Is Poker Stars Bonus too tough for beginners to clear?

[derick]

Hello,

I've almost given up trying to clear a bonus on Poker Stars.

I need to get 1700 Frequent Player Points.

The .25/.50 and .50/1 Hold'em is too slow getting points. I make about 1/hour
The 1/2 makes about 30 points per hour But I lose about that many dollars when I play.

Do any other beginners find Stars too hard?

Any tips on clearing the stars bonus for beginners?

Thanks

Derick
