$3,333 added to a $5 NLHE tournament on Friday 25th June looks like pretty good value.

Booked into a live tourny in Austria during the promo week, so I will miss the added money events, but I will certainly get that bonus whored before I go...on top of the 20% they gave out last week a good month for UB!

I saw that. That tourney should be a lot of fun.

oh yeah....that $3333 added tourney should be pretty cool also.

But really, working off a bonus at UB is like a trip to the dentist [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]. JMHO!

How long would it take me to clear that bonus 2 or 3 tabling 1/2 or 2/4? What's the competition like there?

[MrDannimal]

At 2/4 you usually get the full 1 point per hand. So for full tables you get ~60 hands per hour ($6 in bonus). At the 6max tables it's more like 100 ($10/hr).

So for $165 at 3 tables it'd be like 9 hours for full ring and 5-6 for 6max.

I think this is a bit high. At 2-4 you will clear a little better than $5/table hour normally in full ring games, more in short handed. If there is a waiting list your best bet is to try and start a game. You earn double points for being the first or second player at a new table.

Games are more along the lines of Paradise and Stars, which means tougher than Party, but still beatable. Except by me in the last four days. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

i actually have found the games to be a bit tougher than stars and/or paradise....but i ran pretty so-so in some previous bonus-clearing spells there. and i haven't played there in awhile.

i've got bonuses at stars, pokerroom and pacific that i'm working on.
plus....i hope to work off the pokerroom initial-deposit bonus in time to take advantage of the re-load bonus.
pacific has another bonus coming up this Saturday night only so that will be even more.

busy busy busy.

and now i need to reserve some more money to deposit into UB to add even more bonus-dollars to my account. already at $300 in bonus there waiting to be cleared.
i know of others who have over $1000 in bonus-money there waiting to be worked off.

oh well, there are worse things in the world to complain about i think.
thanks for the heads-up on this one.
