Thanks

never heard of this place. Poker bonuses most of the time though work like this. The bonus is released as you play. SO once you play x amount of hands, x amount of bonus is released to cash. With poker rooms though, i would stick to the major poker rooms first with a lot of players, good bonuses, and a big name. This is because this is where the most players will go, so more chance of bad players also. SO easier to profit.

Here would be my top poker rooms to play at.

1. Online Poker - Play Online at Full Tilt Poker Room 100% to 600 bonus. Bonus added in incrememnts of 10.00 aftter qualified hands have been played.

2. MLB Baseball Betting, MLB Odds, Baseball Lines at Bodog Sportsbook 10% cash bonus added instantly on deposit, and also 100% bonus released as you play required hands.

3. Enjoy Poker Online With PartyPoker.com - Play Holdem, Omaha and More! This is actually one of my top places. Bonus is 100% to 500. Bonus release after certain amount of points earned.

There are many more good ones, but these are my top 3.

Do you have a Pacific Poker account? If you can stretch to $400 deposit you can have $100 to wager with for very little risk, there is a thread on the forum already i will dig up a link if you want it?

It also depends on what stakes you are going to play. I'm not a member of Full Tilt, but I do know from reading the poker forums that if you are playing $0.10/$0.25 NL or below, the rake will be a hard-to-beat 10%. By comparison Pokerstars' rake is 5% at the micro-stakes.

Also, I would say don't join FT until you are ready to take advantage of their maximum sign-up bonus i.e. until you're ready to deposit the full $600. You only get these bonuses once after all.

I play a lot at microstakes, I recommend Pokerstars for that deposit amount, save Full Tilt for if/when you make enough to take full advantage of the 100% of $600 offer.
Alternatively I'd go with Party poker or even try that deal that Andy suggests at Pacific, I'm about to to it myself!

The quality of player at Pokerstars is actually pretty decent considering it has the biggest volume of players, I'd say Party is a bit easier. Can't comment on any others (played at Paradise years ago but didn't know my arse from my elbow when it came to poker then!)

Wendlll, could you post your thoughts on the Pacific deal here when you've done it, as I'm also thinking of trying out a new poker room/bonus. Is it still deposit $400, get $100 bonus, withdraw your $400 back and try to run the bonus money up while you clear the WR

Also can you combine this sign-up bonus with a rakeback offer? Are the games soft? Any other info you can provide.

Thanks.

Sure. I'm hoping it's still the same exploitable bonus money so I can play a shortstack at the higher stake tables as suggested by Andy. Anyhoo, just waiting to get funds into moneybookers, it hopefully should be today. The thread over in the casino bonuses forum looks promising, someone had success with it earlier this month.
