It's Like I Don't Know How to Play

Another weekend, another beating administered by the players at Party Poker.

$0.50/$1 Holdem - 2.5 table hours, ($12)
$1/$2 Omaha8 - 1.5 table hours, ($30). Most of that was one brutal hand where I came in with KKQJ double-suited, flopped K-6-6, and somebody had the other two sixes for quads. One small bet preflop, three on the flop, and 4 big bets on the turn and river. Ugh.
$2/$4 holdem - 1.2 table hours, ($50). This was at Gaming Club, trying to work off a bonus.
$0.50 NLHE - 0.2 table hours ($15)
MTT at Gaming Club - ($27) Doing fine until QQ went down two hands in a row.
Party Poker SNGs - played 14 of these things, ranging from $30+3 to $5+1. I managed to cash in three. Total loss - ($117). These used to be my bread and butter, too. Instead, I found that even at the $10 level, they are not as soft as they once were. I can't tell you how many of these were 7-headed going into Level 5 or 6, and with Party's format of increasing the blinds every 10 hands, they basically turn into a crapshoot as the blinds become a huge percentage of everyone's stack.

Total weekend loss - ($251)

I don't know what to do anymore. I've tried everything. I've tried playing at micro-limits, I've tried playing SNGs, I've tried playing tournaments, I've tried playing games other than holdem. It doesn't matter where I go, I get beaten badly. I get run down by gutshots, chop hands where I have the nuts on the turn, and generally get outflopped, outdrawn and outplayed.

I'm in the process of consolidating my roll - such as it is - and then I'm going to dump it all in one place. I guess Paradise is the next choice for bonus whoring, but damn it's such a fucking grind that I don't know if I can handle it. I'll have $161 from Gaming Club, $80 from Golden Tiger, $45 at Party (ha!), and $150 or so from Stars. I guess about $400-$450. Put it all in at Paradise, clear the $50 new player bonus, and hopefully by that point I'll have $500. Then I guess I'll install Empire and go for the $100 new player deposit there. Not sure how much it's really worth it though, I feel like I'm never going to get out of this hole, and I may wind up just sinking in deeper as I get beaten over and over and over.

I'm really tempted to pull the plug on the whole thing.
