Just uploaded a guide to bonus hunting (aka "bonus whoring") and a guide on how to turn $50 into $2700. Since so many of you guys are into bonus whoring, I thought I'd write this up with the help of a friend and post it up. If you have any comments on it, please leave a note in the forums. Enjoy!

Another Party Poker reload bonus, 20% up to $100 ($500 deposit required for max bonus). Use reload code "POKERACENOW" during your deposit to get the bonus. Remember, the requirements to release the bonus are raked hands for every $1 in bonus money within 30 days, so all you bonus hunters get to work on this one.

In other news, I haven't been keeping up with the poker news lately because I'm been sorely busy, but I'll try to post some big news from the World Series of Poker when that stuff starts developing next month. Everybody knows of the main event at the WSOP, the $10,000 no-limit game, but there's quite a few events during the World Series of Poker that leads up to the main event. Estimates for how many people playing in the main event this year are staggering, so it should be interesting to watch. I have to admit though, part of me feels like going, but then again, I could probably find all sorts of more productive ways to blow $10k :)

It's World Series of Poker time and Party Poker and the rest of the sites are all gearing up it seems. Tommorow only, Empire Poker is offering a 50% up to $100 reload bonus with deposit bonus code TUESDAY100 (new players use sign-up bonus code GOLD35 for an additional $35 sign-up bonus). Through tommorow as well, PokerStars is offering a 20% deposit bonus up to $120 for all players (new and existing). Full Tilt Poker is offering a reload bonus of 50% up to $300 for existing players to the end of the month - but a word to the wise that bonuses are four times as hard to clear at Full Tilt than any other poker site.

So I'm cheating a bit on this heads up poker article I'm posting, as I published it on my blog awhile ago. And no, I'm not a big blogger. I just sometimes get the feeling to write about Party Poker (or just poker in general) and not have the effort of turning my thoughts into a giant article for this site.

I will be resetting the 'Favorite poker sites' poll and putting in a bunch of new sites in there as well. I'm also leaving again for another trip soon, so no updates for awhile. I'll try to update Jeff's texas hold'em guide with some updates he has sent me, maybe get my article on fractional odds or other things up before I take off ("Yeah right!" I hear you guys saying :P).
