I got an $80 bonus coming, about 200 hands into 560. Down $20 , lots of suck out counterfeit lows nailing me on the river. Luckily my Absolute is taking care of me, $20 of $70 in bonuses cleared and I'm up an additional $70 on top of the $20 released to my account already. I never thought about it but probably a good idea to take out the $200 in there now and just clear bonuses with the $90 I'll have left over.
I'll be playing Party tonight, O8B, if anyone is on, post screennames and I'll come say hello. I'm GeoffreyM and you can find me dominating the 6 handed 1/2 and getting raked hands in the 10 handed .50/1.

Just noticed that you only have 7 days to clear reload bonus as opposed to normal 30 days on others? Is this correct, and do many of you have trouble clearing (say $100 or so) in 7 days at low limits (1/2 or lower)?

Shouldn't be a huge problem. I have until Sunday, I already have 350 raked hands in 3 sessions. Just multi a 1/2 table with a .50/1.00 table and play squeeky tight.

clearing bonuses on party are easy even in 7 days because you get a raked hand even if you put no money into the pot... you get a raked hand just for being dealt cards.

While other sites sometimes require you to have money into the pot or the rake be so high before it counts.

Omahilo, just me or have the suckouts in O8 on PP sucked dick lately. Also, the tables are a lot tighter. I guess it's the skilled bonus whores. I dropped $65 in 2 days .

Oddly enough, I haven't had that much success at PP, guess I haven't adapted well to all the crazy chasers. Now InterPoker, that's my bi....ahem.

Wasnt aware of that. So as long as you see cards, and the hand is raked ($5 min. pot I think) you get credit for a raked hand? Is this right? Sweet.
I know alot of you do the reload all the time, do you play any differently when you are clearing (tighter, looser, whatever ) due to clearing, or becasue others are clearing??

The bonus is so easy to clear, I don't think it's necessary to change anything. Sure, if you're at a tight table, and it would be more lucrative to loosen up, then do so ... but otherwise - just play poker, and the raked hands melt away.

Besides, when its "bonus clearing time" I don't notice a change in play. That is ... enough of a change to dictate switching gears.

ok, makes sense, thanks AEQ. Just starting to play Party abit. I have always avoided it like the plague, and called Party the devil!!
I guess I have come over to the dark side.
