Advice to OP if you will ever play poker again: NEVER NEVER NEVER play just to clear the bonus, you are very likely to lose
It happened to me many times, it is best to not let the bonus influence your decisions to play or not to play
My best month ever was when FT was running their "take 2" in April.
I played each day only until I had achieved enough FT pts to qualify for that day.
I played "ABC" poker, avoiding tight spots and being extremely careful about position, odds etc. Just paying close attention to what I was doing resulted in a successful run -- when all I wanted to do was achieve the volume w/o losing too badly.
Since then I set myself a session points goal, and play to that goal. At the moment that points goal is enough to clear 1/2 of a bonus portion.
The OP makes one dubious statement IMO:
"I'm complaining that poker is a waste of time, the only skill it gives you is playing poker, witch outside of poker is useless, and is used for Money laundering."
There are several skills that one takes away from poker, prime among them is the ability to analyse and evaluate situations quickly. Ability to focus, ability to interpret results and so many more.
Poker is enjoyable. So are movies, but you get no skillz at all from movies.
