| Posted by: pulper_80 at September 23, 2006, 8:50 am | | Topic: Pokerstars reload Forum: Bonus Whores | This is brutal, I had thought to play only on the weekends hoping that it would be much looser and most pots would reach $8, but it seems the same so far! No wonder they give you 6 months to clear it, that's about how long it's going to take.

Just goofing around, I sat down at a HOSE .50/1 table. Played for about an hour, 10BB profit, and 17 FPPs. Coulda had a larger profit... but I didn't notice the game change from stud to stud-8, and folded a qualifying hand on 7th street when I missed my flush draw.
Any bad beats?

Yeah, stackability does not imply concurrent clearing. I am fortunate to have cleared out each Stars bonus as it came. Now I can save this one till sometime in December or whatev, and put more time into clearing those OnGame bonuses. | | Static Link |

A $10+1 will get you 5 points.
If you're up to it, give .5/1 HORSE a try. Games are soft and pots are large. | | Static Link |

I knew eventually I'd be moving most of my play to Stars, so I've been whoring elsewhere and just letting the Stars bonuses stack. When I do move over there (less than a thousand hands elsewhere left now!) I'll kick it off with $990 in bonus. | | Static Link |

From the pokerstars e-mail:

To start, we'll give you a 100% bonus, up to $50, for making your first-ever real money deposit. Just enter bonus code "FirstSep2006" when making your deposit
If you forget to, or choose not to enter "FirstSep2006" you will automatically be credited with our 20% reload bonus for existing players.

Ha, ha. I hadn't got around to signing up at Pokerstars yet, but I decided to last night. And since there's never been a sign-up bonus listed here for Stars I decided to do it through somewhere else.
I'm the master of timing. | | Static Link |

yes, lifetime stackable bonus
This one's just 6 months - so you will need to clear all stacked bonuses to get at it......

But the Bonus Grid shows Stars 7x reload clearing at $3.26 for .50/1FRLH and $3.16 for 1/2FRLH.
I'd rather clear it at .50/1 if the bonus grid is right.
.5/1 clearing is a lot better now that the pot only needs to reach $8. Last time I did some testing I was clearing faster at .5/1 than 1/2 - but that was a few weeks ago.
Thanks for the info. Think that's what I'll clear most of it at when I get around to this one. Maybe a little 2/4FRLH too- grid shows $5.67hr. | | Static Link |

Well - you can do a bit of paddling as the question gets asked a lot. It doesn't void the bonus, but you will have to wait 48 hours before you can withdraw. It should be more or less instant after the waiting period.
