I'm curious about the thoughts you guys might have about a newbie trying to clear a bonus? As I get more experience with the "system" of playing raked hands, etc., on Party - I think I made a big mistake with my initial deposit.

I more enjoy playing the 6 max tables, rather than the full 10 person tables. Clearing the initial deposit and referral bonuses seemed to take a lot longer on 6 max tables.

Because you're having to blind-in more frequently, and because it seems like 99% of the hands in a full ring game get "raked", while it only seemed like about 85 - 90% of the 6-max games would count as "raked". Speaking in terms of the $1/$2 tables here.

If I had it to do over again, I would have played all my "bonus-clearing" hands on a full ring game, rather than a 6 max table. Seems like it wouldn't have taken as long, while I still could have played a higher percentage of raked hands free, without having to post the blind repeatedly.
