Poker stars bonus clearing question.

[chipolino]

I just wanna know if it's worth getting the $120 bonus that PokerStars is offering since I only play at 0.5/1 limit and I have never played there before; thus I have no clue how fast "5 FPPs for each $1" will clear the bonus? I usually 4-table.

Why didn't you just read this thread ?

Short answer is no.

If you want to clear fast, play 3/6, or $10+1 SNGs (100 of those will clear it)

Or you can do what I do, and deposit then withdraw a couple days later and stack the bonuses for when you have the roll to clear them [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I might play some SNGs this time through, just for a change of pace, even though I've just gotten started at 1/2 6-max.

I'm gonna do what you do Kaishin. Your play, brilliant in my opinion. You can withdraw 48 hours later correct?

[KaiShin]

Yeah 48 hours.

Just in time for Empire next week [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Eff 10+1 SNGs. Just double up the amount you play at once and do the 5+.50 ones. They actually end up paying you to play those. 3 FPP points = 60¢ for 50¢ invested.

Hey, there is no reason not to add money into yr bonus account. It never expires. You can clear it a year from now. Just deposit and then cashout.

Sorry, I missed that thread.

Instead of 200 5+.5 full SNGs you could do 300 5+.25 heads-up SNGs. 2 FPPs = 40¢ for 25¢ invested.

Man, the thought of playing 300 SnG's makes my head spin [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Think I'll just save it for later.

SnGs are so -ES (expected sleep) for me.
