Bonus Question

Party Poker are offering rewards for completion of "missions". Playing $10 tables, if I first win a hand at showdown with Quads and then later with a straight flush I will win a $25 bonus.

Bearing in mind that I need to showdown should I just check down my quads and later my straight flush or should I play normally and hope to get a call? My thoughts are that as both hands will only come up very rarely I should play for the bonus. By playing aggressively the maximum I can win is $20 minus rake assuming one opponent. By playing passively I can still win a full pot against aggression and hit my bonus. Any thoughts?

Unless I hit the hand I intend to play normally.

If I understand the question correctly, I think you should check/call it down.

I agree the challenges are harder to hit due to the rarity of the hands, but doesn't the bonus have restrictions on it? I would rather win some cash at the table, you could always go to a lower stake to complete the mission and you won't care about checking the small pots there.
