Just curious, I have a bunch of bonuses to clear there but was wondering if there are any good tables.

It's really slow to clear a bonus there at 0.5/1.

It's not really juicy there, but beatable.

Are the ss games good there? Like 2/4 or 3/6 (short for both)?

How bout 5/10?

Anything good to play shorthanded there?

The Stars shorthanded games are the juiciest I've found. I'll say it again. The Stars shorthanded games are the juiciest I've found. Full ring .5/1 was also intensely beatable.

That being said, clearing a bonus at Stars is always a bad idea. I find that the hours required to put in as well as the general loss of sanity that results is a strictly -EV proposition.

Stars full ring .50/1 is super-easy. Calling stations galore. 3 cold back to them? They're calling with 74s.

Let the bonus stay for a while. Wait till you play 2/4 come back and you will clear that bonus so fast. That is my plan at least.

Plus for Shadow, the 2/4 games are very beatable. 3/6 is soft too.

I have to say that ive found 0.5/1 full ring pretty tough at PS...that may just be due to variance but i really did notice the difference when switching back to party.

However, the 6-max games are insanely easy...50% VP$P is about the norm.

Based on the point structure, clearing a stars bonus at 1/2 or below is gonna take a long, long time.

Are Stars bonuses stackable? How long do I have to clear them? Maybe if I just deposit to trigger the bonus then, you know, do nothing, I can come back when I play 100/200 and clear it at a reasonable clip.

I'm not sure, I know that UB's are though. Their bonii are tied to FFPs, and the most you can get is 1 FFP per hand ($20 pot or more)

I cleared it VERY fast imo at 1/2 6max. I logged around 400hands/hour so it was pretty quick.

Yes they are. Just make sure you leave your deposit in there for 48 hours at least before you withdraw otherwise you lose the bonus.

The bonuses never expire.

2/4 and 3/6 are SH gold mines. Never played 5/10.

Breaking even right now.

Stars seems tight at the moment /images/graemlins/frown.gif

sup bro.

I didn't even know that you played poker?

I was actually at Tech on Monday (and Sunday night) visiting some friends. Fall break for me.

Went to a CS lecture in Howey. Um. Wow. 200 kids in a class? wtf? My biggest class is like 35. Big shock. Oh and you guys don't have any girls there. At all.

Okay can find some lovely loose passive games at 0.25/0.50....but 0.50/1.00 is full of rocks and TAA's.
