Should Beginners worry about Bonus and rakesback if playing low limit micro from .02/.04 to .25/.50?

because it seems like most bonus and rakebacks are for playing limit of .50/1 and higher to qualify for it.

thanks

You can worry about bonuses if you want. You may not be able to clear them easily, but you can clear them eventually and get some extra $$.

But rakebacks are not a concern. You need to play a HUGE amount of higher stakes to consider those.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Beginners should worry about bonus, try (REALLY HARD) to deposit the maximum amount for maximum bonus. Unless you have no idea how to play or go on a HORRIBLE downswing you should be up after you clear your bonus, especially a $100-200 one.

Ha Rakeback, not important unless you're starting out at 30/60.

there no way to clear bonus if you play lower than .25/.50


dont most bonus require you play .25/.50 and up to qualfy for rake hands?

so if i play at .02/.04, .05/.10, .10/.20 i dont need to worry about bonus right?

once i reach .25/.50 and higher, than start to look for good bonus?

Oya, I didn't read what limits you played at....

Ya once you move up, pay attention to the bonuses, they're $\/\/337!

Try to get the max bonus too!

leave your options open. if you can't get any rakeback just play at stars. they don't have rakebacks. paradise doesn't either. those places are pretty good training grounds for microlimits.

but seriously you all need to leave some skins open so you can sign up under rakeback. when you get to 2/4 and higher, your rakeback is more than a reload bonus.

Don't think you can get rakebacks for Multipoker either.
It's a party skin, and they offer up to $150 bonus.
might be a place to start

you can clear bonuses at any limit at VCpoker/golden palace whatever. I'm clearing about $4 per hour 3 tabling 0.05/0.1 NL. Bonus is 25% up to $100.
