| Posted by: hofdaddy at April 27, 2004, 7:21 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | I used to play NL on Party to clear my bonus then I realized that it wasnt good that I lost the bonus and then some of my money! Now I just go and play the small limit tables that way if some idiot does hit a bad draw against me it only costs a couple of bucks! That is just the way I roll!

| Posted by: autopilot at April 27, 2004, 2:41 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | | Played another 98 hands towards bonus, this time I ended up down $0.75. That constitutes a successful session for me these days. | | Static Link |

Anyway, this is why I play FOR BONUS, even if I am a decent player. I know I have an edge overall - I wouldn't even consider it gambling, really. I've never managed to lose a whole bonus in the time it takes to clear.
Almost once or twice, but not the whole thing.
I had two of those on Party in 30 minute span the other day. Unfortunately, I was playing NL so needless to say, that day was a loss. Since then, I moved over to the FL table since the damage would be at least tolerable. | | Static Link |

You ever think you are in control of a hand with top 2 pair and you are gonna make that other idiot pay through the nose? Yeah then that second five comes on the board and he looks like a genius playing 56o or whatever! Makes me wanna bang my head off of a immovable solid object over and over again! The big kick in the ass is when you try to do it and you dont get that second five on the board! Yeah that is the best!!

| Posted by: Johnny Empire at April 26, 2004, 10:19 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | 450 raked hands at Party to clear the recent bonuses. Lost 34 BB.
Going from 4 BB/table-hour to this is really kicking me in the head.
So I examine all the hands played and where I screwed up (those times that I did screw up); and try not to screw up that way again.
Latest lesson is that people won't fold. They'll clutch to that pair of fives all the way through. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: hofdaddy at April 26, 2004, 8:04 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | Good players dont tilt! That is what seperates us from the animals that play on these sites! I seriously wonder if someone let their pet monkey loose and let them play cards? Seriously how can 610o be good enough to play? Not just play but to call a 3 raise? I wonder what their thought process is? My faith in humanity is in a shambles because of these plays! Or maybe they are playing with food stamps? Free government money is easier to lose than my hard earned money isnt it?

Well they probably got some of it off me.
Seriously though, it does dent your confidence a bit when you have a prolonged crappy session. As least I didn't tilt, I dread to think how much more I would have lost if I had... | | Static Link |
| Posted by: hofdaddy at April 26, 2004, 7:43 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | OH NO!!! Autopilot I had the worst run of luck at Party at the beginning of the year. I played the NL $25 tables and moron after moron was beating me with crappy hands. You ever seen a guy call you when holding AA and make your set on the flop with a gutshot straight and then get it?? It happened to me over and over again! I lost a LOT of money at that site. Then I realized that their limit games were so SOFT and decided to play it again and whooped some serious ass!!! I was playing 3 tables of 1/2 and just making money hand over fist! I quit before I lost it but that is just how I do!

Am having a shocking run trying to get my bonus, won 6/260 hands so far seeing ~26% of the flop, down $62 on the 1/2 limit tables. People calling raises in early position with stuff like 24s suited and then winning, no not by hiting a flush or straight but by hitting 2 pair! Another time only 2 of us see the flop, I have 2 pair so I bet, other guy tries to bluff me by raising my bet, he ends up hitting runner runner for a straight, I guess he was proud of 'outplaying' me with his 'semi-bluff'. Yeah whatever. I can never win at Party/Empire anymore, yet do fine at the Crypto sites strangely enough.
There I said it, I have become a losing player at Party (and probably the only person in the world who admits it).

| Posted by: Grinder at April 25, 2004, 5:06 pm | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | | hofdaddy - that pretty much compares to a $128 pot in 2/4 I had last Thursday. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: hofdaddy at April 25, 2004, 1:01 pm | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | Sweet merciless crap was my recent whoring the easiest of all time!! I went to Party, plugged in my money and the next day I was outta there! I played the 1/2 rooms and OH MY GOD...have you ever seen a $52 pot at a 1/2 room?? I have and it was mine!! Not only was there a straight on the board and a flush but my fullhouse was the best of all! I just wish that it was within the realm of the 100 hands that Party allows you to look at.
Easiest money EVER!

| Posted by: hofdaddy at April 23, 2004, 9:41 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | Isnt it strange that Party offers a reload of 15% up to $100? If you look at what you need to deposit there to get the full it is.................$666!!!! So Party is indeed ran by the devil!!

| Posted by: autopilot at April 23, 2004, 8:34 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | | Just did a random login of a few poker rooms and got a popup from Party for a reload, 15% to max of $100 (need 1000 raked hands within 15 days). Bonus code is "RELOAD" but it probably will only work if you get the offer when you login. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: hofdaddy at April 23, 2004, 8:20 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | Oddly enough a guy that JP and I work with stumbled onto the casino whoring. He was telling me about the sites that he was auto playing blackjack on and the bonuses that they were offering. I just wish I had the money to put into all of this so I could be rich like you guys! I would if it werent for my stupid ass donating so much money to the "fish" at Party. BTW I still havent got my bonus for not playing there for over 2 months!

| Posted by: elric at April 23, 2004, 7:15 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | I agree... Lucky for me there have been some great posts explaining how to harvest casino bonus while we wait for the Poker rooms to get it in gear and hand us more phat bonus money.
A huge thanks to derek for originally wanting to be a BlackJack ho and posting the question. And kudos to Johnny Emprie, fluffwhore, Thythe, Grinder, JohnGalt, Ben, JPMcMoney whose numerous posts converted me into a Casino Bonus poaching whore!
Without you guys I never would have given this beast a try while I wait around twiddling my thumbs waiting for the next big poker bonus. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Thythe at April 23, 2004, 6:26 am | | Topic: Slow Month? Forum: Bonus Whores | Yeah this month has been bad for reload bonuses, hope it's not a trend
