Good stuff. Next stop, Party Poker

For those who have taken adavantage of these bonuses for a while, any advice on when average play is the loosest, or at least its average party play and not overwhelmed with TAg and usually better than average bonus chasers. Or have you noticed a difference?

BrianSwa · #6 02-24-05, 12:19 AM

Not sure what time of the day is best, but since the requirments for this is hands where you are dealt cards and not hands raked I say just play your normal limits. Alot of users multi-table but if your not used to multi-tableing dont or you will lose the money you where gonna get on the bonus. I usually just single table .50/1.00 because thats the limit im used to Most say the $25 NL tables are best way to clear.

omahilo · #7 02-24-05, 12:23 AM

$25 NL tables are the easiest way to clear a party skin bonus

BrianSwa · #8 02-24-05, 12:52 AM

Hey I was right about something........LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!!!!!!!

PShabi · #9 02-25-05, 08:09 PM

Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Party Poker is always fucking with me!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't get the jancashout bonuses, for some stupid reason. Just dropped a "G" in my account for the reload bonus and NO BONUS!?!?

Now I've got to make a phone call, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

PShabi · #10 02-25-05, 08:49 PM

phone call made, problem solved

nutbag · #11 02-25-05, 11:35 PM

Same thing happened to me, sent an e-mail and it was fixed. Won more than the bonus already at 1/2 and 25nl, and i thought it would be tighter

2Tone · #12 02-28-05, 05:53 PM

Took a while this time, even three-tabeling. As usual, my profit rate sucked when playing too many hours/tables at once, so I'm slightly in the red since my re-deposit. I should be able to bounce back with some solid play over the next week.

For the second time now, the BB jackpot was hit while I seated at another one of the tables. Who knows, maybe one of these days.

Monday p.m. update -- Sure enough. After some crappy cards when multitabeling, I settled down at a single table, and was rewarded with Quad queens not 10 minutes later. I've cashed out what I put in, with enough left for a couple of sessions for 25NL.

lightfungus · #13 03-01-05, 12:49 PM

Dont you love the 25NL! And party's bonus is SOOOO easy to clear.

GeoffM · #14 03-01-05, 01:25 PM

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.

drewjax · #15 03-02-05, 06:33 AM

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)?

GeoffM · #16 03-02-05, 08:15 AM

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.

omahilo · #17 03-02-05, 09:33 AM

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.

GeoffM · #18 03-02-05, 10:06 AM

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

.

omahilo · #19 03-02-05, 10:42 AM

yeah Geoff during the 'bonus whore' period things get pretty tight which sucks.

Tony Cheval · #20 03-04-05, 12:43 PM

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.

drewjax · #21 03-07-05, 02:52 AM

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??

Aequitas58 · #22 03-07-05, 03:09 AM

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.

drewjax · #23 03-07-05, 07:56 AM

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.

GeoffM · #24 03-07-05, 08:30 AM

I hope everyone cleared their bonuses.

I actually did notice that people were a lot tighter during this reload period. Bonus whores were out in full force I suppose.

Does Party have one every month?

omahilo · #25 03-07-05, 09:29 AM

yeah party usually has 1 reload a month... in January they had two

January they did a new years reload then the normal January reload. So on major holidays and stuff they might run a promotion or something so keep your eyes open.

Yes DrewJax it is that easy to clear. get dealt cards, raked pot, raked hand

As for playing and having a tightier table during the 'bonus whore' period... depends really, sometimes Ive had some of the tighiest tables around and other times it is even loosen than normal. I play the same regardless because I want to make that $200 bonus + some so I dont think of the bonus as 'I can play like a jackass' money lol.

The odds of having a table of like 3-4 bonus whores is kind of slim since party is apart of the party skin and players from Empire and their other sites also play at the same tables and those sites arent running bonuses. Party has 40-50K on its site at any given time and only a few thousand maybe are true grinder bonus whore types lol.
