| I understand that the greatest value for redeeming FPP's would be ideally to wait until you reach the higher Bonus milestones, however I have 30,000 FPP's and recently had to cash out a couple grand leaving me with a little over 1k. So since this Bonus is nearly 30 percent of my roll, should I use my FPP's on this Bonus to increse the roll, or should I still wait to use them at a better value? Thanks. (or maybe my math is off here and I'm missing the obvious principle of what's better, increasing the bankroll signifcantly based on my smaller BR or by waiting to achieve the highest value for FPP's, any suggestions are greatly appreciated Ty.) |

Meh.
Personally I'd take the cash, unless you're destroying you current stake and ready to move up. The people discounting the $285 Bonus are playing often or high enough that larger bonuses are realistic.

Thanks for the response guys... I'm currently grinding the 34.50 heads up turbos as they are the most profitable way for me to grind ... I did alright at 50-100nl cash heads up but personally I was making more in the SnG's (Obviously due to lack of hands played in cash and in turn not being as good, as I realize HU cash is potentially more profitable) And Swiggidy as I have only reached Platinum level once in about a year since switching to stars from cake, I guess I shouldn't even think twice about this and just take the cash... thoughts?
Edit: I do feel I'm killing this stake however if I can't reach platinum level this is an easy decision to take the cash correct? |

Or grind some hands & at least get somewhat better value with the $650 Bonus. But again, if it's gonna be that hard to grind 20k more FPPs, take the $285. |
