Best way to clear a $25 Bonus at Party

SaintAces · #1 07-17-2005, 01:19 PM

I have a $50 bankroll at Party and need to clear $25 bonus. How would I do this? It clears after 125 raked hands (although I could have folded the hand preflop).

I am a decent limit and NL player.
$.50/$1 limit? shorthanded/full ring?
$25NL? shorthanded/full ring?

this obviously requires a knowledge of the rake structure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

open two tables of 25NL full ring...fold every hand but rockets and cowboys and you'll have the 25 in no time

...or over 4 tables at $12.5 each will work if you take the fold all approach.

thanks a lot.
any particular reason? rake structure very different for NL?

for the fact you won't have to pay as much on the blinds

the fastest way to clear bonuses is to play the PL25 omaha8 tables. just post blinds and fold 100% of hands. it should take 18 rounds at a full ring to clear the 25$ bonus if you fold every hand, and that only takes about 6.3$ in blind money.

Thanks for the tip... why PL O8? Is that better than PL Omaha for some reason?

how is this faster then NL holdem?

from my observations, a high% of the pots are raked. theres more action at the tables

theben · #9 07-17-2005, 02:07 PM

they are both about the same, but my feelings are that more pots on average hit 2$ at the PL08 25$ level than PLO25

What other posters are failing to realize is that you said you are a "fairly decent" No Limit and Limit poker player. Party Poker has Beginner tables, which you can play at, and if you have decent skills, you should be able to make out with a good amount of money. Instead of just folding every hand, you can make some money as well as clearing your bonus.
