I would like to start taking advantage of some of these bonus's. I've done the CON bonus already and PP and Empire. Right now all I'm doing is playing sng's on pokerstars. I've got $100 I would like to use to try and take advantage of some bonus. Is this enough to start with? I could probably start with more, but would rather not.

Can someone give me some ideas where to start? Maybe kind of a starting list to go from of the easy bonus's to cash out on. I was thinking maybe Carrabian to get there $90 bonus, is this an easy one to get.

Like I said right now all I'm doing is sng's at pokerstars and expereriencing a downswing. So I thought maybe a break from there would help.

Thanks

EasyT is on a distinguished road
You'll find it difficult (maybe impossible) to clear bonuses while playing SNGs. How's your ring game?

Your other obstacle is the size of your BR. $100 is small for Party's NL$25 (you have 4 buy-ins, and "Bankroll 101" suggests you have 15-20). You also can't maximize Party bonuses with $100 deposits.

A possible match for you might be Eurobet. (?) You can get a $25 welcome bonus with your $100 and I think you can turn around and get their $25 October bonus too. You can play blackjack there for another $25 bonus possible, and they have a scratch-card game this month for a $10 bonus (I'm don't guarantee the scratch-card game is EV+ @$10).

You can also get rakeback at Euro if you don't have a rakeback account elsewhere (this is for later down the road). PM me if you need direction here.

Another route might be to run your $100 through Starluck and Planetluck, playing blackjack in hopes of adding $100 from each spot.

I'm sure some other people here will have more micro-BR suggestions too.

Absolute Poker has the microlimits for your BR and they have been doing a 150% deposit bonus up to $150. Like EasyT said it'll be tough to clear it playing SnGs, especially at the buy-in level you should be playing with your BR, so you'll want to play ring. The bonus is released in $10 increments where 100 points = $10, 1 point = 1 raked hand where rake is $0.25 or more. Those hands will be less frequent at the microlimits and so it'll happen slowly, but if you play enough poker it sounds like it could be a good option for you.
