Hi mate,Don't take this as gospel, but I think the PS affiliated Titan FDB is 200% up to $600. Thus depositing $300 should be sufficient to entitle you to the full $600.
That said, I don't think a BR of $300 is sufficient to grind out the necessary 2100$ rake over 3 months unless you play sick volume.
I've had virtually no life for the last 12 weeks...
I emailed Titan and they say its 50% bonus up to $200. So I would deposit $400 and would need 24K TP to clear the $200 at 600TP/$5
I like ur bonus better though =/

Hi guys,
I chatted with Titan online support and apparently the first deposit bonus is 100% up to $500, meaning I deposit $500 and can clear $500 in $5 segments for each 600 points I acumulate. Now I just need a credit card that allows gambling. No rush, since I'm sure it will be cleared way faster if I'm on NL100; on NL50 I will be under a lot of pressure because I don't play tons of hands per day.
In case you're wondering how I've been doing at NL50, the answer is not too good. My BB/100 went from like 8.50 to about 3.50. I tried tightening up and playing ABC but it didn't work, so I'm trying something different: loosening up in position and also mixing up my play a bit, such as raising 4BB utg with 44, 89s type hands on a FR table. If theres aggro players in CO/BU, I sometimes limp AA utg too, with pretty good results up till now.
I will stop playing like a robot and do things they(regs) dont expect and actually have some fun with bluffs from time to time. I will take PS strats with a pinch of salt and my "gut feeling" will play a bigger role now.
Recently, I noticed that I was getting negative thoughts whenever I considered playing online, and thought to myself: "this isnt logical". Why do I feel bad when I know I will have to play session? Why should I dread seeing the same regs every day? Aren't they dreading seeing me too? Why am I scared of playing the maniacs? Are they better players than me? Why does the great feeling of winning seem like ancient history?
So I told myself that they should be scared of me, not the other way around. I shouldn't be worrying about them stacking me, they should tremble at the thought of me stacking them! I CAN and I WILL stack them whenever I can!
Someone posted on the forum that poker isnt about winning, its about not losing, well I don't agree! I must strive to win each hand whenever possible! Fuck playing scared and worrying about losing!
So my new mindset to playing online is cliche but its like a shark being released into a fish tank, I will observe them, identify each one's moves and snap them up without them knowing what happened!
oops...got a bit carried away there...but you get the point 
7bb/100 is very good for a fr player, you just ran like god for a bit imo.
Once again i'd advice for you to try out shorthanded seems like you want to experiment with your game and SH allows much more room for creativity, full ring is for mass multitabling nits, playing loose on fr isn't the best idea.
Even if you won't like shorthanded play it should improve your game a lot and add some new excitement to the grind.
Most FR regs after SH should look like little scared fishys. ♦

i agree u cant ever play scared
After 75 days I am finally getting close to breaking my BR record(about $2477), and this is a big deal because I used to break it every other day.
I lost quite a bit imitating Sammy Farha and his loose play on High Stakes Poker until I realized that he knew his opponents very well and I didn't.
However, losing money really helps my game in the sense that I lose my fear and can focus on beating my opponents instead of worrying about them all the time. Its like sports, you learn when you lose, not when you win.
I find I'm understanding better(with experience) what my opponent's Elephant stats mean.
Analyzing my hands after a loss and seeing villains stats, I can put 2 and 2 together and see what types of players with certain stats do in certain spots. This way I can determine a bit easier what their bets mean and put them on a smaller handrange, which in turn helps me make better decisions.
I sometimes pot control my TP vs a nit because I sense he has an OP or when a station/maniac has hit his SD/FD and usually I'm right, which boosts my confidence and motivation. "Big pots are for big hands" has worked wonders after I understood what it means. You must determine what a "big hand" means, and it depends on the opponent.
I'm trying to avoid tables full of regular TAGs as much as possible, specially if they have position on me and are aggressive.
I have a system of beating the SSS and it works great so far. Im so glad I played a bit of SSS when I started. Also, using Equilator helps a lot vs "advanced SSS" players as you can see what their VPIP means and that they try and steal a lot from CO/BU. Its important to not have them on your left because they will resteal a lot.
My goal since from what seems like a loooong time is to make $3K and go to NL100. Its just a matter of time if you ask me because I'm very confident of my game at the moment and feel that I am ready for the next limit and all its problems.
Its great to be motivated and winning the mental battle again.
Hi!
Its great to see you feel well about ur game
After all its all about how one feels. If you believe you can beat your opponents, then you probably will.
Also i see you are now more confident about moving up, since i know you hasited a bit with moving up to NL50 with 40stacks Thats great as well!
Anyway, wish you best luck 
Nice ♦
Wish you luck and good play on the table ^_^
Good luck in breaking your record hope 1 day i will be able to get your bankroll lolxD

Epic bump. 
I managed to withdraw $300 from Mansion and now I have to figure out how to get them out of Moneybookers since they can't send it to my credit card.
o and I have a bad hangover.
why do you need to get them out of MB when you can deposit directly with it?
what's the plan btw? ♦

You mean deposit in my bank?
Plan? The plan is to see if this money is real or imaginary lol
Hi TheBrood,
I hope you've made the withdrawal from moneybookers, if not just send me the money to my MB account and I'll give you the money in Lempiras cash i promise...
Nah ♦ I'm just kidding, I've made a few transfers and if you live in Honduras the best way to get your money from a casino is by Moneybookers Bank transfer, never had a problem, u just have to wait a couple of days and pay a few charges. I prefer Banco Ficohsa because they only charge $15 (CitiBank and Atlantida charged me the same plus intermediaries fee $10 more) and MoneyBookers will charge $2.40-$3. Once Moneybookers approves my withdrawal (less than 24h) the money is accessible in my account in 24-48h.
In my MoneyBookers account I've verified my address (I don't know if that helps) and i haven't verified my credit card, i hope you haven't done this because i think you wont be able to withdraw to American Banks and since all Honduras banks handle their transfer through American banks they will reject the transfer (I'm not so sure about the credit card but i if you haven't verified your card don't worry, if you did then check with MB before requesting a bank transfer). Regards,
BAM
