Clearing Bonuses through Tournaments (X-post)

[Sam T.]

Hey all,

I'm primarily a Stars and Party player, but after a recent MTT win (2.5 times my original BR), I have the cash to open up accounts on another site or two. What I'd like to find is sites that have bonuses that can be cleared with some ease playing SnGs or MTTs. (Full Tilt's 100% bonus seemed good at first, but it looks incredibly slow to clear when I'm only paying $1-2 rake per tourney. Added to that, I only have 120 days before the bonus dies.)

I would welcome any suggestions members may have.

Thanks,

Sam

Best sites for that seem to be stars and bodog.

Hollywood poker, a pokerroom skin, has what amounts to 25% rakeback on tournaments. It's a 1000% bonus that clears $100 at a time at 25% of tournament rake (if you only play tournaments this is how it works out, it's 20 points per dollar and you get 5 points per dollar in tourney rake).

You have a year to clear it. Max deposit 1000, you'd have to play a lot to clear the full 10K without ring games.

The nice thing about Stars is your bonus never dies. It's there forever and you can take your time clearing it. I think generally bonus' are geared towards ring game players and high limit players. I think I would stick where you are. They don't get much easier for low limit tournaments to clear than where you're at.

Stars is the best bonus for tournaments.. basically you don't pay rake while you're clearing it.
