I Have $36 in my Partypoker account!

[Kroze]

out of the blue, partypoker gave me $20. i've been playing $5 buy-in sit-n-go tables and made it to $36 so far.

what should i do now? more SNG? or go into the $25NL

 

[KLin]

go play 1 hand of NL and lose it all

 

[Mickey Eye]

Same thing happened to me on Party... They gave me $20 for not playing in a while so I went and played some sit n gos and turned it in to over $80... Wanted to cash out because I didnt want to play on party but I couldnt because you have to play 200 raked hands to clear the free $20... So I went to some .50/1 tables and hit a string of bad beats and lost it all!

does those SNG count as raked hands or anything? when you say you can't take out $20, can you take the other out?

play a 50 NL table, get over 50, and then play enough hands to cash it out

SNGs do not count as raked hands and greed, it never crossed my mind to cash out the overage...

SNGs do not count towards bonus raked hand requirements.

I'm pretty sure that you can't withdrawal any amount until you ready your raked hand requirement.

 

[Kroze]

maybe you could clarify this for me. i never understood rake hands..

say you want to make the 200 rake hands requirement to take them oney out.

does that mean that you have to play 200 hands? or you can just fold and other people play that hand and it count as one for you?

 

[DrumminBoy]

As long as you are dealt cards it counts as a raked hand - you don't have to play the hand

you play $5 SNG until you hit about $50 - $60. Then play $10 SnG and play that until you have a bankroll of $100. $5 SnG is somethign you should avoid. It's where you get "gheyed" a lot and nubs play etc etc...Plus the rake is a fat 20%

Play $25 NL until you hit about 300 - 400 before you move onto 50 NL.
