bankroll building still feasible in micro?

[HouseCalls]

Current low limit is .50/1 (they had .10/.20 two weeks ago but got rid of that loop hole [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img])

Stars and Paradise bonuses do not expire either. I have somewhere around $1k in uncleared bonuses between those two sites for when I move up in limits enough to make it worthwhile to clear them.

Are these bonus applicable to micro limit games? Also, how are you able to rack up $1k in uncleared bonuses for just those 2 sites alone?

I'm not sure about Paradise, since I've barely even played there, but at Stars I think .5/1 is the lowest where you could clear the bonus in any reasonable amount of time. I think that it will clear (very slowly) at .25/.5 though. I'm waiting until I'm playing at least 2/4 before I worry too much about it though, so long as there are good bonuses elsewhere.

Since the bonuses stack and never expire, I just deposit for each reload, wait a few days, and withdraw. I have a big enough bankroll to move the money around without any real limitations. I've been doing this for several months. I just checked the exact numbers and I have $300 in uncleared bonus at Paradise and $630 at Stars, for a total of $930 in uncleared bonus. A quick check of the bonus grid shows that it will clear at the following rates per table hour:

.........Stars....Paradise
.5/1...$2.82....$4.26
1/2....$4.43....$5.61
2/4....$7.78....$3.89
3/6....$8.78....$4.39


This is for full ring. I'm glad I posted this, because I thought Paradise cleared faster at higher limits. Since this isn't the case, I'll probably get to work on that pretty soon. It's pretty clear that I should wait on Stars though since it will clear over 75% faster at 2/4 than at 1/2. Of course, there are faster clearing bonuses out there (Cryptos, etc.), so I'll probably play some of them before I worry too much about Paradise, but it just moved up on my list.

I should probably ask what exactly that table represents, and how it's figured.

It represents an approximation of the clearing rate for the bonus for each site for each limit. For example, if you play Stars $1/2 limit, you will clear the bonus at approximately $4.43 per table-hour. To estimate this for Stars, the approximate number of FPP per table hour was determined. This was divided by 5 since the bonus is cleared at 5 FPP per dollar of bonus. For Paradise, the rate was determined by dividing the approximate raked hands per table-hour by 10 since it clears at 10 raked hands per dollar.
