Hello all I am new here and have received my 2nd bankroll an carbon poker. My first didnt go very well the $5.50 tourny ticket at chilly poker used it in a late night rebuy with 20 players and well lets just say it was the wrong tourny to use this freebee in.Anyhoo I was wondering how others go about grinding some profit out of a $10 bonus that you need to get points to profit I need to get 375 ponits per to release $5 dollars up to $90 more THATS 6750 points to grind out is it possible? Any thoughts on how I should go about htis has anyone been successfull with these bankrolls ?

Depends which site/network you receive the bonus on mate. I'd hazard a guess at some very low BI (25c - 50c - $1 << even 1 dollar is way too high for your br but it's site dependant on wether they have stakes that low ) sng's to grind up to around 40-50 dollars. Double or Nothings are a very good way to grind points as they are quite low variance in comparison to normal/turbo sngs / mtts. Again though, dependant on roll. Id say hit the micro sngs, get a decent sized roll then smash the double or nothings to clear your points. Just my 2 cents though
Who is more convenient as one who prefers cash tables, Sit n th whom. You can sit down at the maximum limit, if the bankroll and can play tight. Look at all himself.

carbon poker also as some step sngs (played with fake money)where the final step gives the winner $1 real money. its not pretty poker but it can help if ur bankroll gets too low. best of luck!

Posted by cambam247: Thx shoveandtilt I agree the low limit sngs a good way to start
You right, and try MTT if you feel in mood or in luck, lol. MTT make you have chance to bummm your bankroll. Dont touch cash game before you develop your bankroll 10X, Good luck

Start by playing ring games with 1 dollar buy in. See how it goes. If you dont see a light there with your bankroll check if they have micro limits sngs. You can get your bankroll up that way. Slowly at first till you be able to buy bigger. That of course if we are talking about 5 or 10 dollars starting capital. gl

Try the micro stakes limit holdem cash tables, much more hands played per hour, much more rake per hour thus receiving more points, because most players play through the river.

Hi cambam247
Welcome to BRM blablabla...
Is really hard be succesful with that kind of NDB. The best way, in my opinion, is play NL2 Cash with the low buyin possible since you have, at least, +40$. Don´t forget to take profit in any freeroll offer by the site.
Fast fifty...quarter quicky...just afew of the low BI MTT's. I play FL cash tables as well. Been playin there for bout 8 mos now. Compition is stiff about 90% US players. I don't keep track of points...just try to increase and maintain my bankroll....figure the points will come later.

I think I have the same question as trishaa18 above here. Does anybody know what the timelimit for the bpnus is?
I have just signed up for the Chilipoker free gift, AND I have to grind at Plexpoker until like the 14:th of dec., since I got a decent bonus there as well...

go to a cash table with ur entire roll and open shove it and hope for the best, if you win then go grind out some sng or whatever, and if u lost the flip then hey at least u didnt waste a lot of time trying to grind out that 5$ only to most likely lose it to rake

I see in lobby SnG with BI for example 2.20 $ when I can won 750 points for 1st place. How do U think , I can collect 6750 points from this SnG and I make money free or I must play and collect points from playing.?

Such points usually don't count, so I think you will have to keep playing.
But, on the other hand, one never knows...
(At least, at PKR points won in tournaments don't count towards bonuses.)
Those points will be good for the sites' store. The points you need are produced from rake. There are levels or tiers to go thru...first level is at 250 points...check out their VIP system...it's all there Say I get close to clearing a tier this month....need 52 points and it's the 13th. I deposit, get the deposit bonus, I wud have to play a max of 52, $1 Bi MTT's to clear the tier, unlocking it, helping me to clear the deposit bonus. In the end it's about the deposit, NDB's attract new players to try out the sites...not expecting to get rich quick you can gauge success by the amount of playing time the NDB has provided and that's where points accumulate. They have a .06 cent MTT and up to $1 BI every day. I managed to take down a Fast .50, a $2.20 45 seat SnG, and cashed in some others, then I play FL tables to increase my points and try to win another MTT BI...so it's doable...takes time and (heavy on the) patrience. The other side..doesn't always work out. GL at the tables.
but it's site dependant on wether they have stakes that low ) sng's to grind up to around 40-50 dollars. Double or Nothings are a very good way to grind points as they are quite low variance in comparison to normal/turbo sngs / mtts. Again though, dependant on roll. Id say hit the micro sngs, get a decent sized roll then smash the double or nothings to clear your points. Just my 2 cents though
