Hey everyone,

I bet most of you wished you took full advantage of that $50 Adword Voucher/Facebook Credit when you first created an account. Well, Poker Sites offer the EXACT same thing.

I bet most of you wished when you signed up for your first few Affiliate Networks that you knew all the pro's/con's before you joined. Well, once again, the situation is the exact same when looking for Poker Sites.

So, I'll occasionally update this thread with tidbits of information that I think any new online poker player should read!

Bonus Whoring: Bonus Whoring is a term for taking full use of promotional codes offered by Poker Sites. You can make a lot of money using this!

A. First Deposit

Poker Stars: STARS600. This code gives you a 100% unlockable bonus up to $600. The bonus releases in increments, read for T&C.

E.G: You deposit $600, you receive a $600 unlockable bonus.

Full Tilt: By signing up through Rake Back Pros, you receive a 100% unlockable bonus AND 27% Rake Back. Rake Back is huge in the long run. It can often make the difference between break-even and solid winning.

If your from the U.S, you should only play the two sites above... the rest are shitty and/or shady.

Shameless Plug: I offer poker coaching services, great for any new player, and I am still offering 1 free review for each service. See my Sig for more details.

What's a rake back?

Rake is how Poker Sites make hundreds of millions a year in profit. The majority of hands in Cash Games are raked 5% of total money (capped). All MTT's/SNG's are raked, usually 10% (i.e: $10 + 1 Tourny, the $1 goes to the poker site).

With rake back you get 33% of rake you pay every month. Pro's earn $X,XXX a month from rakeback.
 
I think the OP is cleverly spamming. The code you enter is most likely his own affiliate code, and he has an arrangement to make a commission off YOUR LOSSES.

How you guys feel now? Shall we hang him from the highest tree or what? This guy wants to profit as we lose our shirts.

Charge!

The code , STARS600, is the default one provided by Poker Stars. You can verify this in the link in the following sentence.

I'm merely helping people maximize their deposit.

And if you believe that Poker is a "losing" game, then take a look at my sig.

How do you feel now?

Aha! You're selliing poker insurance. I'll take some. I lost a bundle this weekend.

So what's your story? You teach people how to win at poker? Online poker? It's very difficult to teach this because you can't see your opponent's faces.
 
Roundabout, Falian is legit. He may not be making 5-6 figures a month, but he's definitely a winning online poker player.

Yea, I primarily teach online poker, but I crush my 1/2 live game too. You can't see their faces, but that means your focused solely on how they play and can quickly pick up leaks/tendancies.

Poker Tip #1: Fold everything but 77+, AQ+, KQs when your first to act pre-flop.
 
My apologies Falian for jumping the gun. Please, carry on, and hoping to see you at the WF poker tournament.
 
I play a lot myself (pot limit omaha mostly), and Falian is spot on about making sure you sign up with rakeback at Full Tilt. If you get tagged to an non-rakeback affiliate you'll *never* get rakeback, and they'll close any new accounts they catch you trying to make.

I'd skip coaching and go to one of the training sites like deucescracked or cardrunners first though, they have hundreds of hours of videos. DC has no drm on the vids, so you can do a month for $29 and download a ton of whatever game you play.
