Thanks to CasinoOwnage, I learned about a Party poker reload bonus that I decided to try. So I made my deposit for the $200 bonus for which I need to play 2400 raked hands. Last night I played some 3-table 2/4 shorthanded and took away $230. I realized though that the 2/4 limit was going to take a long time to clear the raked hand requirement. Since I only have a week to clear it, I needed to make sure that I can clear it. So today I dropped down to 1/2 shorthanded where raked hands happen much more often. It didn't go nearly as well. After losing $140, I decided to stop and take a break. I did succeed at one thing ... I cleared a lot of hands. I'm over half way to clearing my $200 bonus. We'll see how the bonus clearing goes tomorrow I guess! I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable playing shorthanded. There are times that I really feel comfortable. Even when I'm losing, a lot of the time I feel like I know what's going on and when I make mistakes I can quickly identify them. So the shorthanded learning process continues ...
