This problem has been annoying me all effin day at work and just wanted to know what you would do.

Im going to just play cash from now on and have made a small profit on pokerstars $20 lol but i played some tourneys and abit of cash on FT aswell and taken some beats losses etc and im down to 40 from 100 but do i carry on and try and clear my FT bonus and then withdraw it (dont know if u can or not) or withdraw my 40 bucks now and run while i can.

Any advice will be appreciated as i have decided im going to stick to one site and try and go for silverstar on stars.

Thanks
Jake

I don't see how with only $40 on FullTilt how you can clear any bonus. But if there is some way to do that, then you'd be throwing free money away if you did not capitalize on it now.

Will FT even LET you withdraw only $40?? I tried a while ago to withdraw a smaller amount like that an' they said I couldn't--it wasn't enough---but that was quite a while ago! Said I needed to withdraw a certain limit over my initial depost or SUMPIN' like at! And as far as yer bonus $$$ go, don't you gotta win a certain amount of points, like at UB? I really never did all that well at FT OR PS fer that matter---but seem to do LOTS better at UB--so I kinda stick there w/my cash deposits an' games! An' don't have a clue as to WHY! My style of play is pretty consistant at all sites---who knows! GL with wat ever U decide!

Playing just for a bonus is always a bad idea. You play differently. I'd withdraw if thats your mindset.

I don't agree with this advise at all. Bonus whoring is a great way to increase the bankroll.

If you play differently because there is a bonus on the line, you may need to reconsider your general game. Poker is a game of math and numbers. There is a human factor in which you will make decisions which are controlled by your poker skills...which is governed by math. Playing poker with scared money, because you have a bonus, because your hair is messed up, whatever, is a leak in your game.

Free money is always a good thing. Always.

Your withdrawl at fulltilt must be 50 dollars or more. And yes you can wait till you get your bonus to withdrawl.
