[CAT] Scratching Post

up 120, including the 50 dollar up front bonus. site is pretty limited for the most part. gotta get on a waiting list for decent tables. tourney participation is low, yet they still run guaranteed payouts. not sure if they stick to the whole guarantee payout when only a handful of players are registered but i'll find out this week.

bonus was 110 percent up to 500, with 10 percent upfront. rest has to be unlocked within a month. ratio for unlock is 10 poker points per dollar, but normal poker point accumlation for nl 10 max is about .15 per hand raked on non-monster pots. sit n' go and tourney fees are 3 poker points per dollar in fees. anyway, after most of a week, i've only amassed 250 points. at this rate, i'll only unlock 100 of the max of 500. bummer.

screenie is apac73, real original, but someone took apac. bastards.

Full Tilt gives you like 4 months to get your whole bonus. That pissed me off. I still have $194 in bonus at uB. They just revamped their ultimate points program so that you get your bonus money twice as fast if you rack up 50 upoints a month. I'm already at 32 after last week.

probably run it out at bodog until my month is up and transfer try to figure out how to deposit at full tilt then. how'd you deposit at full tilt?

Fuck Full Tilt. I deposited on my debit card, but I wish I had never gone to that site. I only keep money there so I can play with Mud on Fridays. That place sucks.

^ don't listen to him. He always only wins the blinds when he has Aces.

And always remember the word RAKEBACK before you sign up for a poker site.

Don't listen to Mr. "I make fun of Schlippy for playing .05/.10, but I can't afford .25/.50 anymore" either.

just don't listen to us at all. We suck. You're the bigwig in here.

came in 2nd last night in a 5k rebuy tourney. rivered twice to finish 2nd, which was paid 500 less than 1st. ahh well, least the car repairs are paid for.

i think i have this site all figured out. it doesn't pay to frequent normal tables at bodog. the competition isn't too bad, but the chasers can cause broken keyboards and mice. the key is to feed off the broken tourney dollar tourneys in order to purchase entries to underfilled guaranteed tourneys.

there's 2 types of tournament dollar tourneys. the first one is the most popular, a 14 dollar rebuy with 25 t$109 payouts guaranteed. there's usually between 50 and 100 people in it. the second is a 69 dollar entry, no rebuy, that awards 2 t$250 guaranteed. you'll usually see just 1 person entered in the final 5 minutes of registration. when i entered, the field had expanded to 5 by the time registration finished. anyway, once you win one of these bad boys, you can use the t$'s to enter tourneys at no cost. you can also use the t$'s to enter the t$ tourneys in order to further increase your t$ surplus.

so far, the only guaranteed tourneys that come close to bringing in the amount of money they payout are the low ones (ie. 1.5k). anything higher than that usually garners only a fraction of the partipation necessary for the site to break even. most tourneys have an inflated buy-in cost. say like 20-30 dollars for 5k-6k tourneys. if you're patient though, you'll find tourneys with this payout and more for around 10 dollars.

you boys might want to look into signing up. there's daily 500 guaranteed freerolls if you want to avoid dealing with depositing funds. field is usually 2k to 5k entries for the freeroll though.

Who the fuck does rebuys?

I'm sticking with uB. I haven't even heard of bodog.

i think sports betting is their thing. that and their casino requires a seperate client and account. not worth my time, but i think sports betting is funding the tourneys. they sure as hell aren't making the money through their poker site.

I've yet to tryout DraculaHoldem. .... after I go broke there, I try Bodog. Promise.

came in first last night in a 2.5k guaranteed rebuy tourney. $750 awarded. weekends rule!

You're a monster, man! Congrats.

Nice one, Davis!
