Double dipping on slot play

I've pretty much given up on the monthly casino reloads. I can't fund my William hill account and Interpoker increased the WR on BJ to 50X.

However, I did play a little slots on Interpoker in Sept and double dipped the bonus while doing it. First I waited until they have an additional promo on slots (besides the monthly reload). It's usually something like "play xyz slots and wager $400 to earn a $20 bonus or earn $20 for slot play on Thursday", etc. This is when I make my matching monthly deposit bonus (for maybe $25 = 18x WR) and while playing through the 18X WR($450) I am also going to receive an additional $20 at $400WR, thus making this about a 10x WR. I could deposit $22.22, but I just round it up to $25.

Slots aren't a good gamble but I'm not risking much ($25). I get a little break from poker and hopefully lowering the WR, I can turn it into a small profit.

Getting Frustrated

I just can't break the hurdle of raising limits and sustaining or building my bankroll to a more significant level.

Here's the history over the past several months.

Grind up the bankroll by playing 25NL or 50NL and chasing $50 - $100 bonuses here and there. Get the bankroll up where I think I can and should be playing, which is usually 100NL and 200NL with the odd 400NL. Get crushed by a few bad beats and/or bad decisions (maybe go on tilt), lose a few buyins and then have to drop back down to the lower limits.

I've done this at least three or four times over the past 9 months, and when you drop 1/3 of your bankroll I feel like I've been wasting my time. I'm just spinning my wheels so to speak.

I enjoy playing the higher limits and feel I can compete. The mentality of most gamblers is that it's hard to drop down in wager size and I'm no different.

ie. betting $50 or $100/per game on football and then dropping down to $5. Or playing $25/hand BJ in Vegas and then playing $5.

It just doesn't feel right and you don't get the same satisfaction out of playing. But reality for me is that I won't totally jeopardise my bankroll to play higher limits, which is why I always drop down after I reach a certain level.

Not sure what to do???

PSO Promo's

It's been a while since I've checked out all the new promotions at PSO. They have added a lot of sites over the past few months.

I now have the following I can do:
Caker
Carbon
Dream
Gnuf
Hollywood
VegasPoker247
Wingows

I did go back a read a few posts about the different sites. The one thing I've learned from doing promotions is to read what others are saying about the site. How hard is the promo? What is the optimum deposit bonus? How is the traffic? Are there other perks when signing up (freerolls etc). Before I start any of these I'll be sure to read as much as I can before I sign up.

I looked a two sites today Wingows & Carbon. Wingows looks easy to clear but the traffic is sparse. If it's that sparse I think you want to get in and get out in case they don't survive (thoughts from others?) Carbon looks interesting in that they have lot's of freerolls ranging from 1K to 50K. So when clearing the bonus I think you'll want to make sure you do it when you can take advantage of these freerolls. I've decided to wait on this one until I know I can take full advantage of them.

Your thoughts on any of these sites is appreciated.
