How would you all do this??

full tilt poker sent me a bonus for $100, but here is the catch, for every full tilt point earn, I get 6 cents released, but what is worse is they will only release it in $10 increments, I only have $8 dollars that I have worked up from 80 cents, how the hell do I do this, I can only play micro limits as it would defeat my whole purpose of Cards chat bank roll management. I dont even see myself getting 10 bucks at this point, I have until sept. 12th to get the bonus. Wondering if I should even waste my time trying to get the bonus or what would you all do. thanks for any input.

Deposit.

Deposit.

Funny you mention that, I did think of that, but I cant make a deposit on there site for some reason, I can on bodog with out a problem, but not on full tilt. I have tried its rejects my visa card.

I would play the game I thought I was likely to build money at and not even think about the bonus until had enough to comfortably play microcash ~30$, if you lose it oh well.

Thought the $100 bonus I have is paid off in full or % completed after 30 days, is it not the same biggest bonus ever offer? First deposit is paid off in increments.

Yeah, that can be a problem. All-access (non-reloadable) Visa cards work from what I understand. I have a friend who used one about 2 weeks ago. You can check their website to see if anyone close to you sells them.

It's weird but apparently the "biggest bonus ever" was not only different amounts but it also pays off differently for different people. Mine ($500) is paid in $20 increments. IceMonkey's ($100) paid all at once after he cleared the entire amount. I know I have seen others post that their $100 bonus cleared in $10 increments. So basically, it's FTP so who knows.

You're of course right about not breaking the bankroll to clear any bonus.

Yes, with such bankroll is problematic to strum these points... In any case you lose nothing... Multitables and at happy hours!
There are many ways of the deposit for example moneybookers.

Yeah this one is weird they said they are not doing it for all players, so they say, but the incentive sounds good cause I want those points, but not at the risk of going against CC's bank roll lessons, I can just feel it, I will lose my little LOL very little bankroll I have. BTW money bookers dont work, they dont except US players. Thank goodness for CC bank roll thread and I watched chris fergesons vidoes on how he did it, it took him 18 months, not one year, but still that is dam good considering I cant make jack in poker.

I noticed that in 2007 I put $100 into full tilt and I only cleared 18 bucks of it before I went broke, so I dont know, but this deal sounds better, maybe I should have said, if your life was on the line and you only had 8 bucks, what would you do. I like the deposit idea but i wonder if I deposit will they let me run 2 bonuses at the same time.

My "biggest bonus ever" offer gets me $.06 for every 7 FTP's, where each FTP comes from each dollar of tourney fees (I don't play ring games). Since I'm currently playing $5+$.50 STT's, I earn $.06 x 7 x .5 = $.21 for each tourney. This is obviously 42% of my tourney fees, and they'll pay me all of my $100, or the portion I earn by the end of 30 days.

At least in my case, there doesn't seem to be any downside.

my opinion

I think the choice you make should be dictated by your goals:

1. If you're only playing for fun/gaining experience, then don't worry about clearing that bonus and just keep doing what you're doing until you're prepared to play higher...or

2. If you are interested in making money, then you really should deposit a little and start playing for somewhat more worthwhile stakes...in the time it will take you to gring $8 into anything meaningful, you could have spent that time working at even say McDonalds and made several times more given the opportunity cost of the time you'd have invested.

just my humble opinion...

Ok think I will go with option 2 if I could make a deposit, I do want to make money, and I have never worked at mickeys dees, I would be fired in 2 days or less, thats why I have my own company, but I saw poker as a way to make some extra cash, if it was only easier to deposit in this situation, cause I dont trust online poker but I cant go to a live casino either, man I am really screwed.

I did have one idea and that was to not miss one cards chat free roll and play all the free rolls I can and build a bank rolll were I can move up to 25/50 cent tables, then those points would add up, but all good responses, please keep them coming I have 29 days, umm wait, 28 days left.

One last note and a good post: Since I'm currently playing $5+$.50 STT's,

I cant do that it would also go against my cc bank roll management rules. I never noticed but I read Cards chat BR and people say this and say that, but when I really sat down and said ok, hell with this lets really follow it to a tee, damm its works.

PS: I will still go broke win lose or draw, but at least this time I will have fun doing it, or if I do make it, guess I have to give credit to CC BRM. which is fine by me.
