Have you not worked up to multi-tabling yet? It takes a while but once you get it you'll never be able to play just one again. I used to think two was big time but now I play four routinely and I'm sure I could handle more if I had the setup.

yeah, i actually 4 table party while i do this. its not that i cant play more tables, i just dont like 30% to the flop with an avg pot of 8 bucks at 1-2. when crypto players give action they also usually play retarded...pretty profitable. it just takes forever to clear 450 this way.

Hourly rate: 3 1/2 hours vs. 690 equals 197.14/hr. this month.

This was a better month than most. Noramlly around 350 with a low of 327 and a high 470 (excluding this dam good month.)Took about the same amount of time.

You do know that everything above the bonus is just a loan, right? You'll lose all that and more eventually.

3.5 hours for $100 - $12.50 = $87.50 would make $25 your true hourly earning.

There's huge swings in blackjack.

the difference is that one can easily find good tables to play in Party with a decent percentage of fish, which is not the case in crpyto.
also the games are faster in Party, which means that you clear faster.
BUT most important of it all, most people here play at Party anyway, so the bonus really is a bonus. Whereas most of us make a journey to crypto just for the bonuses.
hope that answers your question.

My crap PC has problems multi tabling at interpoker, this pretty much kills the ev of that bonus for me.

Wal-Mart has nice new computers for $500ish. They'll play as many tables as you want with at most a RAM upgrade. Mine's nearly 2yrs old w/ 256meg of RAM.

OK, so right now there's a $190 difference between my "Balance" and my "Withdrawal Limit," on InterPoker, which is assumedly from my $90 March deposit bonus and my $100 April deposit bonus.

As soon I meet the raked hands requirement for an InterPoker bonus (450 for the first $90, then 800 for the next $100), does the withdrawal limit automatically increase? Or is there a delay between meeting the raked hand requirement and seeing the associated change in my withdrawal limit?

No delay. When it's released, your balance and the amount you can withdraw will be the same.

Keith Fellmy · #67 04-02-2005, 11:35 AM

the 90 will release when you clear the hands or the WR then you have to play for the 100 to release. I have done this before back when I played poker there. I forgot to clear out the month before. So when I played the folllowing month I got the earlier month's bonus. This was back in the day when I was still very new to online poker and didn't know that interpoker gave out a monthly bonus.

Today was 100 in and 690 out. I loves me some intercasino.

[/ QUOTE ]This sounds very unappealing. If you went up 590 in winnings that means you could just as easily have gone down 590. A little more down actually as the odds are in favor of the house. The idea behind clearing bonii in a casino is to earn the bonus and keep the inevitable losses and variances as low as possible. What was your betting strategy anyway?

The Crypto casino bonuses are risk free. If you cash out entirely you still have the $100 (for April's InterCasino/Poker bonus) available to you. You can then go to the casino and use that money directly. You cannot lose more than you have.

Casino whoring (and using the casino side to clear the deposit bonus) is not necessarily -EV. Some people don't feel comfortable doing it, but that doesn't mean it's not a decent way to do it.

Well, that's just not true. The idea is to make as money money as possible in the shortest amount of time possible, with an acceptable level of risk. Increasing your risk is usually more profitable.
