You can get an Athlon 3200+ for $75 or less, and I just added another 512 memory for $18. Whores, assemble!

Forum: Bonus Whores | | You can probably just make another account but stop using your old account completely. If they give you any hassle tell them to close your old account. Personally I think it's bs when you don't have a rakeback and you should because it's usually because you weren't aware of the fact when you were signing up that such a thing existed. | | Static Link |

So, if I close my current AP account and open another one through PSO, I should be able to get bonus plus rake rebate. Is that correct?
i doubt it.
Their T&C's clearly state first time real money accounts only for AP rakeback. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | jimmy jazz wrote: I thought sites that gave rake rebates first subtracted your bonus before calculating the rake rebate amount. I only play at AP when I have a bonus working ( like a lot of people) so I never bothered with a rake rebate program. I'd also have to start a new account if I run it through PSO.
As a current AP member, can I do both a rake rebate and collect the never ending bonuses? Sounds too good to be true.
Unless the rules for rakeback have changed...most places only offer rakeback if you sign up through the affiliate specifically for rakeback. And I believe absolute and ultimate bet, you can work with rakeback + bonuses. Without them cancelling eachother out, rather.

Then you should definitely not play there.
I rarely do. If I happen to find a good table or 2 then I will. It's sad. I know I'm not able to take advantage of their bonuses. Oh well. I'd rather play where I know I cna make moeny, over a sight with no tables. | | Static Link |

I have 3-tabled $2/4 and $3/6 there many times.

The bonus clearing rates are based on my personal observations.

1. Number of available games at all times
2. More fish
3. Higher Prizes in tournaments
4. Ease to get in freerolls (I.E. Party Bonus Points)
5. WPT Charter Member, and has own WPT Tourney
Absolute with a bonus is only good IF you can find a game. Which is tough for me, and I'm on the East Coast. What times are you guys finding good games on absolute? | | Static Link |

Absolute poker uses up a lot of your computer's resources. It can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but the neverending bonuses and the easy short-handed tables more than make up for it. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: SoCalRugger at July 7, 2005, 2:03 am | | Topic: What's better? absolute with bonus or party with no bonus? Forum: Bonus Whores | Games at Party are much softer. But Absolute offers bonus+rakeback, with tight games. The Absolute bonus+rakeback is worth over 2BB/100 in my experience, and I play 2/4. It took me about 6,000 hands to clear the $500 initial sign-up bonus, and I earned $170 in rakeback during that time.
Of course, I have yet to end a night at Absolute with more money than I started with since June 25. Cards have been ice cold lately. So I'm going to be taking a break once I finish clearing my bonus account, and spend more time at Party where the games are softer. | | Static Link |
