I decided to try some of the other poker sites to see what they offered. I signed up with Pacific Poker the other day and they gave me $25 free.
In 2 days of play (maybe 6 hours total), I've turned the free $25 into $163.78.
I'm playing on the NL $10 tables. It seems like ideal conditions.
When I have a big hand and raise, I get a bunch of callers. (Yes, isolation would be better, but building a big pot isn't bad, either.) I've gotten 5-6 callers on $1 raises (1/10 of the buy-in) before.
And if I don't raise, usually no one else does. So I can limp in with all sorts of weak hands that could flop big ... from any position.
And people will call pot-sized bets (after I raised pre-flop) with draws.
I've never seen a game this weak before. 
Does anyone play on this site? Have you had a similar experience?
Does it get much more difficult as you go up to NL $50?
It seems the only real problem with this site is that you can't multi-table.

FishMagician says the $50 tables are soft too. There is a post around here somewhere...

Not a problem if you have multi-computers, or even multi-poker clients on one computer.
I am about to be in a position to deposit. What is the BEST bonus out there? The Gaming Club? That's where I'm starting, as of now. Someone point me to a better bonus if there is one.

How much is the bonus on The Gaming Club?
I think UltimateBet has 40% on deposits (up to some max). But UB is far from fishy.

Not that I know of. I just opened an account, then didn't put any money in it. The next day, I got the following message:
"Congratulations!!!
Pacific Poker is pleased to inform you that your account has already been credited with a $25 Bonus. No deposit is required!"
I was actually thinking about skipping the site once I found it was single table only. Then they gave me free money, so I had to play.
I read somewhere that The Gaming Club also has very weak NL games. Can anyone corroborate this?
It looks like you will have to play something like 4500 raked hands to take down that $300 (if my math is right).

I hear you get $20 for every 100, so
300/20 = 6
6 X 100 = 600 raked hands.
at .50/1 a good % of the hands will be raked, so they're adding damn near 20 BB/100 to yr profit.
PS: I haven't confirmed this by doing it, but i think gabe has.

Im playing the 50 dollar tables right now and these guys really suck. God I love them. Um I mean these tables are really hard... Don't play here. At least until I make 2000 that is.
