| Posted by: Aust1227 at June 12, 2005, 3:28 pm | | Topic: Real Money Virgin Forum: Bonus Whores | I would suggest taking $50 and depositing into PokerStars and pulling up a seat at their .05/.1 LHE or .01/.02 NLHE and playing there until you double your money.. THEN.. Take your money and read BW101..
If you have never played real money, and your bankroll is small Party and Crypto could set you way back, and, you don't have a bankroll big enough to really take advantage of their good offers.
Pokerstars does not offer a sign up bonus, so you are not missing anything by putting only $50 in. And, the play at those low limit tables is very close to the play at higher tables at other places. If you can win consistently on those, you are ready to whore. If you can't, just keep practicing and reading.
Starting to whore too early can really hurt you in the long run. The bonuses should be gravy on top of a winning poker game, not supplementing a losing poker game, and giving you the false assumption you are winning.
Good luck! | | Static Link |

first off it would help to know how much money you have. if you only have $100 or so is makes a difference. go to the BW101 guide and do what fits you best. im not sure where pacific is on the BW101 guide, but i think that should be the first site you do. it is a risk free bonus so it is a good way to start out. | | Static Link |

There are plenty of sites that offer first-time sign up bonuses, provided you deposit a bit of your own cash. You should just find the right sites to start out at, based on your preference of game, limit, and your bankroll. | | Static Link |

But what do you reckon to the free bucks at Empire - is it worth a go?

| Posted by: FeelingLucky at June 12, 2005, 8:55 am | | Topic: Real Money Virgin Forum: Bonus Whores | I think the best piece of advice for you right now is to read the Bonus Whoring 101 guide - available from the top menu. Contains a lot of info about sites, a suggested order of doing them, etc.
And of course, check out all the site review pages on this site - lots of information. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: bigpot at June 12, 2005, 8:52 am | | Topic: Real Money Virgin Forum: Bonus Whores | Hi all
Go easy on me here guys - this is my first posting.
Been playing on a few different tables as a play money player and wanted to know which one you favour to play for $
Currently play Doyles, Tigergaming & Empire.
Someone told me there is some free $ going at empire (something about SPAM) but I've not had any emails from them..... bummer.
Any suggestions to which is the best to start off on? i like them all for different reasons although I win more times on Doyles!
