I am bonus whoring using $200 at a site. I normally play NL. You need to play .25/.50 to clear the bonus. This would mean I have to buy in for 50 at NL.

Even though I always play NL should I play limit in this case to reduce the posibility that I would lose 200?

I think you should just find a different bonus and comeback later. playing $50NL w/ 4-buy ins is ludiciously insane.

you could try just buying in for $10, and playing shortstack strategy, but that's probably not the best idea.

Options:

#1 Find more money ($1000 is a suitable bankroll for .25/.50 NL)

#2 Move down if you wanna play NL ($200 is a suitable bankroll for NL10, 0.05/0.10)

#3 Play .25/.50 NL with your roll and basically flip a coin to decide if you lose your whole $200 or not (and this is assuming you can beat this game very easily).

NL .25/.50, $10, play Miller's SS strategy. Pray.

He could easily go BUSTO doing this anyways. 20buyins is a joke for a super short stack strategy.

Play limit to clear your bonuses

I just like the word BUSTO!

my reasoning is that he will be playing ultratight at the NL table with the SS strategy but on quite a few sites you just need to be dealt in to get credit for the hand.

.25/.50 limit to clear a bonus is what... 4 months?

Go to William Hill or Ritz club, they have a 45$ bonus for 5 hours of play, sit at 4x .050/1.00 NL tables with $50 at each table, play ultra tight. It takes less than 1½ hour. If you're a winning player, you'll be fine.
otherwise, no bonus will save you.

Good luck to you!

Limit. Try .5/1. You learn a new game and the bonus with subsidize your learning curve.
