How the F do you clear the FT signup bonus??

PLAY TOURNAMENTS

When you are playing hands that don't help clear the bonus at least you didn't pay any rake either.

Finally finished mine. Took 20k hands: 3k at each of 50NL and 200NL, and 14k at 100NL.

If I deposit $600 in order to get the max bonus of $600, how many raked hands (approximatively) should I play on 0.05/0.10NL?

Well, I figured out that it will take me about 30k hands of $50NL to clear the $600 bonus, so basically you need to move up to higher stakes in order to clear the bonus in time.

You can 6-table NL$50 ... I've managed to put away 12K hands in two weeks playing part-time (and a little more than usual this weekend), and I'm just over a third of the way through the signup bonus. 6-tabling NL$50 also means that you can hit your Iron Man status for each day in about 90 minutes of real time (100 points/45 minutes).

I've played ~9k hands at 50NL and have cleared $180 of the bonus. Combined with others' feedback, I'd agree that ~30K hands at 50NL. So with 10k hands a month, it's quite do-able. Took me about 60 huors to get the 9k hands with an average of 2.5 tables at once (sometimes play 2, sometimes play 3 or 4 at once).

as I understand the T&C the bonus = 60% rakeback (dealt method)

Aprroximately 127,000 total hands (extrapolated from BW .10/.25 at $.74 per hour full ring). Have fun.

weeeeelllll, 4tabling, that's a mere 30k hands. 60h/h, that's 5000h; since you have 120 days to complete the bonus, you only need to play 40h/day to clear it. Where's the problem? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
