And there is nothing wrong with that.
However, you are giving up the opportunity of gaining table experience (online) and knowledge of situations. (How people react to what, How you should react to what, drilling pot odds into your game, when to draw, when to not draw, when the odds of Queen high taking down the pot are good etc.)

In my opinion, the extra $100 or so dollars you may gain from folding everything pales in comparison to the knowledge you may pick up by actually playing.
Even if you were to lose $200 of your original $600 deposit, you would only be down $50, and that $50 may have been money well spent if you finally learn that A-Q is not the nuts.

This isn't a bad idea, but I'm sure sooner or later party is going to look into this and take away your bonus opportunities. Btw, are you pressing fold evertime or do you have a program? Cause that's a few hours of play, unless you're 10 tabling or something. and that'd woulnd't be worth the complete boredom of that time for me.

First off I said you COULD do it, not that I recommend it. I will be honest and say I have done it months ago by moving money from one site to another and making 80-90 bucks 4-tabling for less than 2 hours though.

Nutbag, I don't think Party really cares because they are making it all back via the rake and then some by the time you clear the bonus, if it was hurting them they either wouldn't offer a bonus every month or would jack up the raked hand requirements.

I know you saw AA a few times while doing this. Did you really fold it preflop?

Default I won't start a brag thread, but.....

How did you guys do?
Up about 200BB(w/o bonus((is this sustainable?))), I think I got capped on the turn and river holding the nuts or obviously winning second nuts about 6 different times. It had been normal or tighter in the reload period for me beofre, but this time there were just some horrific players.

I cleared less than $300 this time. I was doing well until I decided to take a break from 6 max to play at 3 BBJ tables for a couple hundred hands. Silly me.
