I have had way too much bankroll for the lousy little games I prefer to play ($100 and $50 NL). I prefer to play low-stress poker. Yes, it's a weakness, and I would make more money if I could suck it up and move up and live with the variance. But I can live with my weakness better than I can live with the variance I guess....

I've been taking money out to invest it, mostly. Which is going well. But that's a whole different thread.

Anyway, I wanted to write this post because I reached a milestone with the last withdrawal. I have now taken out the equivalent of all of my poker winnings. But my bankroll is still pretty significant, with plenty of buy-ins available. Every penny of it is bonus money!!

That's awesome, good for you! What sites do you play at to get all these bonuses? I play at UB and I'd rather watch paint dry than think about how slow those clear...

I know Party doesn't offer them on a regular basis, or do they? I'm thinking of returning there once I hit my BR for $25 NL.

Party just sent one out...different for different people.

Atta boy k3nt!! Congrats. At 20hrs/week of 100NL, I think I can make 1k/month in bonuses...at the 200 level (which I hope to be at in 3 months) I can double that...my buddy playing 400NL think he can reasonably bring in over 3k/month just from bonuses (and he plays fewer than 20hrs/week by far). YOWZA!

this equates to $35/hr even if he played 20hrs/week- how many tables is he playing?

I was assuming 5 tables like me...which is wrong. I make around 11/hr + rakeback 4-5 tabling 100NL

Check the whoring 101 on BW and they'll give you the lowdown too.

There is no reason for anyone to not take advantage of free money...even 1000NL people would be stupid to pass up free money for doing what they're doing anyway IMO. Can't wait till I move up to $200 for good and start clearing them even faster. Right now I can make 500-800/month in bonuses at $100NL at about 12hrs/week of 4-6 tables.

So the easiest and best way to start is to use the BW101 list of different sites and just start to work your way down to the bottomof the list?

Well, you can stop after a certain point and just keep hitting the many many reloads that go around regularly. Whoring the pokerroom and B2B sites will keep you busy enough.
