Online Poker Bonus Whoring

seriously competitive. Online poker rooms are always trying to attract
new players and as a result offer great incentives to try to get new
players to join. Usually you will find that the poker bonuses on offer
are 100% match bonuses up to a certain amount. So, if you sign up with a
poker bonus code with a
100% deposit bonus up to $600 then if you deposit $600 of your own money
you will be rewarded with a $600 bonus. You then have to play enough
hands to meet the wagering requirements and your bonus is released.
Bonus Whoring Strategy
Different players adopt different bonus whoring strategies. Changing
your strategy based on the fact you are bonus whoring is never a good
idea. Yes, you want to clear the bonus as quick as possible but you want
to win money at the same time. Whether you are a cash game player or a
tournament player you should stick to what you know and grind out the
bonus requirements at a level you know you can beat. The real value from
bonus whoring comes when you have finished clearing your bonus and have
made a profit doing so. The higher stakes you play the quicker you will
clear your bonus. Don't let this tempt you into higher stakes games than
you usually play where you become the fish at the table.
Remember, there is nothing stopping you from not opting for the full
bonus amount. Some bonuses have time scales attached to them so make
sure you read the bonus terms and conditions before you decide how much
to deposit.
