Is it feasible to get Stars' 20% by playing 1-2 and lower?

It looks to me like this would take forever. You would have to play 2-4 to meet their rake requirements to get 1 FPP. These are a $10 pot for .50/1.00, a $15 pot for 1-2, and a $20 pot for 2-4. The only one that seems like it will happen on an often enough basis to accumulate enough points to have a bonus released is 2-4.

Am I missing something? I suppose there is always the tournament route, 5 FPP’s per $1 of juice.

I played in a full 1/2 at Stars last night due to having a SH game at 24h I wanted to concentrate on. I played for a little over 2 hours and am currently on pace to finish the depo bonus in a total of 24.22 table hours at 1/2 full ring. That's a little too long for this Whore, so I'll probably play the 3/6 or 5/10 when I can pay a little better attention to it. But, at least it's possible at the 1/2 level...if you don't mind playing in a 1/2 game w/28% seeing the flop for 24 hours.

I played an hour and a half of full table $3/6 omaha8 last night which was clicking about 50 hands/hour with about a $45 average pot size and earned 69 FPPs. So to get 600, assuming the same table conditions, would be 600/69*1.5 hours or a little over 13 hours of play needed to cash out the bonus.

Also a $120 bonus/13 hours = $9.2/hour or an extra 1.5BB/hour earn. It'll do.

I didn't have the means to take full advantage of this bonus, but I did deposit an additional $100 last night. I cleared the bonus in less than 5 hours of playing 2 $1/$2 tables (1 holdem, 1 stud8), which is my usual habit when playing on line. I made about $30 in the 5 hours, plus the $20 bonus. not a bad night's recreation.
