Think it will be Eurobet and Intertops.

TP, can't remember, do you have an affiliate for Eurobet? I'm sure you do, just too lazy to search.

This can't be true, can it? I mean, on basic principle alone, there are 4 cards (variables) in O8 and only 2 in HE. I would think in general, that would make it a lot more profitable (successful) to chase. There are more ways of sucking out, no?

Not yet... they are the ones being annoying and offering me $0 in total if my players are under a certain amount of total rake, which they owuld be, since I assume most people (like you) would just be hitting and running there for the bonuses...

I do have an intertops link though.

There are other non-Party skin sites you should really try though, at least to clear the first time bonuses and be able to take advantage of the reload offers when they have them. Read back through this thread and take a look at some of the suggestions you've been given.

No, not necessarily. For the most past, when i am playing I know when someone is sharing an out with me to one half of the pot, but I will also know I have him beat to the high side. So he may think he is sucking out and winning, but I will give him a dose of reality (usually).

Basically, after the flop, I know who will win what if certain cards come up. It's a gift I have for this game. Days and weeks and months of dedication have helped me. I have to get a life outside of poker, IMO.

Some of the best sign up/monthly bonuses through affilates and the poker sites I know of: -> Most of these I have done myself and are legit.

I Global Media
Empire - $250 + $100 from empire + rake back
Party - $150 + $90 worth in gift certificates
EuroBet - $200/$500 + rake back
Intertops - $100 + rake back
*PokerNow will be taken over by Party soon - there's been a big fiasco involving rake back and what not....I believe you still can get the first time bonus -> some say it's $100 at 5x 20%, but do so at your own risk

Prima - most sites consider any dealt hand raked over $0.25 as a raked hand
Golden Tiger/Poker Rewards - $200 - 1000 raked hands + affilate offer worth $60 in gift certificates
Golden Riveria - $50 deposit bonus - +$20 stackable reload every weekend (Requires 100 raked hands to clear everything)
Bet Holdem - $100 - 700 raked hands + $60 gift certificates
Gaming Club - Up to $300 + $60 gift certificates
Bet365 - $50 - 250 raked hands + rake back

Crypto Sites
Caribbean Sun - $50 first deposit bonus after 250 raked hands + $40 monthly bonus after 500 dealt ($90 after 500 dealt hands) + either a rake back deal or entry to satellite for wsop
Interpoker - $100 monthly - 800 raked hands + rake back
Poker Plex - $50 monthly - 300 dealt + rake back
William Hill - 5 UK Sterlings an hour - up to 25 UK Sterlings monthly + rake back
UK Bet/Total Bet - Same as above but requires money to be set in UK funds instead of USD
Ritz Club - Same as above - for non US residents though
Classic Poker - $100 dollar sign up bonus - 500 raked hands -> no monthly bonuses

IPoker
Noble - $500 deposit bonus + $50 from talking poker
CD Poker - Free Poker Tracker/KEM cards + $100 (10x -> 1000 dealt hands)

Others
Paradise Poker - $50 cash instant + $50 bonus -> 500 raked hands over 0.25
Pacific Poker - $60 cash instant + upto $100 from site (rather difficult to clear)
Absolute Poker - $90 worth in gift certificates (expires Apr 30) or rakeback that doesn't take away from MGR. (Inital Deposit Bonus from Absolute is useless - can get it every week)
Sports Bet - $100 (site says it must be at 1/2 or higher - not true - cleared it at 0.25/0.50) -> 500 contributed rake (every flop you see = raked) + $60 gift certificate

Nope. You just need to move up in stakes and start playing for real money.

nice breakdown Wind...

Dont forget Bodog (20% deposit bonus and regular 10-20% reloads) and the pokerroom skins (pokerroom and Bayou Poker).

Never mentioned Bodog since I can't do it.....not available to Canadians. But there's plenty of affilate offers for those outside Canada.

I never mentioned Pokerroom/skins mainly because it's a bonus that's more geared towards the higher end player. In my opinion, it's only worth while if you play at least $1/2 -> and that's the barely worth while. If you play $2/4 then it should be fine.

Same thing goes for Ultimate Bet, Poker Stars, Full Tilt. Those bonuses are rather hard to come by in comparision some of the easily obtainable bonuses for lower limit players at Party/Prima.

The Cryptological skins should be for players with higher bankrolls. It's a nice monthly bonus, but useless if you bust out before you get the bonus.

OK, so to update, I got this set up yesterday, I downloaded Intertops first and made a $100 deposit, then downloaded Party and Empire. I also downloaded PokerStars. I will now begin working my way down that list TP between reloads and such. PokerRoom is my next target.

Will do.

Omaha, how is the O8 traffic at Poker Room? I'd assume a lot more than most sites.

when I was clearing the deposit bonus then a reload bonus before the O8 traffic isnt bad at all. I was playing 1 1/2 table and 1 2/4 table to clear the bonus before along with some NLHE.

The site has good action and the interface isnt horrible but it just seems to take years to clear that bonus compared to what your used to on party.

Update:

Cleared COMPBONUS .

TP, downloaded Pokerroom using your link, deposited $500. Working away on that bonus when I get home.

Is it in increments or entirely needs to be cleared?
