Had a good talk with Brokesobroke this afternoon and the idea of staking is becoming much more appealing now.

I will check first if I can set up a better deposit option as PKR charges a lot for currency exchange and I would like to lose money already like this.

thanks Fusionpk and Vonki ;) for mentioning it and off course BsB for taking the time to convince me

I am very happy with my game tonight and although I ran below ev, I ran pretty good for once and had a lot of nice hands and set ups in my favour and made a small profit.

I did manage to play just over 20k hands over 20 days.

This is the graph for this month:

and this is for the last 2 months:

quite brutal :P but I don't despair.

On Friday I am off to London, and then set off on Saturday to Paris to pick up my daughter. Come back on Sunday to London and then Monday back to Plymouth. Sigh.

My daughter and my mum seem to have trouble communicating (language barriere) which leads to a lot of frustration and arguing. My daughter also sleeps very heavily. This morning, my mum could not wake her up so she resorted to pouring some cold water on her. It work but as you can imagine my daughter was not too please nor in a great mood.

My mum is turning 81 this weekend and it is probably the only occasion my daughter will have to stay with her.

I have checked with their support and the email is from them etc

I have registered

Now I might go for a stake to make it easy to reach the amount rake paid necessary to get top bonus.

I will see with a few friends that might be interested first

I think you might have misread it, or at least I did lol.

For the $250 you have to rake $50 to activate the bonus which clears @25%

I think I've been offered that too. How much do you need to rake to generate 2500 PKR points?

PKR Point Target Cash Bonus
2500 $125
5000 $500
10000 $1500
15000 $3000

:^0

you: and can I just check that this is generate the points, get cash, not generate the points, get a bonus that then has to be cleared?
Dave: I will just make sure that is correct, I am sure you are right but bear with me
Dave: Ok that is correct yes
Dave: you will get the money if you earn the points
you: Crikey! That's pretty awesome. Thx v much
Dave: no problem is that all?
you: yes thx

Seems legit. I will see how many hands of NL100 that is, but that's just too awesome an offer to turn down, even if the software makes me want to stick an ice pick into each eye.

I raked 0.057c per hand on Stars, so even if I rake just 6c per hand on PKR that's 2.5K hands of NL100 to get 15K PKR points = $3000. Even if I only play two tables and get say 150 hands per hour that's about 17 hours in a month. I feel there must be a catch somewhere, but I'm two tabling PKR for free money this month. Weeeeee!

Wtf

Just to double check before I tell manu:

5000 $250
10000 $1000
15000 $2250
20000 $4000

Your telling me I rake 200 and I'll get 4k?

Too insane to be true :f_eek:

Especially when it's available to every bum out there (like me, never played on PKR and got the same offer, lol)

I spoke with chat and got the same response as JB. I'm a little worried by the T&C though:

(8) In the event of any dispute, the decision of PKR poker management is final and correspondence will not be entered into. (8) PKR reserves the right to suspend, alter or withdraw this promotion for whatever reason without notice.

But then again this is part of every promo T&C on every website.
