I really don't recommend that you move to Ongame now for at least 3 reasons (little birdy told me that's where you plan to go next)
First you play low volume atm so you don't need better traffic than 888's and you can only clear some low bonuses, it's better to wait till you train multitabling skills a bit better and consequently clear highest bonuses
Second Ongame sng's are reg infested even at 5.5's and blind structure is more like superturbo than turbo, both of which will result in smaller edge, hence lower roi and bigger swings (much much bigger)
And finally biggest Betfair value (that's where you would want to play on Ongame) is their weekly skilln'go leaderboard and you need to play 100+ a day to make anything more than few bucks from it.
With ipoker it is similar you have 42.5% rb value bonus on Willhill in amount of 2,000$ you have to rake 4,705$ to clear it in two months or 9410 $5.5 sng's which would be again 4,705 games in one moth or 188 a day if you play 25 days. This daily volume is closer to your monthly plan.
On any other room (Ipoker and Ongame included) you have to rake more to clear whole bonus and it would be terrible waste, which you would regret eventually, not to clear this juicy bonuses in full.

Tnx for the advice G, i f****d up real bad with William Hill. I thought i already deposit here so i decided to deposit just small amount of my roll to play tourneys whenever i have little extra time. Except that i haven't deposited (i was just registered) and so i got very little first deposit bonus :facepalm: . Of course now it's too late and there is nothing to do about it but to clear that bonus and get enough volume for some rb. At the moment i'm aiming for level 5 which is 416 x $10 tourneys per month and that is in my monthly range. Next goal will be level 6 which is 1250 $10 tourneys per month or 42 per day which i think i can achieve despite full time job. But with this extra project i have going on, it's just not possible (not even by you) cuz i'm not home that much, not to mention that my wife would probably kill me if i neglect her or my kids. ;)

Sure i know you are very busy and i didn't want to imply that your volume is low cause you don't give a f**, just that you may want to wait and sooner than you expect you would be able to move up in stakes, increase number of tables and with 1.5 to 2 hours a day be able to clear bonuses.
As for William Hill since you did what you did, sure keep on clearing but since they are bit harder than on 888, and rb isn't much better up untill 7th level, and you have to collect points to cash out so no monthly rb injection, you can move back to 888 because i heard that they are supersoft and you actually want to learn to play against fishes and not against regs since you'll be making money out of them.
Anyway, sorry i wont spam your blog anymore, what ever you do gl!

You're not spamming, i take your advice very seriously and I thank you for it. The only reason i went to WH is cuz i wanted more volume when i have time to play. If i'd knew that i have first deposit bonus i would wait and so will i for other bonuses until i get my level of play to volume you mentioned.

Game at 888 is softer than WH (comparing small sample) but i think i can beat it. Don't get me wrong, i know we make money against fishes but don't you think it's important to learn and exploit regs to? I mean, they are at every table we play...

Can't win anything and can't get enough tables on, cuz i have time to play at strange hours :evil:

IF - Positive thoughts, positive outcomes!

I feel your pain, was deep in a $12K guaranteed earlier, was on BB with TT, SB (who was chip leader) limped on me, so I raised AI as I was relatively short-stacked... he called with 54o

Flop: 4 2 T
Turn: A
River: 3

:rage: :facepalm:

Had a moment of enlightening today in one of the middle session, winning couple of flips and pushes. :f_cool:

Only to get back on the road of sucouts in the last session, getting sucked out on the river by a worse kicker or runner, runner flush/straight...

Still manage to get small profit _cool:

Oh, yeah i feel comfortable 9-12 tabeling and i think i can do more when i get my self a new monitor!

Great, played only 7 tourneys and only once i was able to say "Yes!" :f_biggrin:, pushing (6 handed) with 44 from MP2 for little less than 7bb just to get called by a fish on MP3 with KJo and i won a flip. Other than that, fkn river...

Came ITM finishing 2nd only once, it's enough for today, i'm not in the mood.

I'm still playing small sessions whenever i can and can't believe the shit in terms of bad luck is happening :f_mad:, especially in HU. I've got beaten by worse kicker so many times i stopped counting...

Turbos are killing me, i have a filling that they are way to much luck dependent.
I mean, it doesn't matter that you outplay them in early stages and double up, cuz when you hit push phase, that big stack quickly diminished, if you aren't lucky, even if you have better hand. _mad:
