When did you stop chasing bonuses?

twang · #1 02-15-2005, 05:53 PM

I did it the stupid way: I grinded my way from the supermicro tables to small stakes without any bonuswhoring. I just recently - and way too late - started chasing bonuses.

On what limit and number of tables did you stop chasing bonuses (if you ever did, that is)? 4-tabling 3/6? Higher? I realize it's basically a math problem, but I'm too lazy and too stupid to figure it out myself.

When I moved up to 5/10 6 max, I started making much more money from just playing poker than from bonuses. Of course, I'll do a Party bonus if it's there. No reason not to.

A GOOD rake rebate will be better than those bonuses...for those of us who dont get any rakeback on party.

how do you get a "GOOD" rake rebate?

You should be able to get 23-25% rakeback as easily as checking the classifieds. Or maybe an affiliate will PM you. You can get 20% without even trying if you are really lazy.

At .5/1, a 5x raked hands bonus is more than 100% rakeback. Even at 5/10 6 max, it's something like 50% rakeback.

If your rakeback deal is that good please send me an PM! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

High volume play, knowing people, having good timing, and a little generosity.

I chased bonuses on the party poker network all the way up to 5/10

I did some bonuses on other sites when on 3/6

On 2/4 I did most crypto bunoses

2 things:
1) The rake rebate posts are actually decently on topic. They are a big reason people stop chasing bonuses.
2) This thread hijacking that you're supposedly complaining about is nothing like what happens in lots of other threads. Don't swaet it.
