I would not play .50/1 to start, you will be playing way too high stakes for your bankroll, play .10/.25 NL to start and try and build it up then work your way up to .25/.50 NL and so forth, I would not go crazy trying to clear the bonus untill you have the bankroll to move up to clear it faster, you have 60 days i believe...

any questions pm me...
