Q: Bonus money at Party

[Aaron W.]

After playing for four years at Paradise only, I'm considering opening a money account at Party. I've been looking into the details of the deposit bonus (and the bonuses in general). I just have a couple questions:

1) Is the 5x standard for clearing the bonus?
2) About how many table hours does it take to get 100 raked hands at $1/2 6-max?

I ask these because I don't know if I play enough to actually clear the full bonus and I'm trying to see what I'm getting myself into.

7x bonus is standard for their monthly reloads, i believe initial deposit bonus is 5x.

Im not sure about 6 max, but I usually clear the monthly reload bonuses (I deposit for the max of 100$ bonus) in about 6-7 hours 2 tabling at the 1/2 limit full tables.

1) 7x

2) I dunno, my friend seems to think you can do it in 3 hours if you 4 table, but I think it takes a bit longer. I usually 3-4 table the .5/1 full and it takes... I dunno, maybe 6 or 8 hours total... I'm not really sure.

roughly 75% of 1/2 6max hands are raked

so you get 100raked for every 133hands you play .. so a 500raked bonus takes 667hands, the 700raked takes 933hands

I averaged about 82hands/hr/table at 1/2 6max

so the 5x takes 8.1table hours or rougly 2hrs 4tabling
the 7x takes 11.4hrs or about 3hrs 4tabling

The deposits on most of the skins are 5X, and the reloads are usually 7X (apart from multi poker which is a useless 20X). I dunno about 6 max, but at .5/1 full ring I get around 65/70 hands per hour, and I'd say 80% of these are raked. At 1/2, I would think mostly all are. Its really really worth whoring em out, especially if you are used to Paradises software (which is horrible IMO). Either way, playing 700 hands in a week (for the reloads) is easily doable. Just make sure you get rakeback on one or more accounts (usually people do at Eurobet and Empire.) GL man!

Just wanted to let you know, I made my first deposit at PartyPoker and apparently it's requiring 700 raked hands to clear. It expires after 30 days.

Quick point: if you don't play out the whole bonus before it expires, you don't get any of it. Paradise you get it, iirc, ten bucks at a time or something.

Yeah/ Paradise, Absoluete, Stars, you all get yer bounus bit by bit. Party et al. is all or none. Party sucks my slightly smaller than averacge cock, but they have ltosssssssssssssssss of fish. I should bprobably play there moere, but absolute's bonus is sooo good. +rakeback.
