I got $7.70 free, played some low stakes cash games and got it to about $22. Got $20 free on Father's day. So than I deposit $20, at $67 and worked it to $288.50 playing some $5-$10 double up 10 man sit and gos. Just finished tonight, finished off strong making $60 in 1 hour And I was 8 tabling..I was feeling it
Summary: Invested $20, made $288.50 so profit of $268.50. -Got $47.70 free in cash and paid just over $100 rake so almost 50% rakeback which isn't that bad. -Sharkscope says I had an average profit of $2 per sng, averaging 10-14sngs per hour so at least $20 per hour
My next stop - Action Poker. Going to try some cash game there for a change.

Yep. Nearly 20% roi is nice. But the sample size is not too big. So things can change rather quickly. How many ot these games do you play per day on average, Gene?

Hey, does this ipoker have some sort of no deposit bonus or another nice bonus modality? I think I played a few time ago on I4 poker or something like that. They sent me mail offering no deposit bonus.

Ya, I'm kind of surprised I have 19% roi too since the sngs are turbos. I just think I have a good strategy and the other players gamble when they don't have to.
I don't play very much, 1-2 hours a day and often take a few days off. I'd like to get into a routine, same time every day. I think I averaged around 15sngs per day at poker770.
dylao, ya, theres a lot of free no deposits at ipoker network.

I admire you man, i quit playing on the Ipoker network because i think it's impossible to win for me. Don't ask me why, but it's this way I only play non-turbo omaha h/l sng on pojerstars now

I find iPoker good place to earn some money if you can handle bad beats on lower limits because players are chasing a lot, nothing like Everest chasers but still they are chasing. For SNG`s games become fairly normal at $2, you can play board much more often. Now downsides, CASINO, CASINO, CASINO and to be worse, I`m sucker for slots . Don`t say anything, I KNOW. That is why I don`t like to play there because sooner or later money goes one way. That is why I started playing PS again.

Oha. Casino is definatly -ev without a bonus behind. Maybe you should mix in some bonus gambling at internet casinos. There you can do your slots play and you will not lose that much thanks to the bonusmoney.

GamblinDemon, I was losing at first too at ipoker but I just adjusted my play like try to avoid playing against other big stacks and often avoiding calling all in unless I have a monster.
The other day, I folded kings preflop because top 5 place money, chip leader pushes and another guy calls, I fold because its not worth the gamble. Most likely one of them has a ace and other guy has pair, so I'm 60% at best.
Predobar ya, I noticed a lot of bad players on ipoker but I haven't noticed too many bad beats like at Pokerstars.
I never played casino games, I've heard about bonuses where you're more likely to win than loose but never tried it.

Ya, Action Poker network is pretty dead. Would be awesome if they joined forces with another network. I'm going to try 4 tabling the low limit cash games. Cash game is not my thing but change is good..sometimes.

Thanks GamblinDemon, actually had my roi at 50% for awhile but than started gambling too much. I've tightened up and I think so that's good but I don't play very often. I think I will go for titan $50 free or deposit bonus with BRM. Titan is on ipoker and I like playing there, did yo sign up to titan through BRM?

Posted by doomdy: Whats best first deposit bonus at ipoker? Maybe i want to give it a try
Anybody??
What do you view as "best"
Looks like CD and chilli poker have the best clearing rates. The size of the bonus may be bigger in other rooms. A lot have a bonus up to 600 bucks. (CD up to 200 bucks)
And I was 8 tabling..I was feeling it
