Default $200 + GRANNY = $331

yeah, not the best I could have done (touched $370 at one point) but I'll take the 2-3BB/100 on top of the 5-10BB/100 in bonus anytime. any idea about the next reload date? last I think was back in November 04.

I also wanted to comment about how the Paradise whore fits in with Homer's "Building A Bankroll" thread. After reading through this numerous times as well as several followup threads, the advice to take an initial $100 bankroll and start with the crpyto sites may be less than optimal. since the crypto minimum limits are 1/2, the RoR with a 50BB bankroll may be too high for a novice whore (who is also likely a novice player as well) to jump into without reservation. I certainly have had my share of $100 swings on the likes of Interpoker and Poker Plex, but what is a minor dent in my bankroll could be a detrimental experience for a beginning player, who may get permanently soured on the game itself from one bad episode.

if it was my suggestion, I would not recommend pursuing a whore lifestyle until reaching a minimum bankroll of $200 (instead of $100), and then STARTING with Paradise at the 50c/$1 limits and a comfortable 200BB cushion.

with just $100, there are perhaps many different arguments as to which bonus provides the highest RATE or return in relation to the lowest RISK of ruin. even if violating homer's "not maximizing a particular bonus" rule, it wouldn't necessarily be wrong to suggest that someone put it into paradise and earn only $50 (yet relatively safely), rather than interpoker to earn $90 with higher volatility.

if a starting player truly cannot start with $200 and insists on a maximum $100 initial bankroll, then there is more short-term profitability with casino whoring instead of poker. blackjack bonuses have a higher theoretical earnings rate and is also easier to follow using a static basic strategy chart rather than a multitude of Hold Em positioning situations.

also, any player with "only" $100 total for online poker should probably not be bonus-focused to begin with. I think these players would "save" more at the rakeless microlimit tables than they would "earn" risking a complete bustout chasing a bonus they are underfunded to pursue.

I did this bonus awhile ago. I got so sick of Paradise that I left 50$ in bonuses still in there. It's great for bankroll building though.

yes there is definitely a long list of sites I would rather play than paradise, as far as in general terms. my comments were strictly in the vein of homer's BABFN...especially with the numerous whore disciples the thread has generated.

How many raked hands do you have to play to clear that 100$/50% bonus?
