Do I just suck at limit ring games?

FWIW, I ended this $100 bonus down $34 playing, under 3 hours to clear. Previous bonuses I've either been down less, or up less, right below even playing ring HE for bonuses.

Oh, obviously it's better for me in the long run to have those people in the hands, I thought that was implied. But anyway, yeah I think I have to loosen up a LOT with this game compared to SNGs. I won a couple decent sized pots just now with A-high on hands that actually had bets from other people (I had a couple overcards I saw as live outs and a flush draw which didn't hit, but ended up taking the pot anyway).

Should I really be raising much more than that in these games?

Yes, you suck at limit ring. But it doesn't have to be that way. Study posts here in the limit forums, read a book or two. 1/2 isn't that hard.

Been doing quite a bit better now that I've loosened up quite a bit. Bought PT today (still waiting for my registration) so that should help out. What kind of BB/100 is reasonable for someone in my position? How about a "seasoned" 1/2 player?

I don't really care if I can beat it, I know I'm not going to lose 50 BB in 500 hands

LMAO!

-30BB swings are a regular occurance for me. -50 is nothing to freak about.

?? The point is I'm playing ring for the bonus. Show me a person that consistently loses anywhere CLOSE to 50BB per 500 hands and I will be looking at the worst poker player ever.
