Hello guys, I just got my second bonus at partypoker and won my 50$ I have a bankroll of 150$+-, what should I do? Move to another website, or keep playing at partypoker? I usually play 6$ DON's, because my results are quite good there, I rarely loose money on them, bankroll management goes fine then, the problem is partypoker rake for those sng's, they get 1$ per person... I'm thinking about moving to pokerstars, is that good there?

What is definetly good about PS is choice you have about games you play. You dont have to plau limits or games you dont like. But about moving - wait til there is some bonus offer in PS or FT or some other site. Bonus is not everything, but its always nice to get some extra. That way you can travel from site to site and collect extras.

Yer party ask, i like neteller and currently give cashback, but nothing wrong with bookers either, they are free open both. My advice as reguards to bonus is to take the offers from here, clearing a $150 bonus with only $150 can be hard, id get one that comes out in small parts rather than a lump sum. GL

I would suggest to move to another site when you can have a rakeback deal and a reload bonus cause if you are a winning player you can have part of your money(rake) back and work to clear a bonus at the same time

Hi Pitiless.
I you are confortable in Party, continue there. If you don´t, and you want change, only think in Pokerstars or FullTiltPoker. And only move to FTP with rakeback.

Once you've cleared a bonus (sign up, NDB, etc) moving to another site and clearing their first dep bonus is not a bad move.
Bare in mind, as per another thread on the front page, PP has LOTS of reg bonuses going...
I'm pretty sure PS is still offering $600 1st Dep bonus. ANd it's a really good one to, you can get the whole $600 over 3 different deposits (most sites it is first only). And you get SIX MONTHS to clear..
PKR offers ~$800 1st dep, 60 days to clear (it's a fairly good ratio of points to bonus, however, PKR DOES NOT release partial bonuses, so one has to be careful not to bite off more than they can chew). Also, PKR offers reload bonuses ~$600 100% match every 2 months without fail.

If I were you I would stick to Party Poker, the variance of play is not as hard as FTP or Pokerstars. Also, there are many fishes compared to the other poker sites. Good luck and see you at the felts.

I'm just clearing on Party, and kinda like the site and offers. The rake is high though, I agree.
I wanted a Bankroll on all 3 top sites on the net, like Pokerstars, Full Tilt (my favourite), and Party Poker. Those sites offer the best promotions, bonuses, WSOP seats, bankrllbuilding (Party). So I think it is a good idea to keep some bankroll on all 3 sites, so you can use the promotions as they are offered.
For switching sites, or moving part of the bankroll, see bonuses like averyone says.
