Clearing Bonuses through SnGs (X-Post)

Sam T. · #1 10-26-2005, 04:20 PM

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

Bodog sngs work out to 100% rakeback as you're clearing them, but the bonus is only 10%, so you'd have to make a pretty big deposit to get any real benefit from it.

bodog poker is decent for this.

Party SnGs do not clear bonuses.

U said you play on Stars? they have bonuses you can clear via SNGs - just wait until they have another one (which should be in two months or so judging by their timing of them over the last year 1/2).

the Stars' bonuses essentially work out to 100% rakeback for the duration of the bonus (except that if you play $5+50s, then it works out to more than that due to the way they round FPPs)
