Busto On The Bonus Whoring
Permalink Posted 8:51 am in Categories: Poker

Yes well... I did mention that it would be a possibility due to the limited bankroll to start off with.

I took the $50 to sunpoker and played $1/$2 Stud as planned, everything was going well and i had rolled that $50 up to just over $100 after a few hours. Bounced up and down between those 2 marks for a while and even opened 2 tables to try and bring the raked hand count along.

2 tabling stud is NOT easy!

So well, variance took it's toll, or i got too cocky or something, I think i actually started chasing some draws when i knew i was behind and basically donked my way down to about $25.

I didn't fancy trying to compete at $1/$2 from there, It would have been possible but i decided to try and get a little boost from NLHE first.

About 3 hands into the NLHE i went broke after hitting the 2nd best straight on the turn :sigh:

It was a good plan!

Just didn't work out. I will prolly go back to it at some point, I am more than 50% towards the bonus and like i said, It's a good plan! After the first few sites bankroll shouldn't be a problem.

If anyone else fancies some whoring... here's the bonus info i planned to use, there are obviously a LOT more bonuses avaliable out there, these are just a selection.

dont even try to clear bonuses at Full tilt or UB ... you're better off doing a bunch of the smaller sites

Yeah, that's why i planned to leave them til last, when the roll is nice and big. I believe there is a time limit on the ftp one? 60 days or something?

Good question?

Go back to crypto and multi-table stud ... I've been doing it the last week or so and its really not too bad as long as you tighten up. I pretty much dont play anything but pairs/extremely live str8 draws/pretty live flush draws.

There have only been a few instances so far where I feel I've made mistakes because of multi-tabling.
