if u really want to clear the whole bonus, rings are really the way to go... otherwise, play what u can win at. the only way to clear a bonus is to win. i would wait until i doubled my bankroll to move up to double the buy in, but that's just me

If you have a strong STT game, then I would recommend the $3.00 + $0.40 9Max SNG. I know it isn't anywhere close to proper BR management, but the rake at the $1 games are way high. To be honest, I don't know SNG you could do with that BR. Maybe try the 1 cent 2 cent cash games until you build it up to $70. Then you would have a safe BR to start playing micro SNGs.

Very difficult to clear a bonus playing SnG's. These bonus's are designed to get you onto the cash tables where you need to grind your way to build up points.

Yeah no problem. The $1 game is beatable for sure, but the time you put in for the profits is definitely not worth it. A very very very good player would make a small amount over a large volume of games in a very long time even from mass muti-tabling. It's not because of the variance, it's the rake % compared to the buy-in. Still, I would recommend trying the 1 cent/2 cent. The players are very fishy and they'll call their whole stack with top pair and a draw. If you don't feel comfortable putting the max buy in, don't worry, players there would put around $0.80 in a $5 max buy in table so you can play "short stacked". Good luck in your endeavorers.

I agree strongly, even though you don't like cash games.
Play what you feel most comfortable with and stay within bankroll management guidelines. The bonus will come. Don't even think about it. I'm not sure how much time you get at PS, but unless your only gonna play an hour a day, you'll clear $40 easily.

i am pretty sure there are 1.2$ 6 max sngs and they are very easy, the problem is they are not turbo but as the people are very dumb it won't last too long, i promise, give them a shot.

nice, i agree that it's very difficult to clear a bonus through strictly sit and go's, tryed it before and no luck, switched to cash games and started racking up FPP's but as another poster has already said, PLAY WHAT YOU CAN WIN! sounds like your doing good bro, keep it up.
