Topic: thoughts on Poker Room tables Forum: Bonus Whores

you're talking 50c/$1 NL right? note that the bonus system on Pokerroom is not the same as Party where ANY raked hand counts towards the bonus. you earn one point for pots raked at least $1 ($20+ pot) and 0.5 point for 50c rake ($10+ pot). you may have played 600 raked hands but not necessarily have that many "points". if you're playing fixed limit (which I doubt if you're already $250 down) then your points might be even less.

I don't play much NL but clearly it's a game of higher variance and many more variables than LHE grinding. truthfully, I'm seeing a lot more beginning players such as yourself jumping right into NL for bonus whoring and I don't know why, especially if you're running back to the forum for playing advice after a loss. that being said, you will notice that pokerroom is slightly more TAG than party is, so you may find yourself having to invest more money while at the same time having a smaller edge to draw out. you might have been able to play cheap draws at Party but Pokerroom will likely not be as easy. when you say that your average cashout from the party skins is $150, do you mean $100 from the bonus and $50 from actual play? that's less than 10bb/100 for 50c/$1 NL (presuming all hands aren't raked); which doesn't seem particularly dominating to me. you might want to post your PT stats or some sample hands for people to give more specific pointers.
