Forget about the Cryptos then! At your limits the bonuses either take ages to clear or aren't clearable at all.
Play the Primas, but check their T&C about clearing conditions. And read the threads on this forum. | | Static Link |

PokerPlex too and probably Littlewoods also. Any Crypto where you can still clear the bonus at the micro limits will require a $1 in rake to be collected for the hand to count so it would be near impossible.
Littlewoods is the same (1/2 limit .5/1 NL/PL). | | Static Link |

| Posted by: unclejune at July 26, 2005, 5:35 pm | | Topic: Interpoker the best option for my first $100? Forum: Bonus Whores | thanks for the help everybody.
you guys gave me a lot of sites that are right up my alley: bet365, grand bay, wild jack, poker plex, william hill and littlewoods.
can i clear the william hill and poker plex bonuses at the $0.25/0.50 tables?
for the last 3 days, i've played my first online poker at bodog (i place sports bets with them) and i turned in a $50 profit at the 0.05/0.10 NL tables. the level of competition was horrible. i know it's a micro limit table, but i didn't expect people to be playing so reckless with real money.
to be honest, my level comfort is at the 0.10/0.25 tables. so, having to step up and play at 0.25/0.50 and 0.50/1.00 is a bit intimidating. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | | If you're just starting out building up your bankroll then the Prima network is the way to go. They all offer one time bonuses that are rather small but are easy to clear. You might do a search for Prima forum threads. There were several that listed all the Prima sites (some are rather obscure) and the raked hands requirements of all those sites. None of the Prima's, except Crazy Poker, have a reload. So, do a site's bonus and move on to another Prima. (and make sure to avoid CityPoker!). | | Static Link |

Yes but check the FAQ, there's a few other quirks with Will Hill on checking your statement and getting the last hour.
Ok thanks | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Ben_Knifed at July 25, 2005, 4:59 pm | | Topic: Interpoker the best option for my first $100? Forum: Bonus Whores | Prima,Prima, Prima. You have $100, right? You really cant play at 1/2, you'll very likely bust--especially at the Cryptos. Prima, Prima, Prima. I'm talking Bet 365 as others have said but all of the other $30-$50 bonuses too, Grand Bay, Wild Jack, Parbet. You can play .50/1 or even .25/.50 in order to clear. You're main concern now should LIMITING YOUR RISK. You only have $100--you cant afford to lose it. Rather, in order to increase it you must risk it but at the lowest level of risk. There are others like these, just search and you will find.

Forum: Bonus Whores | if you're new to poker of haven't played 1/2 before i would pick euro bet instead ( they let you clear at .50/$1). playing vs the fish on a partypoker skin is going to give you a chance to make money at the tables.
i think you sign up and get 50% up to $50. which is perfect for you if you only have 100. just 250 raked hands but i'm not sure on the cashouts there as i've just signed up and never cashed out.
the crypto 1/2 games can prob be a bit hard for a new player. tighter than most and mostly 2-3 players seeing a turn. although if you snail like some do and fold everything you can prob make a few bucks. if you choose to snail you might as well multi table and finish the bonus in 2-3 hours. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: NWCougar at July 24, 2005, 3:00 pm | | Topic: Interpoker the best option for my first $100? Forum: Bonus Whores | First do Will Hill and Bet365, They're fast and easy to clear, plus they don't require a pin to withdraw.

Forum: Bonus Whores | I wouldn't do Interpoker as your first site, if it is poker that you want to play. With a raked hand at $1, it means that the pot has to get to $20, which just doesn't happen that often at even the $1/$2 limit. At limit poker then you are looking at $2/$4, which I would suggets you are really under bank rolled for.
Better to look at the BW guide, and tackle something like Bet365.
Good luck
(Or do a search on Nordic / Expekt Poker but doublecheck to see if these take US players. Expekt doesn't, Nordic may do)
BW Guide though is still one of the best guides out there as a plan though. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: unclejune at July 24, 2005, 1:10 am | | Topic: Interpoker the best option for my first $100? Forum: Bonus Whores | I've been doing a little research for the last couple of hours. I've been browsing through these forums, the BW guide and a couple posts on 2+2. Things are still a little confusing to me cause I'm new to all of this. From what I've read, it seems as though Interpoker is the best place for me to start.
-$90 bonus for a $90 deposit (450 raked at $1).
-$100 bonus for 1250 raked at $1 (BW code).
What limits should I play in so that I can get these bonuses before the end of August (BW expires then).
Looks good to me. What do you guys suggest? Should I even start out at Interpoker?
