How long have you worked for codepoker?

Hey, May is just looking out for us. For instance, this advice from a couple months ago, on how we can increase our average winning rate by 33%!

Why would someone working for codepoker.com post something like this??

I usually play on party or stars and manage to be flat for the past 18 months. Last months I started to play on this site called codepoker.com and realized that my average winning rate went up by more than 33%. I heard that lots of european players play on this site and that the level of play is accordingly much lower. Has anyone had the same impression or was just luck on my side during the last months?
Thanks for your reply.

May

Codepoker offers a 50% bonus on profits. What do you think of it ?

Why would a site only give bonuses to winners? That seems a bit backwards.

a winner tend to play more often than a loser. Second, a winner does not do too many deposits, which is what is killing the rooms because of the huge fee that they are charged.

Wait up I think the huge rake that you charge would cover those fees...Forgive me for thinking online poker sites don't have huge overheads.....Oh they don't really, yet charge as much rake as most B&M casinos.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll use the $50 deposit bonus to try to get as much as possible on this 50% bonus on profits. Then I'll find another room with such opportunities.

i think it blows

Obviously I spend more time at tables than on forums. Anyway, with a $50 credit (deposit bonus), there is a good chance to reach $500 and then the $250 extra bonus. That's why I think good players might consider it.

[Benholio]

Yeah, the great $50 you keep bringing up, clears at about the slowest rate of any bonus I've ever seen.

With a big bankroll it could be worth to sticky this up.
Deposit $600 each month and try to double it up quickly with SNGs (if you are good at them). If you manage to double up 50% of the time you have a 5x (I assume this is not contributed?) $300 bonus every second month.
Variance would be pretty high though.

The problem with that is that you would have to play SNGs long enough to get the $600 AND play the 1500 raked hands. I have a feeling the 1500 hands are contributed, too, since the signup bonus hands are contributed. Even a solid winning $100+10 SNG player (10% ROI) would have to play 60 tourneys on average to win $600. Not to mention the bankroll required to multitable SNGs at the $100+10 level.

You could play slightly more tourneys at the same level (~72 of them) to clear $300 at Full Tilt, regardless of how well you did, and with no ring game raked hands required.
