im back from a few weeks away from poker (minus 1-2 games on PKR), as of tomorrow anyways, got a week off work and $120 to play with.
trying to think up a plan, doesnt seem to be any reload bonuses going at the moment so not too sure what to do, thinking of PKR but might try somwhere else. probably looking at playing a campain of 20 $6 games, but am tempted to play some higher 6 seat sits. obviously roll managment is not my strongest attribute. any ways i was wondering if any mobsters have any good ideas, also wondered if anyones given that ball poker a try yet and if so what their feelings of it are.

Hey welcome back I've just started playing on 888poker (couple of months) and they have a very nice selection of games and formats to suit anybody's preference and the competition is pretty soft. so you could give that a try. If you don't have an account there already you could sign up through brm and claim a ndp? just a thought. good luck on whichever site you decide to go for

cool never really bother with 888 athough i have an account there i doubt i could remember sgn in details, i have another idea that has been on my mind though, i was thinking of putting $60 on stars and 60 on PKR.
i dont really play on stars but i have been writing a Poker Manager program on my computer (although primarily for PKR) and was thinking of having 40 buy ins for 1.50 6 seat sits (decent rol managment), i could then let any trustable good player whos looking for a stake play through some 6 seats so long as they can return a positve ROI and would recieve a payout for every 20 games they play (thoughts being i need a min return of 10% but anything over that would be splt 50/50)
i myself have a high sucess rate in 6 seat sits (20-30 roi) but attribute this to the fact that i dont rush and dont multitable(which every other player is doing), and the structure is good for my play. the only problem wiith it is that playing one game at a time to stack managment takes a very long time to be able to change stakes, which is why i thought it might work to share the load between decent players.

There is the option of Cake poker too if you havent an account there yet, where they have a no deposit bonus which clears easily. Not sure about the sng traffic though there, so you may wanna watch for it before joining. gl

I agree with bullet re 888. Thers the usual sign up bonus and once you have that there is always the opportunioty to engage with them to see what they want to offer you with a deposit bonus too. Lots of variety to in terms of tourneys and SNG.
If you deposit with Pokerstars there is the option of getting the depositer $1k freeroll action action 3 or so times a day.

What is your PKRVIP? If I ever want a reload bonus, I just email them and they give me one, usually on my terms which is 225-250pts per $1, lump-sum release..Generally either 100% or 75% offers..
In particular, when they offer the crappy incremental ones at 350pts/$1 or whatever I'll generally email them for something good instead.

I reckon give it a shot anyway - they're dropping customers like flies, I wouldn't be surprised if they're willing to help people out if it means depositing on their site.. Although it sounds like you already have now :/

Trick is to subtly threaten and compliment them, like something (but more tactful) along the lines of "I really love PKR, but another site is offering me a great reload and rakeback deal, but if I can get a reload bonus at PKR then ..." you get idea.

There's a lot of action going on FTP and you'll find many fish over there. Some just heard about the room re-opening and went to see what others were talking about for so long after Black Friday. And they also had some campaigns that atracted them, so you may find some good action there. Good choice and GL!

@ takingdrugs. Yes the site that BRM has the freeroll is a Cake Poker Network skin. Unless they differ which i doubt (look into it, before signing) besides the deposit bonus you can get a 33% rakeback. And they use dealt system. (been a couple of months i last played there so it may have changed).
