 1/2 like Party, Crypto has 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6 6m.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

Poker hands are a lower triangular matrix with 1326 different possibilities. Only 6 of these possiblities are kings. Since people are always getting up, sitting out, or whatever, you only get around 8 hands per big blind on average. At 221 hands divided by 8 you'll pay 28 blinds to get $10.

Have a good time.

It is still better than getting nothing. Especially if you are working off the monthly bonus at the same time.

not to mention you're presumably playing some of your hands [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

I tried interpoker about 2 weeks ago and am pretty unimpressed with it. I recieved an email stating i'd get free $20 to play 1 raked hand, so I did that and cleared the $90 bonus, but no $20 arrived. 4 emails later and still no $20 >:

How many blinds you put in is essentially irrelevant if you're at least a break-even player (this includes overcoming the rake).

While you're right that the kings promo isn't a huge bonus by itself, it's a nice add-on while you're clearing the monthly $90 bonus. That requires 500 raked hands, which would probably involve being dealt approximately 3 times the 221 hands needed on the average to be dealt one KK. So, that would add roughly an expected 3 x 10 = $30 to the $90. Not worth tossing away your final four tickets for, but not a bad increase if you're doing the monthly bonus anyway.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

I love Pacific. Major fish pond. The more it gets bashed here; the fewer 2+2ers.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

When do you get the free $10, I got pocket kings 3 times yesterday and filled in the claim form each time., Nothings been credited so far!

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

They'll be credited in a few days. (usually 2-3 days after the event)

Worst customer support ever!!!
Without going into specifics, I wanted my concern to be responded through their help desk and I am still waiting after the several e-mails I sent.

Never again Interpoker.

Depends when you play, seriously. I won't play there after 7 pm CST on a weekday. I also play more on weekends. I select the tables in the lobby and look for a table with mostly (if not all) non-US players. This avoids the whores for the most part.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

I hit 4 KK´s. Filled the forms. I am waiting for it to be credited as well.

For pure bonus whoring... maybe. I still don't like when people say Party is tough when there's a bonus. I think that's just an excuse for a weak game. I'm not trying to slam you or anything, but I see people say that all the time but I've yet to see conclusive proof.

I know for me, I almost always do well on the Party bonuses. Crypto are hit-&-miss with me because the full games I play are usually rock gardens. I just played .5/1 NL on Crypto yesterday for the first time though and found a couple fish.

When you're talking about normal play though, I really don't think you can beat Party. All my opinions of course, but I really feel they have the best software and the best game selection (I'm talking fish ratio on tables).

On Crypto yesterday, I saw 47 hands an hour on NL. On Party during my normal play, I see over 60 hands an hour. I'll take Party for that reason only over Crypto anyday.

Don't worry about me taking anything personal, it's all open discussion.

As for the content, my "proof" for what I think about Party is found easily in my PokerTracker stats. While I am still up over at Party, I bet I've been break even since all this bonus stuff started getting a lot of pub about December. I was a Party skin disciple till then. Once December hit, I noticed the site jumped from 45k on at my usual time to well over 70k. It MAY also be tied in to the bad beat jackpot since that also kicked in about then, I'm not sure. But since that time, I am unable to win at the same tables I used to crush at about 6.5BB/100 hands.

Crypto on the other hand went exactly the opposite. I was way DOWN there after starting well and basically gave up on them. But, in February, I went back and have been having great success. The biggest change I see is whereas I used to suffer horrendous beats at crypto, they seem to have moved to Party. A good, solid game seems to fair much better at crypto. I've knocked over half of my crypto "debt" off the books since February.

Now, all that being said, I'm sure it's a matter of style and game preference. You said crypto $.50/1.00, that doesn't exist at crypto in regular full-ring hold 'em. I have to assume you play a different game than me. I am strictly a $1/2 limit player, full ring. I don't play NL at all. So if you are talking NL and me LL, we are probably mixing apples and oranges.

Also, since I never play without a bonus, Party is only played in short spurts, whereas crypto gets more hands overall due to the 5 sites worth of bonuses. The wild play at Party ring certainly means there is going to be a huge variance factor. Maybe if I played there more, the variance would even out and I'd do better. But frankly I'm not interested in trying when I can be playing for a bonus elsewhere.

I guess it's just "to each his own" and I wish you good luck with the Crypto's. I only recently started back playing NL. Before then, I was a $1-2 limit full player so I do understand you. I just simply have to disagree on the fact that I'd take Party over Crypto anyday while you're the opposite.

Yep, I reckon so. Six months ago I would have said the same thing as you. Times change, sites change, the games change. Just a matter of what you are comfortable with.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

In the past, they have all been paid. Every time, 100%.

Yes, their support is slow and non-existant, but they do the right things and never try to screw anyone.

You're kidding right? Almost everyone from the last Cowboys promotion didn't get paid all of them.

They're also known to stiff people on the monthly bonus a lot. Then when you notice and finally get them to credit you (which I have read is a major pain), you start from 0 raked even if you've played hands so far that month and it was their screwup.

I am serious. They have never screwed me. I have cleared their bonus every month since Sept 2003 (when it was only $40).

I do not know if I worked on their last KK bonus. I do have 2 bonuses listed in January for Interpoker. (one for $40 ... which maybe Kings, but maybe something else).

I know their software is slower than most. Their support is very poor. They have been know to go off line more than most. But I live by their sites.

Re: Interpoker $10 for Pocket Cowboys (KK) for 3/25-3/26
 

Has anybody actually got their KK bonus money yet, Still no sign of it for me.
