EuroPoker 100% to $150

[redz]

Anyone tried the EuroPoker 100% to $150 new player bonus? I've just signed up and played about 4-5 hours of .50/$1 and .25/.50 holdem 3 tables at a time. I have 60 of the needed 1500 points . So about 4% complete. I'll be moving to .50/$1 all the time when i get used to the software though. So im hoping for about 60-70 hrs play for the bonus. So ill earn just over $2 an hour if I break even. I'm $150 - $179 so far. I'm a break even player but getting better.

Anyone any tips?

OH GOD NO NOT ANOTHER POKERROOM BONUS

GET OUT! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!

No shit, the 1,750 point bonus I have is looking to put me on suicide watch at 1/2. I can't even imagine it at .5/1. I suppose waiting until you can play 2/4 or better isn't a very useful tip now. Just keep chipping away at it. The one thing you don't want to do is go beyond where you are now and abandon it, because every hand played becomes more valuable when the bonus is paid all at once.

lol looks like i didnt pick the best site for my first bonus whoring mission?

Off work with a cold so i hammered it yesterday for maybe 4 hours 3 tabling .50/1 and im at 147 of 1500 so not doing too bad.

I'd reccomend bonus whoring to anyone its helped my discipline no end, saying that though im on an up swing at the moment lol, easy to stay disciplined when winning.

If i put the hands in poker tracker is there a way i can split up the data from my party data so i can see how long ive been whoring for etc?

It's very easy to seperate the different data in PT. Simply open up the ring game stat window and click the Preferences tab to the far right. This will allow you to filter for selceted sites and time intervals, and much more.

Also, be sure to check out THIS THREAD, which has some very usefull info in PokerRoom bonuses

All of the bonuses on that network clear better at higher rates. Mine's clearing at about the same speed as yours playing a single table of 1/2 draw to your three tables of hold'em, though to be fair draw plays twice as many hands in a hour as hold'em, too. At 2/4 I'd be clearing it roughly twice as fast, at 3/6 the rake starts being capped often enough that the clearance rates start to increase more slowly beyond that point.

You can edit old hand histories to import into Poker Tracker creating a seperate bonus game, but I don't recommend it to anyone. Apart from being a pain in the ass it skews your stats all over the place unless you filter it out, and then what's the point of having it in there if you can't display it? You're better off tracking it in a ledger or spreadsheet.

446 of 1500 points and up to $229 from $150. I've plugged some holes in my game such as playing AXs without the odds and mucking KJ more often etc. My aim at the minute is to play too tight if anything.

I play about 200 hands an hour clearing about 25 points. Playing 4 tables at once.

Can anyone recommend a site for my next bonus mission? I should have a bank roll of about $450 - $500 available.

Finally completed it I finished $13 up, so $150 - $313 including the bonus, mission accomplished. Took about 40 hours 4 tabling .50/$1. I Need to move up to $1/$2 but my current game still has so much room for improvement.

Doing carribean sun now, 24% to the $50, seems to be clearing faster than europoker. Presume I'll get the $40 bonus afterwards, havent seen anything about the extra $100 bonus.

No, they clear at the same time. You'll get credit for the $40 monthly and then hit the $50 signup 100 points later. Unless, of course, you span multiple calendar months.

Just an FYI...I did the SunPoker bonus via the TP signup, and I believe you clear the $40 at 200 points, and clear the $50 bonus at 250 points. The $40 bonus did not show up in the Bonus listing, but I did receive it magically once I hit 200 points.

thx for pointer, not getting on well at sunpoker, the players are tighter and its mostly 6 player tables which im not good at.
