holywoodpoker.com 500% deposit bonus?

[Instyle007]

I read in cardplayer that holywoodpoker.com is giving a 500% up to $1000 deposit bonus.

Has anyone attempted this bonus? How is it cleared, and how's the action? Never played on the Poker Network.

Thanks,

I cleared $250 of this bonus and had to quit before I jabbed a pencil into my eye. I usually really enjoy PokerRoom but there are tons of whores clearing this at the 2/4 level making for some very tight play. Not to mention, it is hard to get more than 2 or 3 tables going at a time during non primetime hours.

The requirement is 15X and at 2/4 about 50% of the hands are raked. This may be appealing to to die hard BWs, but I couldn't stomach it any longer.

I'll still jump over to PR when they offer their occasional 7X bonus - as I stated above, I really enjoy playing their site for some variety... but I'm outta' Hollywood.

It's very very slow, there are much better places to whore.

I think it is a great bonus if you love the Poker Network (Pokerroom, Hollywood, BetonBet). Pokerroom is my favorite site to play, and its where I would go if I ever got caught up on bonuses. I'd suggest signing up for BetonBet, which has a small $100 12x bonus, and see how you like the network. If you don't like the games and/or bonus clearance rates, quit and move on. However, if you enjoy playing there and don't mind the realitively difficult clearance rates, do the huge Hollywood Poker bonus. Also remember that the Hollywood Poker bonus releases in increments of $50, so you don't have to worry about the bonus expiring on you before you get done with it.
