4500 Titan Points?

Anyone have an idea on how many hours it would roughly take to accumulate 4500 titan points with a 50$ starting br?

Longer then it would be worth

Basically www.pokersourceonline.com gave me a 50$ instant bankroll with Titan, but I can't withdraw until I have 4500 points. I'm probably gonna play there for an evening at my usual microstakes and see where that gets me. If it's apparent that it'll take months I'll probably use the free 50$ as an excuse to play some tournaments there.

I know at PartyPoker.com I cleared their 250 raked hand bonus requirement in no time, but something tells me this will take a lot longer.

There are ways around withdrawal issues.

Such as?

Not that I want to necessarily withdraw right away, but I mean if it's going to be months before I can (even if I am signifcantly up in winnings) then I'll probably just play a bunch of cheap tournaments to get some experience in them and if I lose it all who cares.

Loooooooooong time.

I had to get 800 pts at Noble for PokerTracker (same iPoker network as Titan, same rake structure) and it took quite a while; I got 1200 pts in the end on Noble and at the end I was sitting at $0.10/0.20NL and $0.25/0.50NL tables just folding the hands and clearing the bonus. At that level you get about 1pt per hand on average.

On Titan I've only got about 420 points (cleared the first $5 yesterday of $70 bonus). Playing $0.05/0.10NL at reasonably loose tables I think you can expect points for every 3 hands (if you're lucky on crazy tables you get more like a point for 2 hands).
Playing the $0.02/$0.04 tables is almost a waste of time; not much chance of getting big enough pots there.

You can play the $0.05/0.10NL, some of which are $5max. But it's not ideal.

Anyway, to get your 4500 pts will take >10k hands I'd say. If you're lucky. Be prepared for more like 15k-20k.
That said, if you play tight/aggressive you get so many weak players and so many who are just there to clear a bonus(!) that you can at least break even while you're waiting.

If you go to PSO site, they have announced that ONLY 1500 points are needed to meet the promotion requirements. They told me 4500 points on the phone, and than it was 3500 and than 3000, well, someone wised up and realized that those points will take light years to clear. As much as i could use the money, I will say that I am actually for the first time in a while building a roll as opposed to losing one. I have meet the 1500 points playing the 10nl tables and a bit of the 25nl tables.
I actually have an interesting story. I go the $50, and got it to 115 playing 10nl,25nl. Well, donked it off down to about 4-6 bucks. started grinding it at the .01/.02 tables and the .02/04 tables. Got it up to 15 bucks. I than hit a Royal Flush and the added 14 bucks. Oh, did I mention that customer service called me in between that and gave me 12 bucks.
Well, i finally have begun to run well and I ahve it up to $95 as we speak. Will move up to the 25nl table again after I get to $200-250.
