 I'm close to finished clearing the FullTilt bonus and I'm looking for the best first deposit bonus + rakeback to chase next. I think I'm better off moving and clearing bonuses while I play rather than simply continuing to make a couple of BB/100 where I am.

I already have accounts at:
Full Tilt
Empire/Party
Pacific
Purple Lounge

* I'm feeling comfortable playing 50nl fullring, don't anticipate moving up for a while (until I have 45buyins).
* I'm not US based, so i can play any site
* I'm using a slow computer, so probably no Ongame for me
* Poker Tracker compatibility preferred
* currently 6-tabling, looking to build slowly to a few more
* I expect to have a LOT of time for poker by the time May comes around, so if it is doubtful I'll clear a bonus due to time constraints then I'll wait a few months before I hit it

Any thoughts/help appreciated

 here's a thought...move up limits for crying out loud. you dont need 45 buy ins to play 100NL. 25 is sufficient as long as you are ready to move back down when you lose 4 or 5 bi.

 I would go to absolute and try to clear their $500 bonus + RB. I would hit up the BBJ tables since the extra rake is worth the fishies there.

I'll move up once I'm destroying 50nl. And I know 25buyins should be enough, but I'm a bankroll nit. I may reconsider once bankroll reaches $3500.

At the moment I'm considering Sun, Tower, and Absolute.

well i dont know how you have the discipline to keep playing 50NL when you have 35 BI for 100NL. however, at least you will probably never go broke!!!

also dude, you are playing on some weak sites right? if you beat 50 NL theres now way you dont beat 100NL, and probably 200NL.

 I don't yet have 35buyins for 100nl, I will almost certainly take a shot when I do!

as for weak sites, I've only played 50nl on FullTilt so far - means you're probably right 'cos I do ok there and I don't think it's as soft as others. Maybe I should simply go play Party 50nl next time I get a reload bonus - see if it's as easy as legend suggests

Thanks for the input
