    Default bonuses to clear for my Operation

    This is some prelim. work for my Operation go to into Poker Etc. (I have yet to complete the post)

    Basically aiming to make $1,500-$2,000 over the course of my 26 day Christmas break from college. I should have finally set up my bank and Neteller accounts by the time so I can start taking advantage of bonuses.

    Assume $500-$750 to start with for the bonuses.

    What sites should be hit up in what order?

    Miffed22001 suggested bet365, checknraise (he is currently clearing that and writing a review), Empire (is this site too rocky now to clear the bonus?), Party, AP

    Are these the only ones worth clearing? What order should I do this in to make it the quickest/most profitable?

    What sites do you already have accounts set up at?
    How many hrs/day (or hrs/week) will you be able to play?
    Are you good with 2-tabling? 3? 4?

    I think we of FTR can plot a 26-day itinerary for you!

    Depending on your answers above, I don't think $1,500 in bonuses is unreasonable. I'm talking bonus (and maybe some casino) money. I'm not counting your profit on the tables, which could easily double this number (you appear to have above average skills for NL$50)...if you're really planning to put in some time almost every day.

    PM already sent, but for the public...

    Finish the 15 starter PartySkin bonuses (welcome, IGM, Epass)

    Paradise $100/10x

    Bet365 - Welcome, casino, December bonanza ($100/5x, $100/20x, $100/5x)

    Other Primas - GR, TGC, BH'em ($50, $100/5x, $100)

    B2B's - Dreamlandpoker.ru & No1Poker (14 day limit 50e/50e/100RH) &(50%/200e/3000RH)

    Crazy casino money $$$$

    AND RIGHT NOW, 300 DEALT hands at PokerPlex (a Glitch? -- not listed bonus, not raked, DEALT) -- $50 bonus, played at 100NL, count using downloadable 'cryptocounter' freeware software. Really. Won't last.

    Boss Poker rooms and some Crypto poker rooms (waiting periods).

    I don't know it all, but most of the rest of the list has
    • time periods
      impractical stakes (for you)
      slow clearing
      tough play
    or other hinderances to your 26 day time period Operation.
    I'm a know-it-all.

    I only have accounts on PokerStars (where all my money is) and UltimateBet (which I use for playing penny stakes Triple Draw), so its all up for grabs...meaning I can sign up for any site that I can use Neteller for.

    I can 2-3 table (I used to 4 table 25NL 6max, but I don't think I can properly play 50NL that way) 6max so 3+ tabling full ring shouldn't be a problem.

    I'm not doing $1,500 in bonus money, its $1,500+ in total profit...I just figured some bonuses would be a nice boost and make it a tad easier to meet my goal.

    Since it is break I can easily devout 5+ hours a day (and don't mind doing so, or more,if it is needed) to meet my goal. Thank you for thinking I'm above average for 50NL I know $1,500 is only 1 buyin a day ($57 a day for 26 days) so making more is probably within grasp, but if I can hit my $1,500 goal quickly I'll try to maximize my profits during this extra time to the fullest extent I can.

    Absolute is a good one, as Is bodog, since they always have bonuses going, so you'll never have to be playing bonus-less.

    I stand by my claim...because you are better than the average NL$50 player. At most sites the competition is less difficult than Stars.

    If you really do 4+ hours per day, 2-3 tableing, and always play for a bonus, you should be able to clear $1,500 in bonusses and earn ~double that after play!!!

    I'm not nearly as good a player as you, but play NL$50 and always for a bonus. I play probably 25 hours/week and clear $1500/month.

    I have faith in you. I will be watching your OPERATION thread and will be making recommendations as you go, to make sure that you always have a clearable bonus to play for.

    You should aim for $3k (but I guess plan to be happy with anything over $2,000).

    If you are used to camping in just two poker rooms, it could be stressful moving BR around to multiple rooms, with cash out lag time and various bonus clearing requirements. The activity level is worth it, money wise, and so it is worth it to accept help and advice from someone who's done it -- it'll save you a ton of time and effort, not having to read boards and T&C's.

    The longer term benefit of your Operation will be the huge increase in reload bonuses that will be offered to you for months to come.

    BTW, I've got a 3.4k bankroll, so I'm hoping this won't be stressful on it (though it shouldn't)

    I know the $600 bonus is over, but I believe they still offer something like 20% up to $120. Still would be worth it to clear that bonus.

    With this bankroll you should really consider moving up to 100NL. You would have 34 buyins. It really isn't very much different from 50NL, and based on your posts I think you're more than capable of beating the game.

    While I might be capable of beating the game, I haven't moved up because the only reason my bankroll is that large compared to my game is because right after I moved to 50NL I scored a nice MTT win. So I still feel I have a lot to learn about patience and thinking before moving up one more time
