Poker Stars sucks...
 

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?

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

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

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

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 cleared it playing 1/2 and didnt think it took long at all...

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

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

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

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

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

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

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

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.

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

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

yea I agree.

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

At 2/4 the bonus cleared faster than Party.

Re: Poker Stars sucks...
 

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? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

The lower rake is better than a lame bonus
