I know bonus chasing is good for building a nice bankroll and there's nothing wrong at all with that. That's all I'm doing right now is bonus chasing. But do you think it hinders your poker improvement? I tend to play very very tight all the time just trying to play break even so I can clear the whole bonus. Sometimes I'm break even or slightly above or slightly below when chasing a bonus. But as far as my poker goes, I'm not very aggressive at all, I tend to just nut camp and play a very restricted number of opening hands. If I look at my PT stats, my VP$P is a whopping 13.75, and PF raise % is 1.58, with my amount won sitting at 13.56 over 10,000 hands since I got PT about a month and a half ago. Now this winning % doesnt include the bonus money I've won which has been a few thousand plus since mid Dec.

So my poll question. Do you think bonus chasing hinders your poker improvement? In my situation the answer is Yes, But no way I stop chasing bonuses.

edit: I think I should have put "But no way I stop chasing bonuses at end of the Maybe tag also.
