How hard is it to spin up 150 points playing 5nl on Bovada? I'm thinking of taking one of those instant bankroll deals but it requires you spin up 150 points in 30 days or you are not able to withdraw any of the money. Wondering if its worth the risk of my time or not.

Terms

Our terms:

You will receive $25 cash from Bovada Poker upon account approval and must accumulate 150 Bovada Points and make a minimum $25 deposit before you can withdraw money from your account. You have 30 days from the date you register to complete the requirements of 150 points. If you do not meet these requirements you will not be able to withdraw any funds earned, including the $25 initial bankroll.

The Bovada Points can only be earned at the poker tables. Points earned at the casino or sportsbook will not count towards your promotion requirements.

If you play four tables of 5nl you will be getting about 10 points per hour. It would be pretty hard to do if you are only playing one table at a time.

What is the traffic like there for 5nl? Specifically full ring. Do 4 tables run all day? I cant view the lobby without creating an account.

Bovada hides full tables from the lobby to keep tracking sites at bay as well as keep sharks from scouting fish so easily.

That said, yes, you should be able to find 4 tables of 5NL

How is it keeping tracking sites at bay? There are no usernames to track.

I didnt get any free deposit or anything but just to answer your question I cleared 150 points in no time on bovada.
I play alot of the 3 plus 30 tripple ups and alot of the 7 plus 70 tripple ups,plus alot of the five to ten dollar buy in guarantee tournaments they run on there everyday.
learing 150 points in 30 days should not be to hard if you play everyday.
It only took me around 10 days to accumulate around 400 or so.

If you are any good at PLO8 I would recommend that while trying to get thru your bonus If you are in a hurry to get it...However if you are not in a rush.

even at the 5c nlhe table that is only 5 points a day to get 150 in 30 days...easyily obtainable. I would actully be suprised even if you only played one table to not get it.

Usually only one or two in the a.m. but by afternoon there is traffic and of course on the weekends. Cool thing about bovada is if you amass a decent amount of cash at the table and want to take it off that paticular table you only have to sit out for 5 mins to return with whatever buy in you choose.

In december they had a 2 week promo. I was able to grind out 300 something poker points off a $24 deposit in 2 weeks, playing pl5 omaha. playing usually 2 tables, sometimes only 1. would throw in pl5 omaha8 table sometimes becuz they would only have 1 pl5 omaha table going. i had to play a lot of hours to get that, i think the average was 2 pts per hour per table, but i am guessing. nl5 holdem maybe less though if you are involved in less hands.

you should set yourself a daily goal, like if you can play 4 or 5 days each week, then say don't stop playing until you hit 10 pts on each day. you should play at least 3, prolly 4 tables at a time, even at that rate you will need to put in 3 to 5 hours prolly. another consideration, buying in small and then getting off the table when you double or more, lot of people here say this is poor poker strategy, but it worked for me as far as being able to grind out points and not bust out.

Dude listen to me, to earn 150 points within 30 days is not at all hard. If you play 5nl 3hrs per day and buy in for some tourneys I am pretty sure you can make this bonus.

You should have no problem clearing 150 points in a month.

Traffic numbers. This has been discussed multiple times in various Bodog staff member blogs.

Oh, I was obviously thinking of individual tracking. Sites numbers makes sense.

I dn't think so tracking is possible without any user name. When I make my account than i make only point that earn very fast nothing else. Can you tell me how can I track?

It's only possible, for others, on a per session basis. For yourself, you can download your hand histories and upload them to certain websites for tracking your winrate, or convert them for use in import into PT/HEM.

In no way though can one track one's opponents, as their IDs are unknown.
