Does the "Sticky" thread say the offer is still good? Better yet, does it say anywhere that it's no longer still good?

Yes, it's good, and it's STILL the best deal on the net. Did I mentioned the 0 raked hand requirement???

Default I'm not a Quitter.

I've decided to stick around and try to clear my bonus on UB.

I have switched from playing at $1/$2 (eeejit's idea) to micro-limits (nikita's idea). Amazingly enough, it seems to be working. I've been multi-tabling, $.02/$.04 & $.05/$.10, starting my own tables as was suggested by Robbie, for the extra 25%. (every little bit helps, when trying to clear bonus. good tip)

Basically, try to play only my blinds, check/fold every other hand(while still collecting UB points, 10 UB = $1.), with the exception of pairs. EDIT: I'm trying to play it this way, but from time to time, I still play the AK,AQ suited, only to lose the hand to a runner runner who caught his little straight or flush. Most of my AK or AQ hands have been while on my blinds, though.

I was down, a little over $100 on Wednesday (-$121 to be exact), as of today, I'm still down, but not as much. Waiting to orbit one last round, so I can collect my UB points before BB and receive an accurate amount to add on here. Loss, as of today, -$67.

I will be trying to at least break even...once that is done, I'll leave $50 in my account, (in order to continue to try and clear my bonus) and withdraw the rest.

My NEW bonus whoring rule - Play less hands, while still collecting points and play my strongest hands only, in order to profit from them. Fold all the rest, just not worth it.

ReelDeal - I agree with you. This is probably not the correct way to play poker. But when you're on a losing streak, I think it's the only way out. This is how most bonus whores clear their bonus, anyway.

It's ok to play tight. A lot of those hands you listed are easy folds from a lot of positions.

I don't love the "fold almost everything" strategy, but it beats the hell out of bunny's former "see every flop" strategy. My God does it ever.

I still think bunny should read a damn poker book though.
