Re: Up to $500 reload bonus at Multi. 20x raked though...
 

This wording is confusing:

"Release Restricted Reload Bonus
Codes are valid from 2005-09-01 00:00:00 to 2005-09-10 23:59:59. And you have as much as 20 days to clear them."

I'm not certain I truly understand the wording here and what they mean exactly. Perhaps I'm just dense and am missing the obvious.

Can anyone shed any more light on this?

Re: Up to $500 reload bonus at Multi. 20x raked though...
 

Thanks. That's helpful. Now if I can only find the time to play that many raked hands.

Re: Up to $500 reload bonus at Multi. 20x raked though...
 

gilla - So if I am understanding you correctly, since the codes are only valid between now and 9/10, and say I wanted to do the $100 and the $300, it would behoove me to do the $100 first. Then say it took me until the 5th to clear the $100. I could then deposit $300 and then have a full 20 days to work off the $300 bonus. Is this correct?

If I were to do them in reverse, I would get 20 days to clear the $300 bonus but if I went past 9/10 then I couldn't get another bonus unless I waited until 9/10 and then deposited for another bonus. In which case I would have 20 additional days to clear that second bonus?

That sounds confusing but am I thinking along the right path?

I am not sure what the best way to do it is. But, if you get to 9/10, even if you have not cleared the current one, I would load up all the rest (from smallest to largest, or largest to smallest? I don't know, I think it depends). Then, whenever you clear the earlier ones, you will have until the 30th to clear as many others as possible. My plan is to clear the 300 and 100 by about the 6th or 7th, load the 4 and the 2 on the 6th or 7th, and load the 5 on the tenth. Then, if I can play another 12,000 hands by, say the 20th, I will have ten days left to clear the last 10,000 hands by the 30th.

Oh, and yesterday, before all this, I was thinking I was burnt and would take a few days off. lol.

HA! Yeah, that seems like the best plan. If you can manipulate it so that you have the entire 30 days to clear as much as possible then you are maximizing your efforts.

Thanks!

A workable schedule
 

Here is the schedule I posted in my PIC. I believe this is doable. I estimated 4-tabling 4 hours for weekdays and 8 hours on weekends/holiday. If you get ahead of the time-table, all the better.

1) Deposit $100 ASAP ---- Should clear by 9/3
2) Deposit $200 on 9/3 --- Should clear by 9/5
3) Deposit $300 on 9/5 --- Should clear by 9/11
4) Deposit $400 on 9/8 --- Should clear by 9/19
5) Deposit $500 on 9/10 -- Should clear by 9/29

unless you already happen to play 40K hands a month at 1/2 or 2/4, this is basically a crazy plan to get $1,500.

Just with the Party, Stars, and Crptyot monthlies you can $500 in bonus money in about 5K hands or less.

throw in the inevitable monthly Empire, and you're at $600 in about 6K hands.

after all those are done, plus any other reloads that come up, then hit up this bonus.

spending all your time chasing the bonus with the worst bb/100 is a complete waste of time.

Wouldn't it be better to do this from 5 to 1?

Re: A workable schedule
 

No.

You get a limited number of days to do each one. If you do the easier ones first you can clear them by the last day you can deposit. Thus on the last day you can deposit you sign up for the one that will take the longest and still have 20 days to do it.

Ahhh, thanks
