Which one is more profitable? I was thinking either joining UB through raketherake, or joining party in claring out the bonuses.

Also, could party's bonuses be cleared through the 10nl games?

Thanks

It depends. Check out the last few posts in the http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=23680 thread.

If you do UB rakeback then it will be with a 3rd party and has that some potential risks. Give our rakeback page a good read and check out some of the rooms on the bottom.

Plenty of bonuses on offer at the moment, check out the reviews.
Party/empire have easy clearence bonuses, ap although not a great site has a good initial bonus. You've unfortuatly missed checkNraise.com (a pokerroom skin) awesome 100% up to 600 bonus but look around if your looking for bonuses and ask too!

As a beginner, bonuses are a better way to go. The return on some of these bonuses are really good. You'll also probably be playing lower stakes, and many of the bonuses are paid off by number of raked hands (as opposed to the stakes). Once you start to move up in stakes and start multi-tabling, and you know which online poker room you plan on sinking most of you time, then rakeback is ideal.

The problem with playing for bonuses as a bieginner instead of rakeback is that in the future when u want RB, you will have to jump through hoops if you already have an account at hte site that you want to play at.

You should realyl just sign up for rakeback at all the sites u play at and then just clear bonuses till one day u decide that rakeback is more important to you and then voila, you already have it.

I dont know who controls it but i cleared the bonus in one 3 tabelling 25nl ession of 3 hrs. So, yeah they are easy to clear.
Definatly, ask dwarfy too, the average player has tightened his game up but full ring 25nl playing AK/AQ big pps and set farming still works and ive broken it well enough after about 3 weeks of play.
I think from now on though new starters might well look at paradise or even ap as places to start. Both ahve good bonuses, but aps can be harder to clear at lower stakes but both have enough fish to make it proitable.
Pokerrom and its skins are a good option too, bonuses are a bit lower but players there suck bad
