How much do you think I can clear in a month with those numbers?
So 200 Euro deposit requires 1,000 Euro rake to release a 200 Euro bonus. Is that what you're saying?
And you're not sure if it's 90 days expiration? Don't you think you should copy/paste the T&Cs of this bonus here like I asked in my first reply?
Rake at 888 is high so you'll generate rake quicker than say at PokerStars, but that's a lot of rake! I asked a friend who's playing 10nl what his stats were at PokerStars 6-max 2nl & 5nl:
91k hands, VPIP 23%, PFR 18%, 3Bet 5%
$104 WON
$260 RAKE [remember these figures are for 6-max, you'll generate rake slower at full ring]
I obviously can't say what rate you'll generate rake because I don't know if you play FR or 6-max & I don't know your style. A nitty nit can generate rake at only 25% the rate of a LAG. But it is a bad attitude to think about poker in terms of your rake-rate rather than your win-rate
SUGGESTIONS:
** Post here the full T&Cs for the bonus
** Download the software & see what's going on at the tables
** Only making a "slight profit" at PokerStars 2nl is a bad sign. I think you need to figure out why that is. Perhaps 6 tables isn't for you?
** Do you really want to grind for 2-3 months? In such a small player pool everyone with a HUD will have stats on you in two weeks & even those without HUDs will have a good idea of your play fairly quickly, so you'll find your win rate will drop against the regs over time
** In such a small player pool the strategy is to opponent select & table select if at all possible or find another site [not easy in Spain]. Grinding in a small player pool is a loss-making proposition. Better to play higher with fewer tables & find edges [get better at poker as well]
