Lovin' Party Poker

[k3nt]

Recently got a new monitor allowing me to 4-table Party. So I finally played my first games there. Having a grand old time.

The initial $150 bonus is clearing fast even at $25 NL, and I'm up a few buy-ins as well.

I did have AA cracked last night, but it only cost me about 1/4 of a buy-in. Long story short: I raised preflop and got called by T4o and TT; flop was T42. Nice of them both to push after I minraised a bet on the flop, so I could get away cheap.

But most of the time I'm up against the most amazing showdown muppets. I am calling the river and hating myself for bothering to call because I'm 100% sure I'm beat -- then the chips come sliding my way. That happened at least 3-4 times last night. One time I had AQ unimproved. Good stuff.

So far so good. With any luck I won't experience Rhound's syndrome there. Knocking on wood.

Yeah the party poker factor makes it easier to call on the river.

It will actually ruin your game on other sites so be careful if you leave the friendly confines

God bless Party Poker. I played like total crap, still made a few bucks in like 9 hours at the $25 tables (mostly 4-tabling), and cleared $150 in bonuses. Like $16/hr just to sit there and break even. Craziness.

A formal announcement:

I ... AM A BONUS WHORE.... .... Sing it with me! (tune: "God bless America.")


Any reloads going on right now I can take advantage of? I got another $500 to throw at the place.

Also, what do I have to do to get in trouble with the Party Poker gods of bonus whoring? I know if you withdraw and then reload too fast or something you can't get more bonuses, but I remember scary posts about freezing stuff. Guess I'd better go do some re-reading on the forums. But if anybody can confirm, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks mucho folks.

I think that as long as you're playing NL, it shouldn't be a problem... I HATE playing there, but usually deposit when they have a reload, then withdraw again until the next time... I play $100NL, but I'm pretty sure it's probably the same at the $25NL tables...

K3nt,

I think the trouble people were having has more to do with having multiple accounts than withdrawing. I have an account and my wife also has an acount and I play both of them and collect the monthly bonus each month. I do play all through the month alternating between both accounts so Party definately does not see me as a Bonus Whore.

Their withdrawal policy will prevent you from collecting the bonus if you make a withdrawal after the bonus period begins but before you make your deposit. I.E. you can't withdraw and then redeposit right away to collect the bonus. The solution of course is to keep enough money in Neteller to make the deposit each month and withdraw after you clear it.

Good Luck you Whore!
LOL
