My Bonus whoring report

Permanent Linkby MrDarling on Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:29 pm GMT

Since I managed to built a decent BR on Fulltilt and since I got my self a new mac that can run windows I decided it is time to start chasing those bonus everyone is talking about.

Took $550 out and wanted to test the waters.

1ST site : Deposited $100 on Interpoker.
Stupid idea. $100 is not enough to play in my normal game ($50NL). Also, it was very hard to find more then a couple of table of the same game on Inter, so I found my self sitting in Limit games, full ring and all kind of mixed levels.
Played badly in the games I'm not familiar with and managed to cash $140 (bonus included)

My next stop was pokerroom. Deposited $350 for a $100 bonus plus 5 books from 2+2.
Did a little better and cashed out $657 after 30 hours of play and 5600 hands.
Hated the client though. Key commands are great but due due to the fact that active table jump to the top regardless of the action I often folded where I meant to call or even worse, min raised where I meant to fold.
Also, I got timed out very often while trying to right the F* bet sum in.
Few memorable hands : timed out with K's PF after my bet was min 3Bet + 4bet. (turn out the other 2 both had A's and I would have cracked it)
Also timed out with a rivered boat when someone lead into me.....

Now am busy in Absolute. Deposited $600 for a $500 bonus and I hate it even more. Here the damn active table doesn't always jump to the top and when tiled it simply isn't obvious enough its my turn, which again make me timed out often.. And you can either have all annoying sounds or no sounds. So no alerts for me...
On my first day made 90 points in 3 hours. To clear $500 I need 2000 points, so I'll need to play 80 hours.

Maybe I'm barking on the wrong tree.
Last night I made $500 in a 4 hour session on FT playing $100NL.....

to tell you the truth I think you'd be making better money concentrating your effort on rakeback playing 100NL on FT... bonus whoring really is suited for 50NL and 25NL (25 is a bit on the low side)... once you move up too high, the money you make sometimes really isn't worth the effort...
