Bonus Comparison

OK guys I can't decide which one to take a run at so lets see what everybody thinks. Pokerroom.com skins
Choice A. Powerplayer.com 100% bonus upto $1000 cleared at a rate of 10x the bonus in poker points you get 1 point for a hand that is raked 1 dollar or more and 0.5 point for a hand that is raked 0.50 to 1 dollar. Bonus paid all at once

Choice B. Hollywwod poker has a 500% bonus also upto $1000 clear at a rate 15x the bonus in poker points. Points are the same as above. This bonus is paid out in 50 dollar increments and you have 60 days to clear it.

Basically I can't decide if the extra percentage is worth the 50 percent jump in raked hands.

Choice B Because it pays out in increments. Does that mean though that you wouldhave to play 15,000 raked hands in 2 months? That would take some doing, especially if sites don't have many games going.

I saw a similar bonus offer on Red Star Poker. I'm a bit wary of depositing money to sites like these that have offers that seem too good to be true. If you do deposit, tell s how you get on.

The way the rings have been going for me I'm afraid the only advice I could offer would be bad. Thinking about retiring from poker and taking up shuffleboard as that's what old men are supposed to play...

yep 15,000 minimum raked hands in 60 days. That actually is just a bit more than I play anyways I have been averaging about 5500 a month, if you add up all the sites I have been playing, for about 3 months now. I would just have to play exclusively at Hollywood till the bonus is done.

you might find that if site is quiet it might not be possible to get enough games to clear 15,000 raked in 2 months. I'd observe site for a while first.

they are both on the pokerroom.com network which is 3rd behind pokerstars and Party. So finding a game wouldn't be an issue

Yes Redstar Poker does the same but they give back in $50 increments. I believe it is a year time limit though, not 2 months! The site is soft though...new players.

Hollywood poker - argh! I bought in, lots of action, lots of games, but someone should complain about the tables! They are RED tables, a RED dealer button and it is difficult at best to see what players are at the table and all around it needs improvement. Maybe change the colors? Decent bonus if you can play that many hours.

I personally like the quicker ones with no time limit.
