I received an email this evening from BCP and they gave me $5 to try out the tables. Hope some of you all get the same. I've never deposited on there. That may be the reason. Oh and wanted to ask. What would you all do with the $5

They gave me 20-30 a while back because I stopped playing. Personally, I dont love the site, so I would probably enter a $5 tourney or try to double it playing cash right away. Thats just me.

I would use it as a chance to practice micro limit ring game. There are probably withdrawing restrictions anyways.
I guess it depends on whether you want to be a tournament player or a SNG player or a ring game player.
Have fun with it.
I might register there and try it out but I try to avoid adding new sites. When I was playing more in the early 200's I had little bits of money at 17 different sites and if you don't concentrate on a lot less than that it is unlikely you will ever withdraw.

I tried a few tournys last night and just broke even. For some reason when I try at a ring game it says I don't have any money in my account.

I received that email a month ago after I stopped playing there and re-downloaded the program to find out the $5 they said they credited to me was not there. Anyways I would stick to the micro 1c-2c- CAP cash games or they have a $100 gtd 10c buyin game around 7pm est

I got the exact same thing from ACR, only they said that I had 7 days to use it or they would take it back. I tried a $25 GTD for 50 cents and won around a buck, but I didn't have the time to keep grinding these for a week so I just put the whole wad in on a $5.50 MTT.

Min-cashed for ~$9.75 and the money's still in my roll there, so I guess with 6 cents or whatever was left after I bought in that qualified me to keep it. Wow do people play crazy in these re-buys, it's just nothing but bingo all the way to the FT.

If there was no time limit I would have used it to buy into the cheapest tourneys possible and tried to grind up a roll from there, or used it to get a little experience at the lowest cash stakes since I have virtually none.

I enjoy BCP because I can use a HUD there. I live in Nevada and have access to legal regulated online poker, but not allowed to use a HUD on either of the 2 main sites. I can't sit still and concentrate on just one tourney at a time, so I avoid playing on wsop.com and ultimatepoker and concentrate my efforts on the Winning Poker Network. WPN sites have always been great about cashing out.

I got the same email, but for some reason when i try and sit down at a table it says i have insufficient funds even though my account shows the 5$ in it. Do I need to like win some money in a 10$ freeroll before I can use this or something?

No email for me, but I have deposited in the past so that's probably why. Pretty much stopped playing there after they left Merge as I don't really care for the new software that much.
