I'm just starting bonus hunting for the first time. I already have an account with Party, Stars, Titan and Pacific. But never took advantage of their bonus offers.
I play Limit games with a bankrole of $1000. I'm a good player, at least good enough to break even. Can anyone give me any suggestions on the following?
Where is the best place to start if I play only about 2 hours a night. I'm not sure what the rule of thumb is for how long it would take to clear a x12 bonus. For example... if the bonus is $1500 (like Hollywood offers), what is the rule of thumb to clear that? At what limit should I play and how many tables at one given time should I play?
Thanks for your help....

To get a rough guide of how long the bonus will take to clear go to that site review page and see how much bonus you get per table per hour at your limit (e.g. $2.50).
Then multiply that by the number of tables you pla... | | Read Entire Entry |

This might be the most telling statement so far. Sounds like your mindset has also gotten out of whack. (Not that I haven't also had AA and thought first, "Great, how will they lose this time?")
We've seen one hand where you folded a turned set with 4:1 to call on the river... got any more of them? That would be an easy one to change.
Good luck getting back in order.

Forum: Bonus Whores | for ur pahud problem, i think u can create a custom layout in the layout in the layout manager for the miniview tables, it might get kinda messy in fullring. i think this is what josh is suggesting now in this thread.

if u cant get that to work ill give it a shot later and see what i can come up with.

I need the details from the aggression stats table to calculate total aggression. AF + Total aggression may offer some insight to your problems.
Secondly, make a list of every starting hand you played where you got stacked + your posstion + your status in the hand the street where most of the chips went in the pot. This list will help us decide how much of your losses are due to bad luck and how much are due to bad play.
Third, make a list of the starting hands where you lose the most money. This list will help point to bad preflop decisions and/or over played preflop monsters.
Fourth, look at your stats for the last 10,000 50NL hands prior to the start of the bad run compaired to the stats over the bad run. Maybe you are playing weaker hands from early possition, maybe you are overplaying one pair, maybe you are too aggressive or not aggressive enough.
Fixing NL leaks is tough because most of them are subtle postflop problems that are not goin... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: rohan22no at June 9, 2007, 1:11 am | | Topic: Any suggestions? Forum: Bonus Whores | all hands are FR. I definetly have to drop back to NL25 for 1000 or so hands to get some confidence back. My overall agression factor is 2.23 -
FLOP AF - 2.72
Turn - 1.73
River - 1.84
Im actually at the stage where i get nervous when i pick up a good hand because i dont want to get involved in a big pot.
My worst hands, resulting in getting stacked have been
a KK vs AA
888 vs QQQ
an all in with an open ended straight flush draw beaten by 2 pair.
JJ vs QQ x2
I have also been beaten by a few (higher) full houses.
I have definetly not been playing anywhere near my best, getting frustrated at constantly being down a buyin 5 minutes after logging on. It feels like all hands result in - me picking up a good hand and everyone folding pre flop, me getting all in with the best hand and getting sucked out on, me getting all in with the second best hand...or me just playing badly. you get the idea.
So i will drop down to 25NL, tighten up pre... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: DrStrange at June 9, 2007, 12:46 am | | Topic: Any suggestions? Forum: Bonus Whores | I will need to see more data - things like your aggreesion stats and a list of the hands you lose the most money on.
The loss rate is much too severe to be random, something is badly wrong with your game at the moment.
(assuming you are playing full ring and not short handed) My early suggestions would be 1) drop down to 25NL for rehabilitation and 2) switch from a SLAP 24/11 to a TAG 17/8 and 3) be very careful about playing any hands OOP (52% VP$iP from the SB is an error for most people)
