great to have you here. i would sign up today if there would be any banking option available for those who cannot open neteller account. i like software and games there, i play on sister site for RB, however these bonuses are amazing.
any chance for moneybookers (or at least click2pay) option soon?
thx for your help. | | Static Link |

I finished the WHORE signup last night and it was credited this morning.
The expiry date on the OCTOBER bonus has now changed from queued to 13/12/06, so 42 days from now.
Just deposited using HOE and it is correctly showing as $1000 queued.
Then used NOVEMBER and it also stacks as queued.
Someone else can try NOVEMBER and then HOE if they like to gamble. I just didn't want to risk locking myself out of the bigger bonus.
(you don't need to do an extra deposit for NOVEMBER. Just move $100 from poker to main and back) | | Static Link |

Well, some posts above Eurolinx wrote "We have democratically elected to run both the 100 and 1000 dollar reloads." so I guess it's a reload bonus.
I'm finding out if it can also be used as a signup if players prefer. BTW, the "100 reload" is actually $200 (NOVEMBER). Not for me. I transfered $200 to my poker account with the November code and got a $100 bonus.

| Posted by: drewofjc at October 30, 2006, 6:26 pm | | Topic: Eurolinx Payback Forum: Bonus Whores | I see Eurolinx's average cashout time is 1.27 hours and it's been about 3 hours, I'm not complaining or anything, but I'm just wondering why I cannot see anything under transaction histories. There is nothing indicating I deposited or withdrew successfully, though I definitely got credited with the bonus and deposits, it just isn't listed in the history. The site is a bit weird with the main account and the poker account, I'm just making sure I did it correctly. Transfer from poker account to main, withdraw from main in the screen where you enter amount and account ID (neteller account right?). Thanks.
Btw I just deposited for both the signup and reload and withdrew immediately, I plan to clear this sometime next month and I've read it was ok, but maybe this could be the source of problems? | | Static Link |

Oh how I love it.
I have never stacked so many people while having been stacked myself so much in such a short period of time.( Ie. I lost w/AA all-in pre 3 times on sunday. But w/K8s(tain rockets) I stacked 2 others..go figure)
On the good side, I'm up ~5 buyins (luck box)in 3 nites, and ~3/4 bonus cleared.
But a heart warning should be posted for the whores that have never played w/maniacs like this.I have peaople w/stats like 80/10/2 ,and I thought I was considered laggy.
BTW if there is a str8 flush draw on the board. And you don't have any part of it. FOLD.
I've been in on 2 of those so far(on the wrong side).

I totally agree with this post, but would just add one extra point. If you are going to play in a high variance game, then I think it is very important to have a B/R well above the recommended BBs for FL or sit-ins for PL/NL. I mentioned a very high variance 1/2 FL game I played last week at Eurolinx, and I would have been very uncomfortable if my B/R had only been 300BBs. One guy there lost about $100 in well under an hour, and that would be 1/6 of a minimum B/R, and very few players would fi... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: noidroid at October 30, 2006, 12:12 pm | | Topic: Eurolinx Payback Forum: Bonus Whores | The variance at 6max 1/2nl is pretty nuts, but there's a lot of money to make if you don't let it get to you. I'm up 11 buy-ins after 1600 pts, and I have taken my share of beats.
I'd say I play a little different here than other sites, I'm pushing marginal edges more often. Like if I raise with 88 and the flop is 7 high, I'm willing to go all the way against most of these players. If I was at FT or PS and someone was raising my c-bet in this situation I am VERY concerned. But at Tain I'm fine with it and I'll usually throw it right back in their face.
I think tight players are probably having a tough time adapting, and they're probably not willing to play many big all-in pots with one pair here at 1/2nl. But you just have to look them up sometimes, or these players are gonna eat you up. Either that or you won't be winning enough pots to counteract the inevitable suckouts you will receive. Variance, variance, variance.

When you have opponents that are willing to push money in and chase longshots without odds, etc., your swings can be ENORMOUS. In general, there are usually only two results you get when playing at a super-loose table: huge wins, or huge losses. It takes a lot of emotional stability to handle those swings, and not everybody really can. I even admit I have troubles with it at times. Just yesterday I played at two seperate 10/20 games that were absolutely AMAZING - average pot size ~$180, half the players were extremely loose, including a couple of huge donators. (One guy dumped over $3000!) My results?
Down over 50BB.
I mean, I played my heart out, and got nothing, or got outdrawn by some seriously bad players over and over again. It sucks, and I finally had to walk away - the games were still incredible, but I felt the tilt starting (after about 2 hours of bad beats) - I started finding myself wantin... | | Read Entire Entry |

| Posted by: stylemaster1 at October 29, 2006, 9:05 pm | | Topic: Eurolinx Payback Forum: Bonus Whores | So far, only cleared about 30fpps here, up about $50. Thinking if I can get up 50 more and the table selection stays the way it is, either a) I will never clear this thing in 42 days, or b) just run with the $100 and leave the bonus money. I dont particularly like to play outside of my comfort zone ($1/2 limit), but here I've played some sh nl ring games, a sh 2/4 wild west shootout (actually came out up 40 here) limit game, and some NL sng's. These are all like speaking chinese for me, and while uncomfortable, I'm only playing "the nuts" and holding my own....will continue on for a bit, but it's a slow clearer. Would LOVE it if there were more 1/2 Limit ring games here....should tailor a bonus in that direction and I think you'd see many more new faces here....overall I like it, but too "swingy" for me right now.

I got hit with a nasty run of suck-outs early on, but the players were so bad that I still had a small profit. I'm still not up to average, but I've never had less than I originally started with.

I normally play limit however, and the rates on the chart look ridiculously high. $7.20 at 1/2 full ring?! Even if we assume 60 hands an hour, every hand would have to be raked .50-.99 to get that rate. (60 *.5) /4 = 7.50, unless the rake structure makes for a lot of $1 raked hands which is rare from what I see at most other sites.
At low-stakes tables, they take a 10% rake, raked $0.01 at a time. Couple that with multiple LAGs at every table and fast play.
Anyway, I have a hard time seeing why anyone would vote for a big 8x bonus. If you cleared it, you would have been eligible for the 30% rakeback instead, so it isn't *that* much more than you'd get with no bonus at all. The same would apply to the 6x, but at least that's enough extra to make it worthwhile if you don't have any stacked Stars bonuses or something similar to clear.
