Bonus hitting for fun and profit (small stakes) - Page 4

IMPORTANT UPDATE
B2B network fixed the concurrently clearing bonus (it was a glitch apparently), so you need 3000 VIP for the novdeposit, 600 VIP for the novreload and 200 VIP for the "referred by a friend" bonus (which I've been told works fine, just enter the friend's name (that is Catyoul ) on signup and the bonus code novdeposit on your first deposit).
The 30€ for playing a certain amount of time is a cashback system (edit: credited automatically at the end of the month).

Total : 3800 VIP for 600€ + 200€ + 25€ + 30€ = 855€

Still pretty damn nice

The software isn't the best you will find, especially for multitabling, but whatever... (don't forget to disable the animations in the menu)

I just whored casino.net

I deposited $250, and played mostly $50NL tables.. I started with full ring and then moved to 5-handed, even tho I don't really know how to play SH. After 2 hours of full ring and maybe 3 hours of SH, I cleared the shit, and ended up with $600 on my account. The whole time, I pretty much played around ~70vpip, and you won't believe how shitty these players are... I won multiple all-ins when the guys went with bottom pair on flop.. they're bluffing into straight+flush boards.. they'll call pot-sized bets with inside draw.. This was the most boring poker session I've ever had. And the client was 100% lobotomy xD

I recommend this for anyone, who wants to practice anger management. If you can finish this thing in one sitting without getting mad at the players/software, you're getting tilt-proof -_-v

Oh, don't try to make them fold. It just... won't work. I mean seriously. If that flush card arrives after he calls 2x potsize, just move along.

so fast?? what stakes did u play? NL25? btw how exactly did u make it profitable while having ~70% VP$IP? it seems quite ALOT on these types of tables

$50NL tables mostly... it's profitable when you can feel when you have the best hand, and when you don't. Just look through Harrington's book on super aggressive style.. you want to be using that one, so you get most of your hands counted as raked. Of course I folded most of the hands on flop

I'm doing pretty crappy on Casino.net even though when I did a different host on same network, I did better than fine. I don't want to whine about bad beats but this time around has been just terrible for me.

party had a reload 15% up to 75 but its killed now, however if u email them by the end of today theyll give you a special comp bonus 15% up to 75 at 5x

hehe i di this a while ago as well, but i only deposited 50$, and played the 10$ NL tables. after 2 day i was done with it, cleared the bonus + won like 100$ as well, never have seen softer competition before. Partypoker players are gods compared to those guys.

Yeah, the Boss Media network is soft as hell.

For Martin's poker, I suggest you get this software too : http://www.billnet.nu/hhgetter/
It automatically gets your hand histories from the website while you're playing (if you have tried martin's, you will understand why it's useful), you can use pokertracker too this way.

It's limited to importing 1000 hands though, 7$ to buy the program otherwise.

The problem with a network as soft as the boss network is that you will have heavy swings. I did two so far and the first time, I deposited $50 and withdrew $300. The second time I deposited $50 and withdrew $100 - essentially losing my deposit and only withdrawing the bonus.

I started grinding the Martinspoker bonus today, playing $100NL ... first impressions:

* It's slow as hell, you won't see a lot of action here..
* The opponents use maphack, and raise 95% of your continuation bets.
* Every time you get a tptk and you bet it for value, someone comes with an absurd reraise.. of course I fold because of set danger.
* The software is uglier than Maggy Thatcher. Go figure -_-
* There's only 1-2 8-handed tables per stakes, the rest are 6-handed. There are no 10-handed tables.

Trust me when I say this: this is just another site where nobody would play without the mad bonus -_-

Is it going to be insanely hard to clear? Or are there enough tables to just sit, play tight, and let 3000 $7 pots happen?

it goes pretty fast to clear for me, im playing 50$NL atm.

playing like 1h, already have 151 points cleared

e:
but i have alot of bad beats, thats fucking RIGGED

with the $100 on casino.net - can you tell me if this is for 100 deposit or can it be 50 / 75 deposit?

You can deposit 50

[vital]Myth: Martins goes fairly quickly. 4-tabling NL50 gets me a 11-12 €/hour in bonus, thus about 65 hours of play to clear it.
Verbloten: I confirm roald's answer, you can deposit 50 it's ok.

I wanna try that Martin's poker bonus but 3 months for it to clear!?

Thats crazy I'll forget about it by then

Thanks guys - can you tell me what is the lowest limit and how big pot needs to be for it to be considered raked?

Roald : I don't care if it takes 3 months, once the bonus is done, I'm out of the site (barring I really like it) and in a couple of months i get the money. They don't forget it and it doesn't change that much from getting it now for me

Verbloten : any limit is good

The requirement to get those $100 varies from one room to another. Most of them work on a contributed raked hands basis : you have to play a certain amout of hands that were raked (even 1c rake is enough) AND where you put money in the pot. If you're going to play NL, as soon as the pot reaches $1 it's raked, and let me tell you this happens often. If you want to find out how many raked hands you have, just try live help or ask support by mail.

great! i just deposited on casino.net and of course in my balances screen - it doesn't show anything in the pending bonus balance section - i hope this is normal!! I expected to see $100 in here!

Oh ?
It always showed Pending bonus : 100$ on the top right of the main lobby for me. Maybe contact customer support ?
