After 2 weeks of strugling, writing mails ect i finally get 30% rakeback offer at pkr. Sign up somewhere (cant mention the link) but stupid me used the wrong code So 0% rakeback Then mailed the site and explained blablabla but they wont change their mind. After that i told whole story to support pkr and they also couldnt help me....
Then again i wrote a really long mail to the site that i think it was unfair blblabla ect... And guess what? Finally i get my 30% rakeback yes yes yes Its really important for me cos i'm planning to stay at pkr, pkr is great its donkfestival every day, its heaven for sit n go players.
Yeah, I agree too about "donkfestival" especially at their Sit & Go games. Glad you got the rakeback as it's just a bonus that is very helpful to build the BR so good luck there.

Posted by shokaku: Next time simply use the right code from the start.
30% rakeback. What do you expect this deal to be worth to you per month?
And good luck against the donks.
I make now rake sometin like $700 a month so rakeback is $200. Thats better then zero But in future i think i am ready to play higher stakes like $20/$30 so then rakeback is $500 a month thats not bad i think

Additional 200 bucks per month is not bad.
And 500 bucks on the higher limits sounds even better. Just be carefull that you do not sacrifice your winrate by chasing a higher rakeback on those limits.

Yes your right. $10/$20/$30 start with 1,500 chips, blinds 8min and $50 start with 2,000 chips, blinds 10min. So $50 is much suits me way better but for now out of reach due to bankrollmanagement. Bankrollmanagement tells 20 buyins but i do 100 buyins so for $50 my bankroll must be $5,000 So ill wait Hope to play $50 at 1 januari 2009 thats my goal

Did they say it was cus you enterd the wrong code? I wounder cus the only place i can see rakeback and bonues offer states that they dont run together, complete the bonus then rakeback. Is you bonues about to run out? I think you will be better doing bonus hunting fot the 1,2, or 300%ers(deposit say 300 for a 300 match then add 3-600 and stomp all over the bonuses.(like PKR you about to get the 100% that works out more than rakeback deal) but if you like it and are happy there then thats all that matters.

Maybe your right b1gfoot but i like it very much so ill stick to pkr and see what happens in the future. Also pkr say they offer reload bonus every month for people who make lot of rake, its about 45% i calculated. The more points the higher the reload bonus, i cant use it cos i didnt clear my bonus yet, but first was $90 reload, second $150 so hope will be higher in future And your right bonus and rakeback dont run together. There arent many rooms they offer both, i know cryptologic does...

Grats on the deal Doomdy. Though I don't understand the big WOOHOO, 30% is as standard as an rakeback deal gets but if thats the best you can get on PKR which you seem fund of then grats mate
btw. the min 20 BI rule is for cash games I would say min 40 for S&G so keep that tight BRM and perhaps make it even tighter as you go up.

Posted by BluffOnly: LOL. std. BI's is 100, both cash and stngos. 200 is pretty std. in mtt's
20 BI's is not enough at all imo.
Damn that's funny (LOL).
20BI's is by many cashgame bankroll management plans the absolute minimum which is what Doomdy is referring to. Ofcourse it's not preferable to play where you got 20BI's and that's where the word MINIMUM come in

I'm not ready to go up in stakes, i'm just a newbe in poker playin only 5 months and yes i make profit every month but i must learn and learn to get better
My average buyin is $12 and have allmost 400 buyins but thats not the point. I can play $50 or even $100 but i am simply not ready for it I know my limits, $10/$20 suits me perfect at this time. This year i'm not planning to go up in limits. Next year i write down all my pros and cons and decide what to do. Offcourse i must go up in limits and i know i can do it, but not now
