i've pretty much stuck to pokerstars since I started playing online starting with their .01/.02 and working up to .25/.5 now.

planning on making a eurobet account now...since from what I've heard the players there are fishier should I adjust my style/play a little tighter or just play the same as I did on PS?

I'd actually say that pokerstars is a good bit fishier.... (I play on both), but I play at the 100$NL tables and the lower ones might be diffrent.

As far as I know, pokerstars and party skins are the fishiest sites .... I'd love to know of other ones =)

Q. Is poker Gambling?
A. Do you use correct bankroll management?

I guess most places people who are new play on the lower tables, and sites who have $25 for NL as lowest, like Empire where I am now, should have more fishes on those tables compared to sites who start at $2 or $5 for lowest? At least I play there and I'm no expert

hmm, isn't eurobet a party skin? or maybe i misinterpreted your post...either way every place i've looked says pokerstars games are tougher than pp's...however if anyone else has any comments on this I'd love to hear it

Get a BR of $500 and start bonus whoring all Party Skins (Party, Empire, Multipoker, PokerNOW, Intertops, and Eurobet). Make sure you set up rakeback accounts for Eurobet and/or Multipoker.

With decent play you will have a BR of $1500 or more in no time.

hmm, seems like a good plan...i have virtually no experience with bonus-whoring though so I have a bunch of (probably dumb) questions about it..also just to verify, I already have a PartyPoker account which I never really used except to collect my initial $25 bonus and then another $50 or $75 (cant remember which) after x raked hands. I assume this means I can't collect another bonus from PP, but I still can from the other skins? Someone also set up a rakeback account on Eurobet for me which I haven't touched yet. Anyway heres the dumb questions

1. Do I share the same br between all of PP's skins? i.e. If I deposit $500 on Eurobet is the same $500 available for Party/Empire/etc?

2. Do all the skins have the same bonus offer (%20 up to $100)? Meaning with the 6 party skins you listed I would get +$600 right away from my $500 deposit? I only saw reviews for Empire/Party here.

3. Is it possible to multitable on more than 1 skin at a time?

You start out with $500. You go to Multipoker and clear their 20% up to $100 initial sign-up bonus. You withdraw your money and go on to the next site. Clear the bonus, go on to the next site.

Multipoker, PokerNOW, Party, Empire, and Intertops all have 20% up to $100 bonuses. Eurobet has a bonus that is worth no more than $50, but you're going there for rakeback anyway.

So, there are at least $550 in initial sign-up bonuses alone. Party, Empire, Multipoker, and Eurobet all have some sort of bonus to clear every month (the first thee sites usually have $100 bonuses). If you play break-even poker you should make at least $800 in your first two months.

I think I answered above which skins have what bonuses. You'll have to jump around from site to site to clear these bonuses. Deposit your original $500, clear a bonus, withdraw.....go to the next site, and repeat as necessary.

Yes. You can have four tables open at each site, so you could, theoretically, have twenty-four tables open using the Party network. I eight-table on two monitors from time to time.

Since no one mentioned:

You will need to have a clean computer for each Party-skin sign up. Go to the library or use a friends computer or something. Once your account is created, you can go home and play on your own computer.

There is also a method of "cleaning" your existing computer using "REGEDIT". Sometimes this does not work, but it usually does.

If you need more instruction, just ask.
