Default Bonus whoring where at?

Hi, basically im playing 100NL on FTP and believe my game is good enough to beat it at a fairly reasonable clip.
I just want to make a quick buck to supplement my real life roll i recently quit my job (dw im a student living at home) and would like to maintain a certain amount of money in my bank account.

So im basically wondering where a soft site is where i can bonus whore and make a quick buck? Also any comments on whether that idea is just retarded or not i haven't really looked into the maths behind bonus whoring yet, or whether its more profitable to just play 100NL + RB on FTP or play 50NL + Deposit bonus +rb with hopefully weaker opponents?

Since im asking so many questions, may as well throw in a tax question is poker taxable in australia?

If you're beating 100NL for a decent winrate, you won't be making more money playing 50NL just because you're clearing a bonus. So I would suggest you to either deposit enough so that you could play 100NL on another site or just stick to FTP.

This is something that really bugs me about bonus questions and i think you will see my response pretty much identical every time. When clearing a bonus, don't change your game just because you are clearing a bonus! Keep it exactly what it is, a BONUS! If you are currently playing 100nl, keep playing 100nl. If you can get a bonus while playing your normal game, that is great! What you need to weigh out is how the bonus clears at your current limits compared to the rakeback you will receive. If you can get a bonus, rakeback and play your current games, that is even better!

As far as the tax question, dunno about that one.

Just guessing:
His roll is something like 20-30 buy-ins and he doesn't want to transfer 100% of his roll to another site and/or deposit thousands of dollars.

i see your point chinz, but honestly if i was able to beat 100nl at a reasonable rate the last thing I would be thinking about was bonus whoring.

Why so? There's some $1k bonuses that you can grind in a month (in addition to rakeback) if you are playing NL100.

Ok that came out wrong, what I meant to say is I definately wouldn't stop playing 100nl just because you can earn a bonus.

yeah thats what i was wondering about, im willing to deposit 500 dollars, but should i play 100NL With a 5BI BR on that site ? or should i just play 50NL with 10BI and just have "aggressive BR management" and move up with 10BI and move down at 8.5 or 8 because 5BI 100NL if i get any variance im basically fucked an goodbye bonus whoring.
My goal is to make money as fast as possible (although i do love the game and want to move up ASAP), if i play 50NL and make more money then 100NL at a different site isnt that just illogical to play 100NL? Btw i'm going to go do the maths im a little more sober and post up the results and see which makes more money. I'll post it here when i do, cheers for the responses but does anyone know the definitive answer about which is the best site to bonus whore if any? I don't want to play at some shitbox site which has crap software either.
