Bonus Whoring for a Bankroll

If you find someone offering a stars deposit bonus that is great because it clears really quickly.

Stars is NOT a good recommendation if the OP says that his friend will start at 50c/$1 limits. even at $1/2, you only need a $10 pot to count on absolute vs. $15 on stars (though 20c bonus vs. 10c can compensate for that). with proper table selection, absolute is not that tight where you would avoid playing $1/2 there altogether.
