Here's my strategy...

B) Play off the required hands.
C) Withdraw your bonus and profits from play.
D) Leave $50 in your account
E) Wait until next month.
F) Go to B)
It's pretty simple. Never make another deposit after that first month. Even I can do this and I'm still a bad player.

For those that like to multi-table and plan on playing Poker Plex: $50 very little bankroll for clearing the bonus at $1/$2. Granted I'm not the best poker player in the world, but I've lost my $50 at Poker Plex 2-3 times in the 18 months or so that I have been whoring it
Just throw 400 in and 4 table and you should be done in about an hour and a half

Hey Cubby Fan!
Do you notice a difference in the play at the $ tables vs. the GBP 6-max tables? Since you changed currencies in your post on the tables you play at vs. the real money you cashed out, I was just wondering if the $ tables were as profitable for you as the GBP tables were.
Thanks,

I prefer to play full ring everywhere else, but I won't play a full ring game at the Cryptos.
I'm not sure I'm even a half-decent shothanded player but on this assessment I think I'll work on it just so I can start taking advantage of the crypto bonuses again.

You can argue semantics all you want. PokerPlex is one of the best Crypto bonuses around. I really don't think they are trying to give the impression that you get $50 free just for signing up. | | Static Link |

Well if you are arguing about actually having to use real money to get a bonus, then maybe the cryptos arent for you.
and for Ben,
I got blasted on my second crypto bonus for interpoker. Lost like 40 bucks after the 90 bonus. All the 1/2 bonuses have gone pretty well. I think you either have to be a total, total TAG (16% vpip, no higher) or run the table over and hope. Ive been combining both strategies, (10% vpip for the first hour, then BLAM run it up to like 25% vpip) do that for a little while, then get out before they figure out theyve been had. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Gsolis at July 18, 2005, 8:39 pm | | Topic: Poker Plex $50 bonus questions Forum: Bonus Whores | | bam, it does say no deposit required but what they mean by that is that you don't have to deposit money each month (like most bonuses) to get this bonus. all you simply have to do is play 300 dealt hands at the appropriate limits - and the 300 hands have to be played at a real money table, so you will have to make some sort of initial deposit. if you get the bonus and cashout in full (remember you have to wait for your pin and there is a $1 cashout fee) then you will have to redeposit the following month. so just make sure you don't cashout every single month and keep some money in there to cover you month to month. | | Static Link |

Pokerplex is the same situation only it says $50 free instead of $10 no deposit required. Just play any 300 dealt hands and i should get it right? | | Static Link |

Are you referring to a NL strategy? I have trouble making profits (aside from the bonus) when clearing monthly cryptos at 1/2 limit. I've been thinking of altering my plan to start to try to push people around who, like me, are there for the bonus in order to make it a more +ev experience.

If they re-raise, re-raise them back. This is one site where I find the cards rarely matter. I seem to do better here than Party Poker.

True, there's no action required on your part but you do need to wait for them to snail mail you a PIN to withdraw which can take 7-10 working days. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Gsolis at July 17, 2005, 9:01 pm | | Topic: Poker Plex $50 bonus questions Forum: Bonus Whores | Yup, it's really that easy, 300 dealt hands will release the $50 but you have to play on a real money table, at least $1/$2 limit or 0.50/$1 NL, so you do have to deposit enough to cover yourself for 300 hands.
The bonus will not show on your statement or your account info, it will just appear in your account once you clear it. Nothing you have to do to cash out, but just a $1 cash-out fee. hope this helps. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: bamj6 at July 17, 2005, 7:55 pm | | Topic: Poker Plex $50 bonus questions Forum: Bonus Whores | Is it really no deposit required, just play 300 dealt hands in play money and i get the bonus?
Plus is there something for enabling withdrawals i have to do after the $50 bonus released? | | Static Link |
