FYI, Ryan gave me $100 with no strings attatched in lieu of the $200 bonus, so it was slow, but OK.

Thanks, I called regarding my bonus “goof”, and Marie told me I had 12 raked hands left to clear the $90 one, which I did right away. Can redeposit $100 on 4/1 now and get the April one, I assume.

They will release the bonus basically right away. You have to leave he table, but at least at InterPoker it seems to be almost immediately.

Chris,

Thanks for the e-mail reply. Next question, do they release your bonus right away, or does it take awhile?

Also, is there a way to check on your progress at InterPoker? I do not see a “hands left” countdown anywhere.

Chris,

How is InterPoker at customer service? I did not get my Poker Listings $200 bonus when I signed up, so I called ‘em. The gal acted like she knew exactly what happened, said she’d leave a note for the poker manager, as if if would be taken care of right away. Nothing yet, not even a phone call or e-mail.

Just stay away from the NL $100 6max tables. Those are MINE.

Dude…. just move up. The players are just as bad and if you’re winning now, you’ll just be winning at twice the rate.

The only hard part is stomaching the loss of a couple buy-ins as compared to a couple at the lower level. Once you get past that… It’s ON!

I’m pretty sure everyone has missed seeing me around. I mean, your day’s not complete if you don’t play some cards with me, right?

I don’t remember the last time I played the blogger table. Probably January. I don’t think that table is necessarily -EV, but sometimes you don’t want to play in a game where 3-4 players are constantly putting pressure on you. On top of that, we’re paying for the privilege of pushing money at each other. For bloggers as a group, that’s -EV. Hell, if we’re going to do that, we might as well play Blackjack on some casino site.

If I’m on, you’ll catch me at Full Tilt.

I personally LOVE the new Party structure. If people don’t want to play “correctly” by short buying, fine by me. I’ve played some there, but while clearing the bonus I played 4×50NL, but as more “serious” play I’ll move up.
