Hi all. I'm relatively new and already have a PS and UB account. I'm ready to do some more bonus whoring while improving my 25nl game and I stumbled upon PokerRoom and HollywoodPoker. What are the differences and how much bonus can be cleared 2 or 3tabling 25nl in those 30 days? Anyone got any experience?
Thanks in advance!

It would probably take you about 150 table hours 4 tabling at $25NL to clear 1000 points at Hollywood. You'll want to play at a higher limit. Still doable in 30 days at $25, but depending on how often you play, that may be your whole month

I love these two sites. But I havn't played NL25 in a long time. They have 5x and 7x bonuses up for grabs. If others say these are no good at NL25, I'd take their word for it.
REMEMBER: Always play within your bankroll. If you move up in stakes to clear a bonus, you are begging for disaster.

Hollywood $200 for 1000 player points is the best. Takes 8-10k hands to clear the lot. The play is pretty slow, but there's always loads of tables running. Be prepared though, the games are much fishier than PS or UB. Make a hand and bet the shit out of it.

Just cleared a $200 (9x) Hollywood reload. Took less than 3K hands playing 2/4 limit. But I did not start playing those limits until I had a grinded out a $2K bankroll.

This got me thinking... it seems like a decent number of these sites can be cleared quite quickly at 1/2 limit and lower. I've recently cleared the William Tell bonus, and thought that was simple enough. Any thoughts or input on grinding Limit for bonus?
I'm not looking for top notch overall strategy, I'm looking for a repeatable low-variance way to eat up a ton of bonus money. Could somebody give me an idea of a VP$P or PFR for the combos of tight/loose and passive/aggressive tables?
Following the EP, CO, Button and blinds philosophy, I could easily come up with a rock-ish strategy, but thought I'd ask the experts. Tks

So you click their picture and then you get their money?

Are you talking about 25nl here, cause that sounds pretty easy then.

Yeah, at 25nl you'll average about 1/10 of a player point per hand, maybe a bit more. I did it a few weeks ago, and I think it took me about 8-9k hands.

I went for the $50 7x bonus and played 25 NL. Took me 2225 hands to earn the 350 points.
A 7x $50 reload took me 2600 hands to earn the same 350 points.
Will clear quicker at 50 NL but not at double the pace.
Hollywood and Poker Room share the same players. No big difference between sites but if you believe what is said on different forums the customer support at Hollywood might be better, quicker and more player friendly.

Thank you people, I've been searching the net for ages, trying to find the differences between the two. As always, FTR prevails ehehe. Very glad to hear it clears so fast too. Gl all.
