Hi there ,
I have a cash bonus pending and I need another 800FTP to release the remaining 80$ in there.
I consider depositing another 50$ dedicated to release that bonus. I'm not sure SSS is good enough since last time I only lost money with it.
What do you think is the best / fastest way to release that bonus with 50$ BR?
If you can handle it you should play SSS on 8 tables. If you lose money when playing SSS you should take a look at the Full Tilt academy and watch the video about 5 Common Hold 'em Leaks. If you manage to break even you can earn those points pretty quick.
Thank you.
Are you sure SSS ? 50$ means 10NL game which doesnt get a lot of FPP as I recall
Your thread title reminded me of a joke..........

She marries him when he is Billionaire :-)
DON'T invest another 50$ with the aim of clearing the bonus. It sounds paranoid, but that is exactly what they're hoping you'll do.
You need to think of the bonus as free money which it would be great if you could clear but not the actual purpose of playing. If you risk your own money to clear it, you're falling into a bit of a trap. Ask yourself what you'll do if you lose that money (which you realistically could if you have lost money with SSS in the past)? Will you deposit another 50$? I would counsel you not to risk your own real money for the chance to win 'notional' money.
If you play SSS strictly according to the charts, imho, you cannot fail to make money, long term, on the lower limits; but you do have to be very patient and very disciplined. However, I really think it's a prerequisite to be able to play SSS profitably before you consider moving on to anything else. If you can't do so profitably, there is a good chance you won't be able to make money at any other Holdem variety either - SSS is basically the start point of NL Holdem. Everything else requires more skill/decision making and is therefore less suitable for the kind of multitable grinding that bonus-clearing demands.
best of luck,
Tim
Why the rush? Take your time in clearing it. By being impatient you're taking an unnecessary risk. Play whatever game you know best, even if it will take 2x as long to get those points.
To clear my bonus at another site I started making profits at SnG,s but points came too slowly. So I switched to FL. I lost about $60 clearing a $50 bonus 
If you're not confident about your SSS, do not play it for the sake of clearing your points.
Sure, the fastest way may be SSS. But the best way? Play your best game.
That's a pretty good point. Besides that you have 4 months to clear your bonus. That's a lotta time.
