Full Tilt bonus WTF

[Patrick Bateman]

Hi all.

I'm a small stakes grinder who deposited $600 a few days ago at Full Tilt for maximum first deposit bonus. But this bonus seems to clear at a very slow rate. How did you all do it? What's my play? What limits etc?

FWIW my normal games are everything below a dollar up to 2-4 dollars for limit and 50-100 dollar buy in for NL.

Thanks.

It is pretty slow at times. Check the hourly rate on Bonuswhores.com and just see it as a "rakeback". Not a bonus you clear after 4 days and then cash out.

Thinking of it as extra rakeback is the best way to think about it. You can clear it at the higher end of your range within the four months.

Fulltilt has one of the best rake structures around and with the "bonus" this is cut in half.

I deposited $450, and didn't have too much trouble clearing it at 50NL. It took about 20k hands. All in all, i thought that was pretty reasonable.

If you play limit you need to play 2/4+ or it will clear painfully slow.

Ive played 50nl exclusively for a month and a half, and have cleared 520 of the 600. Not that hard.

Huh? Are you complaining that the rake is too low?

Bottom line is that with rakeback and bonus you get 70% of your rake back in ring games and that's hard to beat. It releases in increments so if all you do is play there when you don't have a bonus elsewhere, it's still a decent deal.

clear all at once or in chunks?

Clears in increments, 10% I believe. Cool thing is they give you 6 months to do it, so take yer time.
