| Posted by: GoldenEagle at December 7, 2005, 10:52 pm | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | There are some real losers on this network as well. I played with this guy named "Mystery V". He was whining all night about how he was getting sucked out on. Finally, I asked him to stop. He goes on and on. He then gives my stats to everyone. He said since I was so tight no one would play against me. He thought by telling the table, they would wise up and be incredible players.
He is probably some 2 + 2 fairy who will go back to the Zoo and tell everyone how great he is. | | Static Link |

Boy you aren't kidding. I normally have to play Party .5/1 or 1/2 to see play as bad as I did last night. I played some 5/10 earlier that day and came across some bad players (1 or 2 total idiots per table, 1 or 2 TAGS, and the rest the standard passive players, the mix I like) but the wait lists were so long later I just sat down at some 3/6 tables.
Unfreakinbelievable. I even KNEW some of these idiotic jackasses (4 or 5 per table at times) had nothing (until they hit their standard runner runner or 2 or 3 out river suckouts on me ). If it wasn't for some guy who was short stacked and determined to go out with a blaze of glory who helped me jack up a pot to 174 bucks with two other donks chasing all the way I would have had a losing session (all I had was QQ and I figured I had to be beat by a bigger pocket pair so I didn'... | | Read Entire Entry |

I usually play 2/4 full ring and add a 3/6 if it's juicy at holdempoker
I'm holding out for the chance that they might do a promo like thanksgiving weekend where I got a $100+8 tourney ticket free for being the weekend point leader | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at December 6, 2005, 8:55 pm | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | | I personally play $5/$10+ there. Rarely I'll drop down to $3/$6, but the rake generation (and hence bonus clearance rate - only time more rake is actually good!) at $5/$10+ is unrivaled. | | Static Link |

Great work by the support team and maybe took ten minutes of work by my part and 2 days of lag time for it all to come out OK.
I give two thumbs way up to holdempoker on this one. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: RobDoral at December 6, 2005, 8:05 am | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | I didn't play any O8 SnGs yesterday so not sure. I guess you won one then? Congrats. I forgot what the terms were.
BTW, for those interested they are extending the CLUBS reload until the 8th. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Benholio at December 6, 2005, 4:17 am | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | The CLUBS code worked for me now, but it worked at a 10% bonus, despite the current promo wording that says it should be 50%. So now I have a nice fat $20 bonus pending, woohoo!
edit: I didn't realize 50% was only for first-time deposits... as a reload, apparently it IS supposed to be 10%.. doh
P.S. Has anyone received their $50 for the Omaha-SNG promo? I completed that promo about 2 hours after it went live and have yet to get a reply to the email I sent them. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: RobDoral at December 5, 2005, 9:46 am | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | I just retried it and it worked for me. Thanks for the post heads up heads up Q and alpha. 10:45 AM EST.
Oh, and I had emailed support about this earlier and was told they were forwarding it to someone else. I don't know if my email had any effect on my second attempt or that they just fixed the glitch. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: MyTurn2Raise at December 5, 2005, 3:45 am | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | Has it worked for anyone else
It showed up as expired when I tried
Maybe, I'll try again if it starts working for everyone else and I get my response from support/payments departemnt | | Static Link |
| Posted by: MyTurn2Raise at December 5, 2005, 2:52 am | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | fist time took 7 minutes from email sent to response email time..second time about 11 hours to respond....third email took 15 minutes to respond
Support has responded that payments department has been notified and will manually adjust bonuses pending.
This has not happened yet, and I definitely expect some lag time with this.
I just hope it does not screw up the $200 I already have pending there. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: MyTurn2Raise at December 4, 2005, 11:51 pm | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | BTW--Here's the promo for the 5th
Quote:
It's Monday and with the working week only just upon us today is a great day to unwind with a little Omaha Sit & Go tournament action!
Any player that wins any public real money Omaha or Omaha Hi-Lo Sit and Go tournament today will receive a cash boost to their bankroll of $50 and a ticket to our Big Christmas Texas Holdem Tournament!
To receive the prizes please send an email with your nickname and a hand number from the Omaha Sit & Go tournament that you won to:
christmas@holdempoker.com
The only omaha and omaha hi/lo sngs are pot-limit. They run down to $5+$.50 level...so you have up to 100 shots to hit the $50 boost. Not sure if that many run during a day however. Game selection seemed sparse...2-3 running at $10+1 and below with another couple signing up. | | Static Link |

You can see how many player points you have left for each bonus listed there (under "Bonuses"). The only thing it doesn't display there is the expiration dates for the bonuses, which are 60 days from when you made the deposit for them.
MyTurn2Raise: Let me know how you make out, here or in a PM. I'm trying to do this bonus as well, and getting the same errors. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: MyTurn2Raise at December 4, 2005, 12:04 pm | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | support got back to me and sent me a similar promotion (50% deposit instead ) with a changed bonus code.
Another error message when depositing though
"Please make sure that all the necessary conditions have been met with your deposit code and try to deposit again"
I'm starting to get irritated...so tough to get that icing on my cake | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at December 4, 2005, 7:58 am | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | Unless otherwise stated, bonuses at HoldemPoker are all 10x, 60 days to clear.
I do like their generousity, but I have a funny feeling I'm going to be pumping money in and out of their site all December. Hope they don't get too annoyed with that! | | Static Link |
| Posted by: MyTurn2Raise at December 4, 2005, 3:04 am | | Topic: Holdempoker CLUBS 10% upto $100 Forum: Bonus Whores | Another promo from the Christmas poker countdown
Unfortunately, when I tried to deposit, the bonus code "CLUBS" did not work. Error message said the bonus code had expired. I've emailed support; we'll see how that goes. Anyway, it is advertised on the site and might work for all of you. 10% upto $100 deposit bonus. My guess is it will be 10X like the one earlier this week. There was also mention of a ticket to a Christmas tourney that offers a WPT bootcamp with TJ Cloutier as a prize. | | Static Link |
