| Posted by: Guacamole at June 9, 2004, 3:35 pm | | Topic: 50% sign-up bonus + free roll tourneys Forum: Bonus Whores | I got crucified playing that one table that was going. 13 hands is all it took for me to get wiped out. I went back and replayed each hand. I had the better starting cards each time I lost, but was drawn out on unbelievably each time. AA vs QT, AK vs 97, AQ vs A5, etc. Unreal. And these guys were re raising each time pre flop. I found it suspicious. Oh yeah, another time I had A2 in BB, flop came down AK2. You got it, was crucified again with SB holding KK.
Going to have to stick to the free rolls for a bit now. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: hofdaddy at June 9, 2004, 12:36 pm | | Topic: 50% sign-up bonus + free roll tourneys Forum: Bonus Whores | I deposited there last night and found 1 table going! That is right one freaking table of 2/4! I played for a little while and earned 13 whopping points! I got a $100 bonus coming that should take about a year to clear there! I also signed up for tonights free roll! I think I saw msutter signed up already but noone else from BW. Hope to see you guys there so I can school you in the art of LHE!!!

Click on the promotions tab and it will tell you about the end of the month tourny's.
June 25th-29th: $2000 Freerolls (Accumalted 50 Raked Hand Requirement)
June 30th: $25,000 Freeroll (Accumalated 500 Raked Hand Requirement)
Not sure how anyone is going to get 500 Raked hands considering no one plays in anything but the freerolls. The most people I have seen playing at one table was 4 and that only lasted 5-10 mins or so. I would consider trying to get 500 Raked hands just for the freeroll but I'm afraid that they might cancel it since there will probably only be 5 people that will be eligable. | | Static Link |

Can't get anyone to fold even with my nut hands. Flopped the nut straight, and the best hand out of the rest was king pair, which I lost on the river because king came out on turn and the board gave an another pair on river. Raised like a mad man on flop with aces and all through out, and lost it on the river when the second 10 came.
Still, it's cheap entertainment because of all the funny things that happen.

| Posted by: Pokeraddict at June 8, 2004, 9:47 am | | Topic: 50% sign-up bonus + free roll tourneys Forum: Bonus Whores | Yeah I figured I could have worked off this $25 at Party twice in the time I have worked off just over 10% of it there so I gave up. Yes the cashout was fast, the freerolls are good so I guess they are doing a good job to get it off the ground. It is worth checking out at least.
I think it was a bad decision by them not to make you play x#hands to cash out freerolls winnings (like old ACR system maybe) just to get some action for the site and get a chace to rake their freeroll prizes. Good for bonus whores but if they give away all their money and noone stays when they stop there could be problems down the road. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: m0nger at June 8, 2004, 1:30 am | | Topic: 50% sign-up bonus + free roll tourneys Forum: Bonus Whores | Thanks poker addict, for the heads up on that. I thought about depositing there myself... been playing a bit in the 2/4 limit with my freeroll winnings, to get some club points for their end-of-the-month freerolls that require the club points, but figured I should be working off a deposit bonus too, to make the most efficient use of my time in the limit game. But if its that crappy (330 hands for $3!) .....
In light of the fact that they are quick about transfers to Neteller (as reported by other bonus whores); it still might be worth making a deposit for somebody who hasn't got freeroll winnings to work with, to play and earn some club points, as the 25K freeroll should be pretty sweet. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Pokeraddict at June 8, 2004, 1:08 am | | Topic: 50% sign-up bonus + free roll tourneys Forum: Bonus Whores | Yes the freerolls are good. They are real money not promo crap.
The bonus IMO is worthless. I played 330 hands and have worked off just over $3. The three Dobrosoft poker rooms I have played at (ACR, Choice and Pokerworld) take 50% of your theoretical rake of hands you were dealt and deduct it from your promo balance. I have played about 100 hands each of 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6 mostly short handed so how on earth could that only be $3 in rake reimbursement?
A Casinomeister poster found the T&C I could not find he states "*CASH BACK is calculated using the following formula: The player's contribution to the hands total rake prior to either FOLDING or reaching the rake MAXIMUM of $3.00 (whichever comes first) multiplied by the player's Silver, Gold, Diamond or Platinum Percentage Level."
In other words hands you do not flop do not count. Also hands you fold before any rake do not count. Even if you fold halfway through your bonus money only works off what amount of rake/# ... | | Read Entire Entry |
