Not going to be playing in any live games for awhile so i'm looking to take some of my bankroll and make a decent sized deposit online somewhere and try to clear my way through the bonus and see where i end up. I know titan has a deal that matches 100% up to $500 but is almost impossible to clear, i'm looking for something that can be done reasonably i guess. Only place i've ever deposited money into is absolute poker (was the first site i ever played online at) so just about everywhere is free game. If anyone's got any suggestions lemme know.

I'd go through something like pokersourceonline.com and try Party Poker. They're the easiest to clear. Party will offer $25 deposit bonus or 20% up to $100 on your deposit and you can clear a promotion for PSO points, software, etc. You can also get a set of Nevada Jacks after 250 raked hands by doing this and then sell them to add to your bankroll.

I agree with Kaiser. Sign up with PSO, then do a bunch of the easy to clear sites, which (in my opinion) include Party Poker, Paradise Poker, and Bodog. If you like shorthanded no-limit against total spaz players you might also want to check out pokershare. If you really want to build your bankroll quickly, get PSO points and put everything back into party poker gift certificates. You will be amazed at how quick you can build up a nice stack.

You may have to adjust your game coming from Absolute.The sites I’ve mentioned have much fishier players.
Good for the bankroll, bad for the sanity. If you are tilt prone, it might be bad for the bankroll as well.

Party through PSO is definitely a top choice.

I found Full Tilt through PSO really good too. Not for the basic 100% bonus which clears pretty slowly at low limits but for the PSO points which can then be turned into Party Poker/Absolute vouchers. I deposited $150 and played until the first $15 of the bonus was released which coincides with the point at which you get 9000 PSO points (equivalent to $90).

Pokerroom was a fair bit slower to clear but had 500 custom/stock NJs as an option in May so was worthwhile for me. May still be worth it for the 12,000 PSO points.

If you've never played a Prima network site there's a pretty sweet (if not especially large) Grand Bay Poker bonus: It's a $30 bonus on $30 deposit and If you get "referred" by a friend then an extra $30 comes in - all in 100 raked hands. It does sometimes require some emails to their support to get it all credited, though, and the refer a friend bonus has been less reliable than the above (see 2+2 threads on the topic if your life is too exciting at the moment).

Really, there's lots out there. But in terms of value, service and reliability PSO are hard to beat.

Yeah, PSO and if you don't need/want poker gear just get the PP gift certs for your points.

Party Poker thru PSO will give you the best bang for your bucks. Deposit the $500 for the max bonus of $100 plus the PSO gift and only 250 raked hands require to clear.

If you can beat the game at Absolute, Poker Room players are similar. PSO will give 12000 points plus PR deposit bonus of $40 if you deposit $100. Clears at 400 PR points.

A good bonus that is not PSO is Pacific Poker. If someone referrs you, you will get $50 plus 25% bonus up to $100. For the extra $50 get someone to refer you. This one clears by 20x wagering. Easy to clear.

Thanks for the great info. Looks like Party and saving up PSO points is the way to go (i've got a set of custom BR Pros already). Also nice heads up on the referrals i'd forgotten about those. If you suggested a site or suggest one with a decent referral deal and i use it i'll PM you to get your info.

Ok another question as i've never dealt with all these codes etc., do all these things stack? IE, at Party can i deposit $500 for the full $100 bonus, work towards the PSO points and earn the extra $25 for being referred all at the same time?

You get the comp in lieu of the referral bonus at PP through PSO. But yes, normally a referral will stack with a first deposit bonus.
