Bonus Whoring & Micro-Limit

[SideSwipe]

Can any you guys help me on the this...?

I've got $50 I want to use to start bonus whoring, but I can only afford to play $0.25/$0.50 Limit Holdem max. I've checked the Bonus Whores site, but it seems more aimed to players with a bankroll of between $100 & $500. And who also have a lot more time on their hands to play poker than I do.

So is there any decent sites I can play $50 Limit Holdem and earn towards a bonus that doesn't have a time limit either? Most bonus don't seem to work unless you play at least at the $100 limit, or you have to play a lot of poker in that first month to earn something.

Having a quick look, the only two sites that seem to fit my requirements are Ultimate Bet and Absolute. Which would you guys recommend to play at? I normally play at Stars, but I'm not earning any bonus money currently, just points, so that's why I want to move somewhere else.

Cheers,

SS

SideSwipe,

I've never played at Absolute so I can't help you there.

UB bonuses do not expire but are slow to clear. I can only clear less than $1 an hour playing low limit, and around $2 - $3 an hour multi-tabling $25 and $50 NL.

Party bonuses are quick to clear at low limits. You need to play about 700 raked hand in a week to clear $100 bonus, which for me works out to be about 1200 actual hands. I can easily clear it playing an hour or two each day. But you need to deposit $500 to get the $100 bonus. For a $50 deposit at 20% bonus you would earn $10 in bonus money which you could easily clear in one sitting.

BoDog is the only site I know of that will let you clear a bonus playing SnG's

Thanks for the info don300. I reckon UB is my best bet as they do, as you say, have no time limit. So I'll grind away there.

Follow the BW101 Guide and whore all the Party skins. It doesn't matter how much you deposit, you'll still get the % bonus. Build up your BR from there. I started quite low, too, and play the microlimits. Variation sucks when fish suck out on you, but your skills will prove themselves in the long run and you'll +EV...

I asked some question a few weeks ago and someone said that you can actually play with the deposit bonus from Pacific Poker, that is, it goes into you're account instantly though you can't withdraw until the bonus is cleared.

This may not help much, but just to clarify---You can clear bonuses at PStars by playing SNG's...I play quite a few, and it works for me...It still takes awhile though...

Ultimatebet bonuses never expire and can be worked off at the lower limits. Can take a while to clear them but it shouldn't put your bankroll in jeopardy if you play well.
