Poker Stars bonus clearing
 

I've got 3-5 reloads waiting in stars for me to play a NL level that is worthy of clearing the bonus.

Which is the lowest level that you would recommend to clear the Stars bonus at a reasonable rate?
.50/1 or 1/2 NL games?

i know that the 25NL games were way to slow, and i'm sure the 50NL's are still pretty inadequate.

I dont realy play NL but the point system is, the pot must be raked at least $1 which happens at $20. So make sure that your average pots are all over that and you should do fone at any level you feel comfortable at, I prefer to play 5 games at least 2-4, occasionally, I willopen a bunch of 50-1 and 1-2 games and get on the lists for the 2-4, 3-6 and 5-10, it flies at 3-6 and 5-10 level when munli tabling due to the fact you are getting 60 hands per hour per table and many/most(not the tight tables) are raked.

good luck

for NL, anything from $1/2 blinds and up should be efficient. 50c/$1 is doable, but will be noticably slower.

i know this doesn't answer your question re: ring game clearing, but i played a few hundred $10+1 and 20+2 1/2/3table SNGs and MTTs to clear and it went pretty quick.

Pretty quick???
They run some of the slowest tourneys Ive seen!
(granted I mainly play party SnG's so I am used to the quicker games)

i find that good .50/1NL 6 max tables clears just about as fast as 1/2NL. Limit clears it much faster; almost every hand at 2/4 and 3/6 are worth a point, and it plays faster as well. I think the key is good table selection- loose limit tables are the best, while TAG NL tables are actually quite poor at clearing the bonuses.

Thanks for all the responses.

I'll probably give it another shot when i move to .50/1 and see how slow it feels.

Just hate leaving all that bonus sit there, laughing at me. (Kinda like all the UB bonus's i have laying around lol).

I cleared the last stars bonus at .5/1 limit after about 3500 hands. Not as fast as party, but not too bad either...
