Forum: Bonus Whores | | i've been playing the sit n go's at stars to clear bonus.at 10+1 you get 5 points. 5 points is worth $1 so bonus pays your fee. If you are a true whore you can play $5+.50 it gives you 3 points . | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Guacamole at February 12, 2004, 3:59 am | | Topic: Long awaited Poker Stars bonus. Forum: Bonus Whores | I fell for Stars deposit bonus special also. Thought I'd deposit 150 and get the quick 30 in bonus. Didn't realize that the FPP's needed would take over a 1000 hands to get! I played 1/2 and only about one in eight hands went high enough to get a .75 rake needed for a FPP there.
Paradises 10% neteller bonus on Sundays may be half of Stars one time deal but it's 8 times quicker to get, so it's a better deal in my opinion.
I don't like Stars much anymore. Low limit games are so tight it's laughable. I'd say that 75% of the time I raised pre-flop everyone folded! I couldn't believe it. That's why you never get the rakes needed to get those precious FPP's. What a joke. If you can make money there you could make ten times more everywhere else, except maybe Paradise, another tight place. | | Static Link |

The 600 FPP is not 600 raked hands - it's 600 raked hands with a .50 rake (at .5/1) which means a $10 pot. I played 125 hands of .5/1 today and netted 25 FPP for it. So... $2/hour bonus maybe? | | Static Link |

Poker Stars's full ring games can be a bit rocky. However, if you can play shorthanded, those games are definitely better. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: elric at February 8, 2004, 11:12 pm | | Topic: Long awaited Poker Stars bonus. Forum: Bonus Whores | PokerStars is my favorite site of all the ones I play... And the fact that they now have a sweet Bonus can only make it better!
The stud games have a low ante & low bring in.
I wish I could say the waters are full of fish... But there may be almost as many sharks in the water as there are fish. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Bankroll at February 8, 2004, 11:08 pm | | Topic: Long awaited Poker Stars bonus. Forum: Bonus Whores | Pokerstars games are similar to Paradise games in my opinion. However, I only play there when they offer the reload bonus, so I haven't played there in a few months.
It is a large enough room that there is usually not a problem finding games, at least at the $1 $2 through $3 $6 holdem games. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Grinder at February 8, 2004, 10:22 pm | | Topic: Long awaited Poker Stars bonus. Forum: Bonus Whores | The only drawback is you can not cash out ANYTHING until the bonsu clears. Although - this does not sound to bad.
A $120 bonus is 600 raked hands!
How are the games there ??? | | Static Link |
