So I cleared the Party bonus and deposited back into Empire, reloading my account no further than the 280 BB I had when I took the break.
I had the following hands happen in the first 85 hands I played. Log off, no?
Hand 1. I can never be sure if the players at 2/4 are full of [censored], or waiting until the turn to bet and raise their monster. It seems like it's 50/50. According to game theory, aren't I pretty much [censored] no matter what I do?

Hand 3. I really, really, really, really [censored] suck at HU situations for some reason. Here I pick a horrible river to checkraise.
