Hey I've just signed up for poker source online, and was wondering which rooms are easiest to clear the bonuses at in order. Any help would be much appreciated as I've mainly played on stars and don't have much sense of other rooms. Thanks :-)

Stay away from Titan
btw - if you have time to go through my boring blog you can see some of the sites I've managed to use for free $$$$$$
best I've found - party, empire, bet365 for clearing bonuses
give a little love to funkytown05 if you to join

party is the easiest. The rest really depend on your bankroll. What are you playing with?

at the moment my poker bankroll is about 1800, I prefer full tables as I'd rather play tight because I get overagressive, thanks for all input so far

Here are the PSO bonuses I completed:
Party - took about 2 hours...so easy
Pacific - took way longer than it should have...probably two nights. Single-tabling really blows. You need 500 raked hands, so just play for a long time and then e-mail them.
Absolute - absolutely awful site, but an easy bonus to clear. You have to clear 40% of the bonus, so you can see it all tick away. I think this only took me about 3 sessions over 2 days.
I only played .5/1 SH LHE when I completed these. I didn't have the bankroll at the time to deposit any more money than I did, and I found it to be simple. I made about $250 from all the sites and then used my points to get a $200 Amazon GC.
Also, be sure to look at whatever promos are going on, so you can get more PSO points (if that is what you're using your promotions for).

yeah unfortunately I already have account on ub, absolute, party and pacific from a long time ago when I was just starting online poker and wanted to play at all the sites, oh well any suggestions on the other ones?

Paradise wasn't too bad to clear. On PSO it says the maximum bonus is $50, I think it's actually $100 (it's definately higher than $50 anyway) so deposit a lot. Paradise is also very fishy so you should pick up some extra along the way.
Don't bother with PokerRewards.

FullTilt has to be one of the easiest.
took me about 45 minutes at $.50/$1.00 NLHE (4 tabling).
Paradise is good...fishy.
Titan changed their points system recently, so I'm not sure, but I had no trouble with that, and those games were very fishy as well (not so much traffic, though).
PokerRewards was the toughest for me. I ran really bad while there (prima skin), which is funny, because prior to PSO I played almost exclusively at prima, and have done very well there.
Caribbean Sun was pretty easy, too.
I highly recommend taking advantage of the Nevada Jacks offer as well.
Paradise and Titan have 9000 PSO point upgrade codes for December if you hurry (I think you just have to START the promo in December to qualify upon completion for 9000 PSO points). Sign up for those first.
pokerroom has a 12000 PSO upgrade for December.
The others I'm not sure about.

why? i had thought about doing that one after Full Tilt.
also absolute has changed recently to needing a $10 (raked 50 cents) to count. Super tight tables as well. lots of 20-30% to flop, hardly ever above that. If you can comfortably play 2/4 then dont worry about it.
Paradise is easy, you can play their lowest level and clear this bonus in about 1300 hands. PLay it at 1/2 and you should clear it in about 1100. The lower limit tables are fishy as can be.
Ive heard Full Tilt is fairly easy to clear (PSO bonus) at 1/2 and higher. Some guy said he did it in 3 hours 3 tabling at 1/2.

paradise is excellent at lower limits.
caribbean is excellent for 2/4 and above, because you can do PSO, sign-up and monthly bonus all together.
haven't done full tilt yet, but seems pretty good.
pokerroom is not great, but for 12000 points (until dec 31) its worth it. just remember that through PSO, pokerroom has a 10x playthrough, so only deposit $100.
good luck,
daniel

How about golden palace? How long would that take playing 1/2 or 2/4?

golden palace took me awhile since i spent about half of it playing 0.05/0.1 PLO/8. the game was unbelievably juicy, but it took quite a while.
playing 1/2 it really didn't take long though. didn't play any 2/4, but the 1/2 game was extremely juicy. 9-handed, and usually 50-60% VPIP - often very easy to find terrible, overaggressive players to isolate.
good luck,
daniel
