Where to whore it up?

I'm finishing up a bonus on Paradise and am looking for a new site to try. I'll probably sign up with PSO, but I'm looking for suggestions on which sites to try.

I would want a bonus that would be clearable at the .50/1 limit (either holdem or O8b). Any suggestions?

Golden Palace in on the Doyles room network (tribeca?) so you should be able to clear their bonus at .50/1. although, you have to contribute to the pot not just be dealt in

Bodog is the easiest to clear, both bonus wise and PSO gift wise

And lastly i would say pokerroom, I cleared this in 4 hours playing 1/2 amd 2/4 so it shouldn't take too long at .50/1

I'm currently doing the bonus at PokerRewards, through PSO, I know growlers recently finished it and Trons either finished or is close to fininshing it also.

Bonus on the site is 50% up to $200 clears at 10x the PSO requirement is 750 raked hands (raked at .25). So far not to bad but it seems like just about everyone on there is talking about waiting for their bonus to clear so the .50.1 tables seem pretty tight. I have 1500 hands played and about 600 and change raked at .5/1.

I haven't looked into PFO that much - I need to figure out what goodies from there I want to work for. I'd like to have a chip set but I don't know why - I about never play in home games.

I assume there's no way to get rakeback if you go through PSO, right?

Not sure about the rakeback, I was going to get a chipset but like you I hardly ever play in home games, when I do someone has a set anyway plus I have a 300 chip also. If you take the points every time (my plan) you have quite a bit of things to choose from. Even if you don't want something specifically poker related they have a bunch of gift cards you can choose from like Amazon, Best Buy, Dell, etc.

I WOULD like a new laptop, but something tells me that would take a while to earn....

About about 5 sites, a $300 gift cert. is I think 30,500 points so it's actually 6 at 6000 points a site for the Dell gift cert. I think ones like best buy are 20K points for $200 so if you happen to see one in the store you like... Probably won't pay for the whole thing but you can make a dent in it.... that plus your winnings

I think I remember seeing someone on PSO's forum mentioning some sites had 9K points but I have no idea what that's about. Maybe some of the more seasoned PSOer's can shed some light on that.

P.S. instead of me spamming... PM me I can give you my referal name if you go there. Unless you plan on using someone else that's cool also.

until march 31st you can get 9000 points

enter NEWYEAR as the special promo code (last page of PSO sign up process) and your PSO user name in the comments box.

This works on Party, Bodog, Pokerroom, and Titan

I am going to have to try this if I can escape from Party with any money.

I was up 46 bucks and blew almost all of it in about 45min at .5/1 O8b - fun eh? That may not be much for holdem players, but for those that play O8b you know that takes some effort, espcially with an 18% VPIP.

notice you can get 9000 points for both bodog and pokerroom until the 31st. equates to 2 poker trackers + $90 in gift certificates, or $180 in GC's or whatever else you want
