InterPoker Monthly Bonus

I was looking around for another bonus to play and I ran across the InterPoker.com monthly poker bonus 100% up to $90 each month.

The requirements say that it is 5x to clear the bonus.  

But you have to read the fine print it is 5 times on a $1 rake.  This means the pot has to hit $20 which seldom happens at the .50/$1 tables, where I like to play.

They are kind enough to give you a quarter of a point if the rake goes over .25 which means you have a $5.00 pot.  This usually works out to about a third of the hands.

So I am ready to sign up for their bonus and then I have trouble with the software, I try to run it 5 or 6 times.  Each time it tells me I have to do an upgrade – I say ok, then it runs for about 5 minutes and hangs.

I repeat the process again and again.  Then I go and delete the software off my computer and install the whole thing again.

Now I run their poker program again and try to log on.  I get an error message that there is no user with this name.

I write customer service who tells me I must reactivate my poker account, so I reactivate my account and then the software works.

It has now been about 24 hours since I started working on this, I get ready to transfer in my $90 bucks so I can start on the bonus and then something clicks in my brain and I realize that this is not going to take 450 hands to clear, it is going to take me 1800 hands to clear.

I was thinking the 450 applied to me but now I realize that it doesn’t.  I decide to wait on this bonus, I don’t really know that I want to play 1800 hands to clear $90.
