Default Suggestions for a Clean Computer

Okay guys, I just ordered my laptop and should be up and running this weekend. I bought it specifically for poker.

Empire
Party
UB
Absolute
Paradise
Expekt
True
Noble
Stars
Pacific

Think that is all of them. Time to bonus whore some more. Someone want to point me in the right direction?

okay...

Well for easy bonuses you should do Multipoker, PokerNOW, Eurobet, or intertops. Since they are party skins you will only be able to do one unless you can get some more clean computers so choose wisely. They always have the easiest deposit/reload bonuses to clear.

If you can get those four somehow... either through another computer or whatever I would think go and do FTP. FTP's bonus is harder but you play 1/2 so it wont be THAT bad.

GamingClub has a nice bonus too... $200 in bonus I believe and it releases in $20 parts but you have to move up in limits as you keep clearing the bonus but its better then some bonuses.

After this I would do Bodog... 10 and 20% regular bonuses... each bonus is 6x raked hands so kind of like party.

After this I say go Cypto skins.... Pokerplex ($50 bonus each month), Cribbean Sun ($40 bonus each month), and Interpoker (100% match up to $100 each month).

After that it looks like you got the rest of the major sites so you should be good to go. I would stay away from some of the smaller sites for now since there is no HE traffic and def. wont be any O8 traffic.

But if you heed my warning here are some smaller sites....

Pokermountain has a 100% deposit bonus up to $500, Everest Poker has the same thing I believe.

Good luck to you if you do Poker Mountain and Everest lol.

FYI, Eurobet does not offer any reload bonuses.

for sure, looks worthwhile.... Dude, you haven't even done yet!

Work your way down this list:


If you are chasing bonus money, you also MUST set up an account. As a bonus - you think you've seen bad players at other sites... Wait til you see these guys!

I have signed up at Pokerroom, but can't remember what info I gave them and the bonus was never issued when I made a deposit (I don't think).

Not sure. I guess I'll have to create a new email address to use on the sites I am going to whore. Damn, I already have like 4 hotmail accounts .

I just realized too, I can open an account at Pokernow from work, so I can hit up 2 more Party Skins .

I have yet to play, but I did check it out... It's new, but promising. Definitely worth checking out.

I found a new site you might want to check out...



its a pokerroom skin and has the same deposit bonus as pokerroom but its only 6x raked hands and no time limit to clear.

TP can hook you up with a aff. link if he wants.

I just noticed Intertops IS actually a Party skin, so I guess now I need to decide between pokernow, multipoker or coral.

What kind of computer did you get? I am pretty sure I have the perfect computer for playing cards on-line. It's a Toshiba Satellite with a 17 inch widescreen display with hyperthreading. The widescreen/hyperthread is the key though. I can have two tables open side by side on the screen just SLIGHTLY smaller than on a normal monitor and no clicking back an forth from table to table, the processor runs both at the same time. Never that annoying clicking all-in by accident when the other table pops up.

I know nothing about computers, my dad ordered it for me .

My income tax return was a sweet $3200, so I figured why not splurge and buy a compact computer to allow me access to a few extra hours a day at a computer. I'm sure it will pay for itself within a month or 2.

It only sets me back ~$1,400, and it is specifically for poker ONLY, so basically anything with a cable connection will do for me, since the only thing it will have on the screen is poker sites and probably Limewire.

I definately can vouch for InterPoker. They recently bumped their MONTHLY 100% bonus to $100 (from $90 ), and as I've demonstrated, there are some spectacularly fishy players.

And thanks for picking up the Pokerroom skin, I started an account at PR some time ago to mess around with freerolls and such back when I was just learning, don't think I ever put money in it but it's kinda messed up my status there, so I'd just as soon start fresh.

It used to be even easie to clear - 300 raked hands for 90 bucks, but they just changed it this month. It's 8x the bonus amount... so, the full $100 (100% match, mind you) takes 800 hands. Piece of cake.


I don't like the interface, but the players are arguably the worst I have seen to date, and the $100 per month free money isn't bad either...

I love how you just casually "slip" your referral bonus in there.

Wait for the new comp., that is definately my next target.

Nothing casual about it. Just making it nice an easy for you to find.

Not a ton of O8 action at the moment, but c'mon, even you can learn to play HE for that bonus.

Nah, I'll wait for O8 tables. I hate HE with a passion. It is honestly too basic a game and anyone can suck out. In O8 it is a lot more complex and suckouts don't occur nearly as often.

I'll be signing up at Intertops this weekend. Maybe I can learn Stud 8.

Split pot games are the best for clearing bonuses .
