You have 1810 posts here and you don't know how to evaluate a site or a sites bonus on your own yet?

No wonder no one will answer you.

1809 of those were in OOT. Thanks for the wiseass comment anyway.

Do you still play 0.5/1? Otherwise don't bother. It's not like game selection is bad, it's more like there are no games above 0.5/1 on anything resembling a regular basis.

Hell will freeze over before you even find three full 3/6 games.

I normally play 2/4, but I actually prefer .5/1 to clear boniieeuses

Well then, all you need to figure out is if Absolute hates your computer or not. If it hates your computer playing three tables there will bring a top of the line computer to it's knees. (We're talking 3ghz processor, 1gb ram computer kneeling here.)

If you can multitable without it eating your computer, and can live with no game selection, but usually atleast three 0.5/1 games are going then you're set to go.

If you can play, and are willing to play 0.5/1 (or the rare higher game you spot) the bonus isn't too terrible to clear.

I think your hourly rate at Party 2/4 will be better though.

If you play 5/10 and higher, you'll be better of playing at Party, but I think if you play 2/4, maybe 3/6 and below, the deposit bonus is easily the best on the Net.

Maybe they changed their definition of a raked hand, or something, but I played 1/2 and it took about 3000 hands to clear the raked hand requirement(2100 hands). Not hard at all.

Sadly, it's not. And it's not close.

you need to be 18, or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction.

back to the forum topic...AP's bonus is basically allowing you to play rake free. other than that the party bonuses are still the best.

happy you wandered over?

actually, the wiseass that answered you is just a pretend wiseass. i hate to shatter his wiseass image, but other than his penchant for STEALING the GrannyMae screename at all new sites, he's actually one of the sweethearts here.

There's usually a handful of 3-6 games along with a 5-10 game. During peak times you'll find one 10-20 or two and four or five 5-10s. The site kills my computer, so its probably not worth it unless you enjoy playing two tight 2-4 games for 10 hours.

Despite three of four hundred dollars of bonuses, I've probably lost money at that sight, not to mention possibly missing other +ev games at other sites.
