I have been playing online for three years and have always been a winning player. After having a horrible run trying to learn the 5/10 6max games last winter I took some time off from poker and did a casino whoring binge to build my bankroll back up. Since then I've started to get back into poker with the "always be clearing a bonus" mentality.

In 100,000 plus hands at the Party 2/4 and 3/6 and Pacific 5/10 games my winrate was about 1.3-1.5 BB per 100 hands. After 6,000 hands at the 1/2 Crypto sites I've won $3. These hands were all full ring. I know thats a small sample size but its taken several months to get that many hands specifically at Crypto.

It seems that all the whoring friendly sites (Crypto, Prima, Absolute) all play relatively the same, very weak tight with nobody wanting to put money at risk. In comparison I would rate a typical 1/2 Crypto player similar to a Party 5/10 full ring player, though less aggressive. Although breaking even is still very profitable clearing these bonuses its also very frustrating.

I'm wondering just how beatable these games are? Do the easy bonuses just create unbeatable rock gardens or do I just need to learn how to adjust to these tight games? Do you see a big difference between the Crypto and Absolute games? Could someone post significant stats or winrates on these games?

I'm wondering if I should just join the weak tight fest and purposely try to break even?
