Default Re: I\'m LOSING money trying to clear a bonus?

Yeah I just blew 50 dollars trying to clear my 100 dollar bonus at .5/1 thinking I could clear it faster that way. TPTK doesn't mean much in .5/1 limit, I learned that the hard way.

Ugh, 50 dollars is like... 2 buy-ins... that hurts!

I guess I'll have to nut peddle at NL25.

yeah, don't do that. if you don't have a game you can beat that qualifies for rake bonuses, don't play to clear the bonuses? solution = get better at some other game or find a site that has bonuses linked to sng play.

Last few party skin bonuses I've had I've cleared playing 1/2 6-max limit (Takes about 4-5 hours 4 tabling).

Both times I've won considerably more than the bonus amount and am left wondering why I stopped playing limit.

When I used to clear bonuses I would play o8. Its a nice change of pace and doesnt take much more than chillin waitin for butter hands to show a profit. just play for the low and hope for the high i guess.

I do agree with the others tho, my girlfriend was beatin 25 nl the other day and she was playin like a monkey.

realize though that a winning ring game player could be clearing a bonus and losing money. Chances are that you don't have to play enough hands to clear the bonus for the results to be anything other than pure variance.

I clear them 4 tabling NL25. Clears at a decent pace.

Same here, I clear 150 hands an hour. I basically play $25NL like the first 2 rounds of an SnG.

I clear the Poker Room and Poker Stars bonii with SnG's though, you will die of old age before you can clear either site at $25NL.

You guys were right.

I went to NL 25, and aside from my boat running into quads, I just sat on my cards for an hour, then I hit a set on a very not-scary board... 2 people all in ahead of me who have me covered (i have 25 sitting in front of me), I call and triple up.

It's pretty easy.
