Ok,

I've decided I want to move to 25NL to start working bonuses on PartyPoker. I was wondering what is the best method to work off bonuses, without risking much money in 25NL. I currently play SNGs 5+1/10+1 and make about 30% ROI.

I was doing the math, and even if you fold every hand, and 1/2 the hands are raked, you get 10 raked hands for 0.70, assuming 10 raked hands per $1 bonus therefore you make a 30 cents profit even if you refuse to risk any money...right or is my math wrong?

So this was what I was thinking...I would play4-5 tables at the same time, and fold pretty much everything but the highest hands...ie AA/KK/QQ/AK....would this be an effective strat to make a reasonable profit, or am setting myself up for distaster? I figure my bankroll will be fine after I make the reload deposit giving me about ~28 buyins to 25NL.

Any suggestions/comments will be appreciated!

This works at Party since the pot does not have to get very big. Other sites it's not necessarily that easy to get a raked hand and you may have to play some poker to stay above water.

Use pokertracker and GameTime+ while you play. Monitor the table's pf% and if it drops below 20% (too many rocks at the table) jump ship to a different table.

I average about 200 raked hands per hour 5 tabling.

Your math is correct about it being 70 cents for two orbits and $1 gross for 30 cents profit.

Unless you are just super unconfident in your ability to play, I would just 4-5 table the 25nl and play a real tight game.

Run about 10-12% vpip and you should be fine. Just set farm and play all broadways and you should grind about $1 for every $3 in bonus.

Or buyin short and push the hands you mention preflop every time. People will call a shortstack with any PP or Ax (or worse) and you should dominate those hands with AA/KK/QQ/(AK?). You should make money this way and don't have to think about it.

What's your bankroll at? If you have $200 I suggest casino whoring to get your bankroll higher with little to no risk. See EasyT or eeeee posts on this subject and use their links.

Yeah. If you don't want to play poker, load up 9 tables buyin for $5 on each and play all in or fold. If you double up or bust, leave and repeat on a new table. Take a look at this post :
