This is a very popular and frequent question amongst many poker players. And this is a right question to ask if you have made your first deposit at
PokerStars.
In this article I will cover some of the best, easy and fast ways to win more FPP's and release your PokerStars bonus as fast as possible. No, i won't tell you
how to play winning poker, but I will reveal some of the best practices how to earn PokerStars FPP's.
The first question you may ask is what is the best way to accumulate FPP's? Ring games or tournaments?
The answer is RING GAMES. Simply, when you play cash games, you’ll generate rake (FPP) on every single hand you’re dealt into. In tournaments is different. The SNG
(Sit and Go) and MTT (Multi table tournaments) include a tournament fee + fixed rake fee. For example if the tournament buy-in is $10+$1. That means $10 goes into
the prize pool and $1 is your rake fee. You can play poker for hours, but your rake will still be just $1.
As you can see, tournaments is a waste of time and it may take forever to earn certain amount of FPPs. Keep in mind that you have 183 days to earn your FPPs on PokerStars and get
%100 bonus.
1. Play the game you are best at.
Stick to the game that you know best. This is very important. For example, I'm a big fan of Texas Hold'em and I play it almost every day. I don't like Omaha so much,
so, in my case, rather I choose Omaha I will choose Texas Holdem as the easiest and fastest way to clear my bonus. Though Omaha pots get bigger, and more
rake is generated, I'm not good at it and I won't risk to lose my money.
Look for a game and limit where you are making money and let the bonus take care of
itself. Don't try to play high stakes if you've never played before!
2. Don't think about the bonus.
I know, it's easy to say, but hard to do. Anyway if you manage to do this, you are close to success already. So rather than concentrating on clearing the
bonus, concentrate on playing your game well and getting your winrate up, because whatever you earn in bonus will be less than you win by playing. Just play
poker as you usually do.
TIP: Play Omaha Hi-Lo as you earn the points quicker.
3. Multi-tabling.
If you're able to play more than one table at one time. Great! This is the way you go. When you play more tables, you get more hands per hour. With more
hands per hour, you generate more rake and if you'll get lucky you'll make more money too. By multi-tabling you can double or even triple your bonus
unlocking process.
4. Play ultra tight.
As you know FPP's come with participation in raked hands. So, all you need to do, is simply to be dealt in hand. Play tight and play only premium hands and
let other generate rake for you.
Remember: don't get obsessed by these bonuses, play your usual style and keep to bankroll management rules!
Good Luck!
