    Default Bonus grinding

    Just curious on any suggestions to clearing bonuses on FT. I'm a SnG player, but I remember reading a while back that the best way was to play as many Omaha H/L tables as you could stand at a time, being that they would roll the rake really quick and pile up pts.
    I've never been very profitable at ring games, comments?
    Other ideas?

    why not just play the game you're best at and let the bonus clear itself?

    Your focus should be on making money from poker, not from bonuses, which are just another form of rakeback.

    Well yeah, I'd been thinking since this post, and I should profit WAY more from winning than if I maxed out my bonus (more than double actually), so I think that'll be my approach.
    The reason I posed the question AFchung is if I stayed at the same bankroll (hopefully ofcourse I won't) and stuck with a 20 buyin br strategy, I'd have to play over 600 SnGs in 120 days. That's roughly 5 table/hrs/day. I currently probably average 3. Meaning if I didn't profit enough to move up several game levels I'd only clear a little more than 1/2 the bonus, but as I said, I should focus far more on playing my game, and the bonus is just that, bonus.

    yeah actually I'm going to have to agree with the other posters
    make the most profit possible from the game

    chasing bonuses is not the way to go
