And more lucrative, less risk, and quicker clearance with the casinos then poker. Just my opinion though.

I hear ya Lou. It can get a bit repetitive and boring, but it's fun cashing out after a few hours (at the level I play poker, I clear 100 bucks much faster at the BJ tables).

I haven't done any casino whoring....but I've always assumed it was a lot less effort than poker whoring but with much larger variance/risk associated with it. I know there are a few like the IGM and 888 who's bonus are relatively low risk, but some of the other ones seem as though the risk of ruin is higher than what I would like it to be.

There is VERY little risk to busting out on a lot of the casino bonuses out there. Starluck, Planetluck, William Hill, Intercasino, etc all have fairly low wager requirements. If you bet the minimum, given the houses edge puts you around $90 profit for the 100% on $100 casinos...

Because most people aren't disciplined enough to stick to the minimum bet. I almost busted out of one where i did that, but managed to get my head on straight and grind out the bonus with the minimum $1 bet.

Also, avoid the sticky bonuses (Golden Palace, etc) to start off with. I'm not trying to make any money off of anyone here. I've had a good experience with casino bonuses and want to help you boost your eggroll. The key is discipline, plain and simple.

Are you just trying to stretch your weenie roll out until you can make a bigger deposit? If so, I think SNG's give you the most play for the money, plus they are pretty profitable. You won't get rich quick, but you won't go broke either. The other option is to play what you're comfortable playing and hope you don't hit a bad run of cards.

I guess I am? I mean - if I lose, then I'm done for a while. So I have to keep that in mind. That being said, I'm still not afraid to gamble it.

I'm not tryna make this eggroll grow to huge amounts, but if I were to get it above 200, I would feel much more comfortable. I didn't do too well late late last night... so I think I have like 55 now. LOL. This is silly.

I think I'll play a mixture of cheap SnGs, 5c/10c nl, and every once and a while I might sit at a $1/2 6m/LHE table - with my fingers crossed!

I agree, but online casinos bust out a lot quicker than the poker rooms.
