Online Poker - again about bonuses, make you game profitable.

By: Sancha

This article means that you are experienced player, know how to use poker tracker, pokeracehud and game time (software which collects an enormous wealth of data on both your own play and your opponents' play and show it on tables helping reading other players) If you are newbie, article still can help you but it can be recommended also to read this books Theory of Poker by Sklansky, Texas HoldEm Secrets By Rory Monahan, Small Stakes Holdem by Miller.

There is an opinion that rakeback is much better than playing bonuses, this is correct for players playing higher limits like 5/10 but not everyone can afford to take 500$ to each table(for limit holdem, on NL tables this figure is much more), which is needed for stable play in the case of losing streaks. So most of players play 2/4 tables or less. Also many poker rooms now use ascending scale when clearing bonuses (higher limit you play faster bonus is cleared) so bonuses rapidly became same as rakeback.

At overall its better to play limit holdem to clear the bonus and to lower a risk for your bankroll. When playing No limit and Pot limit you will be often risking entire bankroll taken to the table, when in limit only by one small fixed bet.

To choose a room where to play you must take in consideration:
1. Bonus clearing per hour&limit
2. Rakeback(it is possible to receive bonus+rakeback in some rooms)
3. Players lousiness(rooms accepting us players tend to be more loose)
4. Deposit and withdrawal methods
5. Support of Poker tracker.

Best poker room with this parameters are Williamhill (Cryptologic network) bonus is 10$ per hour per table 1/2$ and up, also you can get rakeback so overall yo will get +5.5BB (big bets) only playing bonuses which is very high. Site allows deposit/withdrawal back to visa card. But No us players allowed and games are tight.
Other Cryptologic skins like Interpoker also offers good bonuses all with same clearance rate 5$ per table 2/4 and up + rakeback over 1.5-2$ = over 6.5-7$ per hour. Games on this limit are very tight so it will be hard for you to hold such win rate. Has read through at one forum opinion that there is no profitable players at 2/4 limit cryptologic:)
It's not accepting Us players

Other good network is Ipoker clearance rate for most bonuses is 1.3$ per table 1/2& hour + vip reward scheme, it has rakeback equivalent of up to 70%, it has many loose tables with flop 30-35%. Victor chandler allows visa cards deposit/withdrawals and periodical bonuses. Don't accept Us players.

Prima network has many good sites with clearance rates 2-3$ 1/2 table&hour relatively loose players and good deposit/withdrawals methods. Spin palace poker and Golden Riviera poker both offers sign up bonus 50$ with rate 8-10$ per table 1/2&hour.
Some Prima sites accepts Us players NOT from this states IL, IN, LA, MI, NV, NJ, NY, OR, SD, WA and WI. Bonuses deducted from rakeback.

Other sites like Ultimatebet and Bodog are interesting form the point of view of rakeback 25% and very loose players. For the Bodog you will need Dog watch handgrabber to import hands in Poker tracker. Also ultimatebet had periodical reloads with clearance rate less than 1$ but administrative fees deducted from rakeback making this site no better than bodog. Both accepts Us players.

This list of course is not full, times are change and you may find other most better offers. But always remember: trust statistics, not your emotions, like this site is rigged, place is unlucky and etc. Losing streaks happens to everyone from time to time and you must be ready for that. To take a full picture you will need to collect a data no less than 30,000 hands. This is massive 150 hours four tabling, so better advice here is before you decide to play on any room, surf on the net, visit forums, ask other people opinions and only after this decide where to play.
