Hey guys! I've run into a problem that I was hoping the FTR community could help find a solution for.
I've been playing the $5nl (full ring) tables at Party, with a bonus and about $50 of profit, I moved to the $10nl (full ring)table. Last night I signed up for the new PP bonus, and got through 600 of the 1000 hands. Well this morning I logged on, and *poof* no more beginner tables. I tried the $25nl table (about $150) under BR, but I figure I could clear the bonus while playing tight. That didn't work, after my 400 raked hands I was down 3 buyins. I'm clearly not skilled enough to play those limits underrolled.
Where do I go now? I probably need to put another 10k hands or so into micro stakes or until I learn to stop making moronic calls. What sites offer bonuses that can be cleared while I improve at mirco-stakes? I know PokerStars offers small stakes, but no bonuses. Most other sites I've seen make you play higher stakes to clear a bonus.
Sorry for the long, confusing post. I'm still tilting.

Bonuses are hard to clear until you hit 25nl at least. One thing you can do is sign up for Battlefield via FTR and get 35% rakeback. They have lower limit tables. The rakeback won't add up to much but it's better than overextending yourself to clear a bonus, especially one with a time limit to clear. Ask around the beginner forums too since many of those people have been through the same.

if you have a small br then maybe try casinodotnet. They have a bonus clearable at 10nl tables. Its very fishy but it will take u a while to clear, but 10k hands will clear it for sure i think. However u wont get rakeback (that i know of anyhow) at that site. Your other option is to go for the prima network, you can get a decent rb deal (prob30-45%) and the tables are pretty variance free if you play a nice Taggy game. I dont know how great bonus you will get on the mass amount of sites on prima however. You may just have to clear sites like riverbelle without rb.
I guess there is bodog where u can have 25% (best i think) rb but only 10% bonus but that shud clear quick enuf so that might be worth a stop.
Of course if you arent br'ed to play 10nl yet then either paradise or stars would be my choice but you dont get direct rb at either site. Dise would prob be my choice of the two.
Hope that helped a bit.

btw, i hate doing this to ftr, but if your gona sign up for rb on prima dont use battlefield as the rb terms suck.
Mods/admins, get a deal with one of the others mmmk?

Myke, I've never played on any other sites, so I know nothing about ease of bonus clearning, but what went wrong at Party?
Good luck, and I may be following you when I'm kicked off the beginning tables.

Thanks for the advice Miffed.
Yorib: my beginner status at Party ended before I had the bankroll to move up to the 25nl tables. I tried and lost several buyins finishing the latest bonus. I've got to move to another site where that offers stakes at my current level.

Myke, I'm going to be moving soon as well. I'm thinking about BoDog just because pokerlizard? offers poker tracker for new sign ups, and I've read good things about the micro stakes there.
Let me know what you find, and I'll do the same.
Good Luck
