Hey all, I've finally decided to play somewhere other then PS and Party to a lesser extent, and will be depositing 600 into FT in the upcoming days.
Regarding clearing the bonus what have people found to be the best game to do this at? I figured 4 tabling FR 1/2 would probably take 20,000 hands? (~60hours)
I would play NL but I don't feel properly rolled @ 600 bucks to multi-table anything but .05/.10 and at that limit clearing the Bonus will be hell...
I figured maybe a 80%/20% mix of 4-tabling 1/2LH & 1-2 tabling NL25...

What does everyone think? Thanks in advance...

I may be wrong but I thought the FT bonus was almost impossible to clear at that level. You might be better off elsewhere..

Nah, I think your probably mistaken 1/2 I'm pretty sure can clear that bonus in roughly 20-25k hands of playing...

Another question regarding FT, how do you get the windows to "tile" like on Stars... This is making Multitabling very annoying.

Actually I think the bonus is easy. You have 4 months to clear it, and 4-tabling .25/.5, it should take no longer than a month. Two weeks ago I deposited $400, and had to collect 6600 FTPoints, and I'm already up to about 4200.

FTP doesn't support table resizing, you're stuck with the windows as they are.

You have to manually move them about to best position them, there's no auto-tile feature like in stars.

Ive just checked..
Full tilt is approximately 5 times slower to clear than B2B or most Prima - even the Crypros do better.- Its nowhere near a Party...

The few times I played there it seems OK... its just not the most competitive bonus...

Clearing a bonus - basically when you see all of these adverts for poker bonuses (100% upto $500 etc.) - the conditions of these bonus are usually that you have to play a number of raked hands or aquire a certain amount of loyalty points before you a payed your bonus. To clear a bonus is to successfully achieve all of the requirements, and in turn receive your bonus.

SNG - Sit 'n Go tournament. An unscheduled tournament that starts when the required number of entrants have registered. These used to be called Single Table Tournaments, but there are now many multi table sit n gos (i.e. 180 man $5 SNG). They play out in the same way as any other tourney e.g rising blinds, fixed payout structure.
