Hello Everyone!
I am still rather new, and don't really know everyone yet (although there are a few avatars I have grown to love over the last few days!), but I have a few questions that are semi-related, probably old as the dirt, but hopefully won't arouse too much anger.
1) I saw mentioned by one person that they made over $800 in one month in bonuses....Is this replicatable month after month utilizing bonuses and prop play? I don't mind being a bonus whore---if that is in fact a bad thing as the name would tend to kind of imply---and actually like the idea of prop play. My game does not suffer in short handed situations.
2) What place is the best for me to start off at with a smaller bank roll that won't eliminate my ability to later earn subtancial "initial deposit bonuses"? Are there any that "give" you a bank roll to start out for signing up? I thought someone might have mentioned one but I can't remember in what thread
3) Assuming I have about 20-40 hours per week to play, where are the best places that I can best utilize prop play, rake bonuses, etc to maximize my income? I realize that Empire/Party are the best two for "fish", according to the general consensus, and other people say Pacific is a good place to clean up right now because all the experienced "limit" players are getting slaughtered in the new "no limit" tables, but these don't offer bonuses based on the amount of play, do they?
Although this doesn't cover my entire realm of questioning, it is a good start, and I would really appreciate help from anyone with experience in these things. I tried to post this same question basically twice yesterday, more expansively, but do not see them on the boards today which is why it is appearing again. If a moderator is removing my questions and is upset with me I am definitely open to criticism and will stop breaking rules if that is the problem. Otherwise consider the above few sentences my informing of a glitch in the system.
IN any case, like I said, this is a good starting point and I look forward to helpful advice from the experienced pros around FTR.
Thanks a lot and I look forward to meeting and hanging out with everyone around here!

Can the 7 Sultans $15 "no deposit required" bonus be used for a poker account? Same question with Captain Cooks....

yes; if you make any money you will be req. to deposit a min. of $20 in order to get the money out.
so for instance you make $150 with that $15 you will have to deposit $20 of ur own to get that $150 out.

1) The bonuses are generally offered to first time customers and it’s easy to collect about 800 dollars of bonuses in less than a month. These sites also offer additional reload bonuses for existing customers but they are generally not as sweet. The also don't occur frequently enough to sustain that amount. However, there are alot of pokerrooms out there to collect bonuses from and if you worked hard at it I would imagine you might be able to sustain some money per month from it. I don't know much about being a prop. When you do sign up with the pokerrooms make sure to go through this site for some of them to support a good resource.
2)Stars is an excellent place to start. It has micro limits and you won't lose much in the way of bonuses.
3) Prop play is offered at the smaller startup sites. Rakebacks are offered through affiliates. I believe Ttanaka, one of the administrators of this site, is offering a rakeback program for empire now.

Thanks Lucid!
I will download the Stars program (if there is one) and plan to start off there. I am downloading the 7 sultans program now since they offer a startoff roll free with signup and will use this in the interim between now and the much awaited time I can deposit money (1-2 weeks).
And I will go through FTR on whatever sites possible to support the resource and community. I love FTR!

After getting my chips from 7 Sultans it turns out said chips cannot be used in the poker room, unfortunately.
It appears I will have to wait until I have depositable money to begin my career at Stars.
