Stars Reload

[GeoffM]

Also, for the lower limit guys, $0.40 rake for fixed limits $0.50/1 now count for 1FPP. They have made it slightly easier.

I like when they give me my rake back for oh lets say 2 days.

Gonna try to take advantage of this reload bonus, the first in quite some time.

Stars doesnt have any limitations on withdrawals, do they? Meaning, you can withdraw some/all of your money, and it wont affect the bonus.

Is this correct?

Thanks

p.s. TP, when I do this, I will send off my $10 DONATION for the fantasy football league.

bump

I can deposit, get the bonus, and withdraw without ruining the bonus, correct?

I am pretty sure this is the case, but dont play at pokerstars that much at all.

Thanks gang.

[GeoffM]

Jax,

Yes, you can, but with Stars you need to wait 48 hours to cashout.

Also, this bonus does expire in 180 days, not the standard Stars never expiring bonuses. So, if you got anything stacked, you will also have to clear those too.

[drewjax]

Thanks Geoff,

I can wait the 48 hours so thats not a big deal. Just wanted to make sure I wouldnt lose the bonus, as I am 'borrowing' $ to do this. And six months is no big deal either, much better than 7 days or whatever at some sites.

Off to bonuswhore. My first reload bonus in quite some time.
Next is igmpay at Party. I have never done that one, and I THINK I can still do that one.

This bonus is almost impossible to reach at low stakes NLHE. RAKE must reach $1. wow.

I think I might have to give horse a whirl.

Or should I just multi-table LHE? How do you guys (low limit players), clear FPP's at Stars?

[Nikita]

I don't. Well not really. I haven't really bothered with any of the bonuses at Stars just because it's so hard for a low limit grinder to get FPPs.

At the stakes I play, it's almost impossible to generate FPPs at cash games. Once in awhile there's a huge pot and you luck out, but more often than not, you just donate rake. A better way to get FPPs is Sit n Gos or MTTs. But again, at the limits I play, I only get 1 FFP per entry. That's a lot of tourneys to get $20 back as a bonus.

[GeoffM]

HORSE has a decent clearance rate. I clear somewhere around 18-20 FPPs playing 0.50/1 limit (which ironically clears faster than at the 1/2 level). Also, players are shit so make more money playing.

[drewjax]

Ya this is gonna take awhile. But I need the bankroll boost. I cleared 40 the last few days with a couple sitngos, and some HORSE last night.

I first sat at a HOSE table and lost a bit, then played HORSE and got some back, mostly during RAZZ.
