Operation: Enough BR for $50NL by 31/12/07

I feel like I've been playing this game for long enough and it's about time I become a winning player. This will be my 3rd attempt at beating 25NL and I feel like I'll succeed with some help from you. I'll try and post updates,including hands, after every session.

I guess if all goes well I'll be rolled up for $50NL. Is it worth bonus whoring at 25NL? I can get some nice bonuses from sites like Interpoker so let me know if you think it's worth it.

I'm starting with a BR of $500 and my guess is $1500 is enough for 50NL.

yes it is worth bonus whoring, even at $25NL. And getting rakeback. Bonuswhores.com to check out how the bonuses clear and how long you got to clear them. Best to avoid any where only hands raked above 25cents count. Identify a few you think could be good, then ask here for which people think is best.

Thanks daven. I deposited $250 at FTP (27% rakeback) so there's another $250 in my Neteller account which I'll use to bonus whore.

Quick update before I go to bed. My BR is currently $588 so I'm making some progress. I only started playing yesterday because I only had DSL installed on Tuesday. I was using wireless before that and the latency was unbearable.

I'll post some hands on Saturday since I probably won't play tomorrow. A friend of mine and I are meeting some pretty ladies tomorrow for drinks so I'll probably have fun.

Some questions to aid your bonus whoring odyssey... Where have you already got accounts? And where are you based (US or no)? Did you already have a FTP account? Are you clearing a bonus there?

I'm from South Africa and have accounts at Bodog, PR, Party, PS, InterPoker and SunPoker. I already had an FTP account with RB so I'm not clearing a bonus ATM. The only network where I haven't played is the iPoker network so I'll probably whore a bonus there. The Crypto sites have a monthly bonus which I could clear but the player traffic sucks. I hate the Titan Poker interface so I won't even bother whoring their bonus.

iPoker is great. Most skins offer large sign-up bonusses, but most them are tough to clear below 100NL.

Chilipoker offers $600 for 24k fpp, which is the most generous bonus I´ve seen so far. They allow you 60 days to clear, that possible to clear at 50NL, and after clearing the sign up bonus they will email you offering a good cashback deal.

Many interfaces on iPoker make your eyes bleed, titan is actually one of the nice-looking skins. Buying iBolide was the best I did this month, it lets you modify the table- and cardimages.
