Pacific Poker BONUS! Is it possible?

**SmackinYaUp** · 02-16-2005 10:06 PM

Hey! I dont know how long its been going on for but Pacific Poker is offering a 25% up to 100 bonus right...

"For every dollar in bonus money, you will need to wager twenty in raked pots. So, for the full $100 bonus, you will need to wager $2,000"

This sounds a little scary for someone like me who has just enough BR to get the full bonus. Pacific Poker only has $10 and $50NL games and above. Would this bonus be doable at the $10 games? I would hate to clear it at the $50 games because my roll would be a little thin for the games considering I actually have to wager 2 grand to earn the bonus. Sounds like a bunch of crap to me.

Should I just build up another 80 bucks and get the party skin bonuses?

Probably better save up for Party...

Especially without an option to multi-table.

It takes a long long time to finish. However, you are able to withdraw your original money from pacific and you can still use the deposit bonus for whatever pleasure your heart desires. I would use it as a practice fund, before moving up stakes and such so you dont effect your real BR. Once you do clear the bonus though, its a pretty good site full of horrible players.

wait, you don't need your money in to clear the bonus? So, if I wanted to I could put money in and play WAY above my current limits with bonus money I have no intention of ever actually clearing? Then if I have a few lucky hands of say 15/30 or 30/60(whatever there highest limit is) and manage to make a few hundred, could I withdraw my profit still without taking the time to play enough hands to actually clear the bonus?

**SmackinYaUp** · 02-17-2005 03:20 AM

OK THEN. I will deposit 400 bucks, withdraw it all and play with the bonus money on a 2x buyin bankroll at the 50NL tables! OH, and I will crush it.

MAN Pacific Poker sucks!

This is my first reaction after playing about 20 minutes there. The software sucks, chat sucks, options suck, slower than shit, no action

It says 65% of the 9 players are seeing the flop on table "El Jugador", I join and the 4 players and 3 sitter outters are maybe limping in to see the flop 10% of the time.

Although my first pot on there was won by bluffing the flop and turn (getting calls both times) and winning with a high card jack while my second pot won was by having
10-2o and winning with a pair of tens....these people better be that bad for me to abuse my eyes at this hole.
