I've played ~3500 hands there and I've only got 163 FPP points... I'm going to need 300 before I clear my god damn bonus.

Is pokerstars the hardest site to clear?

i found it very difficult as well. Had to move up a level just to get things moving.

you will want to play at least $2/4 LHE or $1/2 NL to clear the PS bonus efficiently. otherwise, save them for when you can move up, since they never expire.

I think it's a great bonus, better than Party. Then again I play 5/10.

Its a lot easier clearing with S&Gs. I mixed mine up; about 10-20 S&Gs and the rest 1/2 - 2/4 Stud and clered it fast

You probably don't play high enough. I can clear one with just a couple hours of play.

It certainly isn't the fastest clearing bonus, but there are many other sites that are worse.

If they would only raise their rake to .50 at $5.00 like Party has, then this bonus would kick butt.

I play at Stars 1/2 when clearing the bonus and am very happy with the clearance rates (but then again I also don't mind PR's clearance rates at 1/2 either). It's especially nice because you can play FIVE tables at a time, increasing your potential hourly rate even more.

Cleared the max bonus playing 1/2 pretty quickly. In and out in three days.

If you're are playing anything lower than 5/10, it will be difficult

At 2/4 the bonus cleared faster than Party.

If you play SNGs Stars bonuses are great since they never expire, and SNGs count towards the bonus unlike Party. You can essentially play rake free SNGs until you clear the bonus.

You best be joking. Raise the rake to get a tiny bonus back? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

The lower rake is better than a lame bonus
