Default Fabulous poker

Hi.

This is my first post at this forum. However I have been lurking around for the past months and picked up several great tips.

I'm currently in the process of doing some bonuswhoring and found a site called Fabulous Poker (www.fabulouspoker.com)wich offers a 25% deposit bonus up to $100.000. This is more than any other site I've come across. Does anyone have any experience from these guys?

Thanks for your help and all the other great posts I've found on this site.

Forgot to ask if you have any other tips on sites that offer good bonuses. I've gone through Intercasino, Paradise and Pacific.

I've also browsed through pokerlistings.com but find most information there out of date.

Thanks

Fabulous Poker is a skin of America's Card Room (ACR). I have personally never played there, but I've heard that their bonuses take a very long time to clear and that they charge the largest rake online. It's probably best to go somewhere else.

Fabulous is a skin of americascardroom. They have the highest rake around, $.25 per $5 and $.05 per $1 in PL or NL. When they raised their rake they did not publish new rake until it was made a big deal here. Then when they did they either typod it or had a very high rake for a few days. That was about a month of being too lazy or deceiptful to show correct rake. Their service is average, cash outs 24 hours, their big tournaments have issues being set up correctly (like NL tourney set up as fixed or vice versa) or they crash and cannot be recovered (the $10,000 freeroll) and the worst part twice I reported obvious tag teams and they did nothing, didnt even return the email.

Look at this fabulous has the $.25/per $1 rake published. ACR changed their screw up a month ago when their live help didnt even know the rake schedule and it was typod even though support told several of us $.25 per $1 was right. Why do you think ACR would not fix their skins? TOO LAZY?

and the PokerWorld bonus clears at about $2/hour depending on table conditions. Whoopee.

Your very first stop should be Party Poker and any of their skins that you can also get bonuses at.

Try UltimateBet for their initial signup bonus and any reloads.

Also any of the IntercasinoPoker skins that you've missed.

Pokeraddict, you are incorrect. It is NOT the highest rake around. As a matter of fact it is EXACTLY the same rake as Poker Stars. Unless of course you meant that Stars also has the highest rake around.

It should be noted that there is also a 50% chance of Dutch Boyd stealing your deposit bonus and any winnings that you make at PokerWorld. Isn't that right, Silybum?

Why don't you just give me Dutch Boyd's neteller account number. that way I can just transfer him my deposit and not waste time playing poker only for him to steal it.


But HEY! I didn't pay rake!

This year at the WSOP I pledged that if I won, I would personally pay back the Pokerspot debt. A lot of people got pissed at that, because they said it wasn’t enough… that I should be giving up every penny I make (in or outside of poker) until the debt is paid off. I think that’s a very unrealistic expectation. I don’t feel like that debt is my debt. Pokerspot was not Dutch Boyd. It was a corporation, not a shell of a corporation. I didn’t even own a controlling amount in it. And I’m not going to be carrying the debt as mine. But if I was able to make enough money so that the player debt wasn’t a majority of my net worth, I would pay it back to restore my reputation.
