Anyone else find this party reload as horrible to play through?

[Jurollo]

Maybe it is because of all the bonuses they have going and all the 4-tabling, but jeez clearing this one actually felt like work. :-(, ended up down $11 overall after starting the bonus with a $200 downswing in 2/4, but it was like pulling teeth. Although I will say, NL$25 is the way to clear these bonuses you fly through raked hands there. First time I found myself rooting for hands to be raked, haha.

The only thing worse is when you're deciding to make a call or not, and probably shouldn't make it, except doing so will cause the hand to be raked. I've done that a few times. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I've found myself winning 10+1 SNGs to cover my limit losses in getting this thing done...ugh.

I have definitely been rooting for raked hands, it keeps me interested!

I am clearing it at 2/4.

Why change your game?

I keep fluctuating between -50 and -100BB during this last week. Of couse, I'm new to 6max, and don't usually play this often, so hopefully that has something to do with it.

I like the idea. The problem is that I'm cursed. Each time I sit down at a NL table I get slaughtered by runner-runners. Also, people never bluff me. They just fire at my TPTK with sets and weird two pairs.
The aftermath usually goes like this:

Girlfriend: How did it go?
Me: God hates me. According to my karma, I was a serial killer in my last ten lives.
Girlfriend: Did you play NL again? You know it's bad for you.
Me: Yeah. But I get more raked hands.

The last few times I bonus whored the Party bonuses I just played super LAG at NL 25 with a lot of pre-flop minraising to make sure the pot gets raked.

However now at NL 50 any hand that sees the flop is raked, so I just play my normal game and the raked hands go by pretty quick.

I changed my limits because you get far far more raked hands in NL 6-max then 2/4 limit full and I am planning on taking a break from poker and wanted to clear it the quickest way possible. Hence the change.

Just finished clearing my bonus. Lost $39.50 so I netted about $160. Just can't seem to shake this bad run I've been on for the past few months. That and the extremely tight players because of all the bonus clearers made for some frustrating times.
