Got the bonus yesterday and played a bit today. Played a "farmers" tourney this morning with a ticket i won in a freeroll and came 3rd for $4.
Then i sat down on a cash table and played about an hour. Didn't get very many decent hands but i did get Kings twice and got paid off both times. Sat down with $3 and left with $8, not that much but considering i only had a handful of playable hands its not too bad.
And i played another "farmers" tourney and won it $1.10 buy in and won $10 it never gets that many (20 at most) but the standard of play is so low its unreal. All you have to do is wait for good hands and you will get paid off. I did suckout massively on the final table tho I had 19bb's and a guy who had the same stack as me raised 4bb's i went all in with KQsuited and he called with 99. Flop: 559 Turn: Q River: Q so sick. You do see a lot of river suckouts tho. my all in kk's got beat in a freeroll by 22 after he rivered a set. So as long as your good hands hold up and you play tight poker and don't bluff you should do pretty well on there. Bankroll is at $27.78
Good luck all

So i see one's got to take care when playing at Pokerace, although things look really easy to make some extra bucks (few at a time, but if you make few extra every day you will get big extra in a couple of months). There's already another mobster talking about it, and he also made it very well in the begining and then started loosing. Do you believe that can be a strategy from the poker room itself? To call you with initial winnings and then turn the withdraw almost unreachable due to sudden bad play? It's difficult to believe it, but suckouts are comproved by two already, in a very short period of time at the same place. I better watch out when i decide to go there, but i will, i just love a new NDB!

I think it's down to so many bad players and variance why he is losing. If you play tight and don't play too high a level for your roll, you should do ok. Try those 'farmer' tourneys. Small, soft field and top three normally get paid.

i guess the only concern is getting a cashout with no extra surprises. i often skip playing at lesser sites just because i don't trust them a lot. if i was allowed to withdraw my cash i made from NDB or freerolls without making a deposit then there would be no problems...but since most of the times a deposit is necessary i just stick to stars & co...

well, I dont know if you must deposit first at pokerace and after that you will be eligible to withdraw. I know that they Have in their terms and conditions something like you must collect 100PPP first then you will be eligible to withdraw.

Haha thanks pochui. I don't mind that at all! Have you seem the advert with Eric cantona in it? For some lager? I think it's kroenenberg or something. Farmers are the new rock stars man!
------------ Yeah the traffic is really low and the fact you will have to deposit to withdraw is a bit of a problem but if you start with nothing and build a nice roll there but do not want to make a deposit there least you will have somewhere to play if your not "feeling" your regular site.
I will keep everyone informed as to how I go. I doubt I Will be playing there alot tho. Just now and again I think.
Good luck all

I dunno how it works on other sites,....but I got $10 worth of tickets on Full Tilt for signing up,...played a few games....made some profit,.....then the next day I paired the FT/PS accounts and about 2 hours later, withdrew my money from FT and sent it to PS.
No fuss, no muss, no restrictions,.......No Problemo Mon!!!
Those SnGs and ring games over there on FT, are a pushover man!

Posted by Macubaas: bullett, here is a piece of advise for you, shoot them an email first to see what do you need to do in order to clear the bonus
From experience i saw that you need to careful with the terms and consitions of this type of bonuses.
I'm not too fussed to be honest mate. I just signed up so I could play there casually. I'm not going to be trying to grind a massive BR there or anything. Just somewhere to mess about when I can't be arsed with pokerstars.
