can you withdraw before they give you the 600e?

[piersmajestyk]

I am sure there is no problem. I withdrew everything from the account once already and had no problem with getting subsequent bonuses. I think my 90 day period ends around the 5th or 6th when I will withdraw the rest of it.

according to posts over on 2+2 the nov and dec bonuses are still available

OK, heres the martins deal:

euro 600 initial deposit 100%: code novdeposit 3000 VIP required

euro 200 reload 100% code: novreload 600 VIP required

euro 200 relaod 50% of deposit code decreload 2000 VIP required (400 euro deposit for 200 euro bonus)

also, if you clear 3k VIP in a month you get a 50 euro bonus.

All 3 of the bonuses clear concurrently i believe (that is, when you recieve 3k VIP points in your account, all 3 will have cleared. The 600 euro doesnt apprear in your account until 3 months after your initial deposit.

The novreload appeared in my account this morning, just finished my 600th VIP point last night.

Basically, this bonus is flippin sweet, 1050 euro for 3k raked hands in a month.

There is a also a E25 tella friend bonus that clears concurrently after 200 raked hands

Piers or Excession,

Just a few more details if possible

-How is the play there, what limit tables would be best advised to be clearing this bonus at? Are players there 24/7 at the moment?

-How much are the exchange rates for 600 euro going from Neteller to Martins

-And finally it all sounds to good to be true so 850 odd euro or so for 3k raked hands?
am i correct or have i misread?

excession, is that 50 euro bonus have to occur in 1 calendar month or 1 month from your deposit?

[The Golden 1]

Pot has to reach $6 in NL to be raked, and in limit 1/2 and greater it has to reach $10, so its not too fast at the lower limits.

[piersmajestyk]

[excession]

The pot has to reach a rake of 0.35 euro which is a 7.00 pot at PL and NL games

So on the E100 tables it looks like any raise called pre-flop or any bet called on the flop is likely to generate a raked hand. I'll play some tonight and let you guys know how ell it clears.


Incidentally there is a PT handgrabber for b2b network that costs $9 or so. What I don;t know is if any HUD works with it yet...

piers, can you characterize the 6max games at 2/4 (passive, stupid aggro, etc.)? i gave up on the site after clearing the 200 euro bonus due to the fact that i just hated playing there. lots of big bets and bluffs on the river (high variance), few tables of the games i like (mainly o8, but also omaha).

were you able to get a lot of tables that were HU or 3-4 handed? i tend to have a better win rate at these tables more than the max tables.

thoughts on SH strategy at martin's?

[piersmajestyk]

Kus,

I can't really characterize it overall except that in general they are pretty soft. I wouldn't characterize them as too agressive at all there in most cases. You will also get the chance to play shorter than 6 alot of times. I don't know how your multitabling skills are short handed but even playing 2 tables of 2-4 SH limit you will burn through that bonus VERY quickly. You get about 100 hands/table/hr there and I would say 75-80 are probably raked at each table. It is very hard not to show a profit there even if you get killed at the tables because all of those concurrently clearing bonuses.

lots of big bets and bluffs on the river

hey - my style

yep just checked with them - the 'decreload' is 'defective' and they have taken it off my account (I am $550 up is as many hands and don't want to queer the pitch with them so aksed them to clarify it's status on my account.

They didnlt mention any issues with the novreload (which is the better bonus as it's 100% max $240 and releases at 600 raked hands), so I'm hoping still to get that soon.

I won my first $500+ pot last night and have taken my current roll up over $7k now (overall winnings approaching $10,000 !

the scary thing as brit is that any money I win is effectively upped by about 60% (as it's tax free) and on the E1/E2 tables (assuming I can play 3-4 tables for 40+ hrs a week) I only need about 3PTBB/100 to be better off doing this than lawyering... that is insane..

Maths goes $4.4 (1BB) x 3(PTBB) x 200/100 (hands/hr/100)= $26.4 + bonus rakeback/hr on $200 NL tables c $15/hr = $41/hr x 40 (week) x 4.2 (month) = $6888/month (or £3936 tax free/month).

Don't need any private healthcare etc either..

I keep sitting at work punching these figues into my calculator and trying to spot the flaw..I guess maybe you only get a BB of $4 on the non-euro sites but the other figures are all pretty conservative for 6 max
