It is remarkable the difference in the games at PokerStars and, say, Cryptologic. At Crypto, all the raising in the world won't deter the folks chasing a two-outer, while at Stars, a well-timed bet or raise with nothing can earn you a pot instantly.
I must say that I do enjoy the high-speed tables at PokerStars. I don't enjoy the slow rate of collecting FPPs, though.
By the time I clear this bonus I'll have enough for either the windbreaker or the fleece pullover. I already have a hat (Ebay for $12 including shipping.)

Neteller my money out. I don't think I have even played a single hand and the bonus has grown to $424. One rainy day when I am out of phat bonus I will go back and knock this bad boy out. For now I will just keep filtering the $$$ thru the account building up bonus.
I used too attempt to clear this bonus but sometime in March I gave up completely and just run the money thru the machine building up the bonus... The whore in me can't stop. | | Static Link |

It's like 1.5 BB/hour at limit(up to about 2/4, where it gets capped at $6-$7/hr); 3 Bb/hr at NL. If you miniview 3 shorthanded .25/.50 tables that you started, you probably make like $9/hr. It's not great, but it's better than people give it credit for. It's a shame they don't count tourney buyins like Pokerstars, though.
One advantage of the UB and Stars bonuses is that the points have value beyond bonus cashing. After you clear the most recent Stars bonus, you can get some of that crap from the store. Same with UB. | | Static Link |

The trick on UB is to be one of the first two people that start a table. You gain 2X the points this way. If you don't mind playing shorthanded for a bit, it is defnitely the way to go.
Tex.. are you the guy from Tuscaloosa that I was playing with the other night?
If so, welcome to the board and Roll Tide

Absolute- easy dont have to do anything but wait 30 days
Party- found it very easy fast to clear 2-3 days
Paradise- a little longer to clear the max about 5-7 days
Ultimate Bet- very long to clear, will prob stay away from this one in the future.
Curious to learn about some of the smaller sites, since I have only tried these so far.
Empire looks good but wont let me play since I have an acct w/ party, tried deleting it from pc and all that but still wont go through. | | Static Link |
