daven will become famous soon enough
Trying to figure out where to go/which bonus to hit next.
Background:
  • I have accounts at Pacific, Party, Empire and Purple Lounge.
    My computer is old, not sure how well it would cope with any clients that are resource intensive.
    I am not able to play much at the moment due to other commitments.
    I plan to devote a LOT of time to poker from April next year - so I only want to hit the bonuses that I can currently maximise, others will wait until later.
    I have turned $200 into $1500 the last few months.
    Playing $10NL and $25NL full ring and/or short handed - depends how I feel. Slowly realising that I should learn to become a good TAGgy player. Likely to start playing $50NL shortly, just need to get completely comfortable with the pot sizes.

At the moment I am looking at depositing $600 into either Full Tilt or Cake for the 100% bonus + rakeback. Any thoughts on which I should choose? or other suggestions?
Might open a stars account with $50 as well, and try my hand at some sng's.

Leave FT until next year I reckon (and don't forget you get rb there too). Have you considered Crypto? Sun has effective 31% rb and excellent bonuses (take a while to clear at $25nl but they do clear).

Miffed22001 is on a distinguished road
look for prima skins to sign up where you need to play RAKED HANDS to clear the bonus, then proabbly play .5/1 or 1/2 LIMIT holdem to clear.

Otherwise try the boss media network and locate some of their sites that offer $150 bonuses (released as $10 and then $90 and then $50) where you have to play 1500 raked hands.
Those sites will probably be written in romanian and stuff however.

Thanks for the tip! I've had a good look at that now (hadn't really before). Looks all good except for the bonus expiry - I'm not certain that I would get the required hands in within the month playing $25nl, Think I'll head there once I'm comfortably playing $50nl.
I've heard that the software is a little resource hungry, is it any worse than any of the other major sites?

Thanks for the suggestions
is it possible to have accounts on multiple prima skins?

I read through the spanish and german sites, these ones were clearing at 20%contributed rake. Don't speak romanian unfortunately, I'll look further into that though

you can have accounts on different prima skins, but you can only have 1 nickname on the prima network, but 1 account on doyle's room and one on purple lounge and one on battlefield poker is no problem at all

Crypto you can choose the level of bonus to go for - with decent planning the bonuses are good to take advantage of (most I cleared in a month was $450, I think, but that was at $100NL 6max). I also haven't notice it being resource hungry, no, though it does occasionally disconnect.
