Hi,

I decided try B2B network thanks for this forum. I am currently
working www.pokerihuone.com because its in my native
language and 1 of my friend playes there so we did refer a friend
bonus. Which was paid after 12 hour waiting.

My real goal is to get ticket for EPT or WSOP by VIP points so
decided to try B2b.

Pokerihuone has 30% max 200 EUR bonus which means 2000 VIP
point. 1 VIP point is achieved for any pot which has 0.31 eur of rake.
So no problem at all, I got 360 VIPs after 4-5 hour session. Interface
is good too.

But negative comments follow here. I managed to do my first
losing session this year. After 4-5 hour session I was down 75 eurs
if u count 25 refer-a-friend bonus I was down 50 eurs. Not good at all.

In Pasific I would have posted propbably 100 gain in that time

I played early evening local time so there was not very much
players. SO I had to play 0.5/1 and 1/2 FL. That's the only
reasoanable way to achieve VIP points easy enuff. FL is not my
best game. I beat 25NL and 50NL consistently but guess what?

At the time I played most of the 25NL and 50NL tables were shorties
they were 6 or 8-max. So average pot was not very often over 7 dollars
which is required to get 1 VIP point. I wondered where are 10-max
NL tables which is my normal game.

Tables seemed to be quite tight too and I got lots of bad beats
in FL because I could not stop people drawing. I missed my NL
game

I think I am not comfortable to play 100NL or 200NL
game yet.

Today I have a chance play at evening so I give it another try.
Any tips for B2Bs and .5/1 and 1/2 FL game? Lol

8 max tables are the biggest they have that I have seen so far. And they dont seem to fill too many of them.

Double post?
Anyway, B2B is very tough. Suckouts are crazy there and the swings are huge. There are some fish there but there are many tricky and aggressive players. And then there are the pure bonus whores who are very tight. You have to develop a B2B strategy. I would say control the pot size with TPTK or less instead of trying to bet people out of the hand. Drop overpairs to major resistance - even AA/KK. That's a start.

There are easier to clear bonuses at lower stakes. Don't play over your head just to earn this bonus because you may lose more than the bonus and it could adversely affect your game and confidence.

I'm doing TopRanked and I'm down $200 after being up $400 after 1k hands. I wasn't doing the things I mention above. If I had I would be positive at a minimum.

i like b2b for one reason if top pair no good u find out on the flop and if you get called beyond the flop with top pair you pot the turn or push.
I dont know how you can get players who are soo tight yet chase for horrible odds.
