So, with a br of about 25-30$ I am down to clearing about $30 more of a bonus in the next 5 days.

Being the FRW I am, I am beginning to feel worried I may not do it, or worse, blow the existing BR.

Since these were FR winnings to begin with I feel a bit blessed to have stretched them this far (over a year), however, free money is free money. Problem is though I can see where the bonus wasn't really free money. It came with conditions.

I refuse to play when I am not in the mood, or tired from working where I am making real money, or playing so poorly that failure is guarenteed.

Any suggestions ?????

Umm, its only $30. If you lose its not the end of the world...

If micro poker really does mean that much to you an extra $30 will be a big boost to your bankroll - so I definately think its worth the risk. You cant be so hardup that $30 matters that much where as a $60 bankroll is alot healthier than a $30 bankroll!

Good luck in your decision mate!

Check to see when the bonus expires...if you still have time then just play like you normally do and don't worry about it.

Your time is worth more than $30. Your happiness is worth much more than that as well. If you feel like playing, play. If you don't then go do something else you need to do or enjoy. Don't sweat it.

I know you have expressed dislike of the site before, but if you are going to play with a small bankroll at low limits (and are simultaneously concerned with clearing your bonus) you might consider UB:

1. their bonus never expires.

2. they have $1.10 SNG around the clock (single table, as well as up to 100 player), and the structure is the best of any site.

3. as noted in other posts you can actually clear the bonus just sitting at the lowest level cash games and only playing AA.

As to your current dilemma, I wouldn't attempt to significantly change your playing habits just to try to clear it.

Well, as it worked out, I thought I had more time than I really did, and my valid date just happened a few hours ago.

So, in order to have any BR at all for some special occasion, I will go back to my roots, FRW DELUXE!

Yeah, ive done the same on Ladbrokes. Donked that BR away feeling like an ubermench - fueled by beer and G&T's. Back to freerolls and build a new one. Lesson learned.

The one on pokerstars is rising slowly but steadily though. Off course i dont play like a souped up addict there...
