Good and Bad

Well...I am starting to crush the $5/$10 games on party, but the MTT have been kind of frustrating. I have cashed in 4 tourneys in a row that had over 1000 people, but once we get down to around 40 people or lower, I seem to get hit with some really bad beats.

Here is an example from tonight.

Blinds-Antes(2000/4000-100)
I am sitting in the BB with 23812. Guy UTG raises to 12000, it is folded around to me and I push, well he has to call and does. He has AQs.

** Dealing Flop ** [ Td, Kh, 2c ]
** Dealing Turn ** [ 5c ]
** Dealing River ** [ Jc ] GG...me

Gus64 shows [ Qd, Ad ] a straight, ten to ace.
siberianex shows [ Ah, As ] a pair of aces.

Well thats my rant for the night, until next time...

I've decided to put in a lot of effort into learning limit. I'm starting at 5/10, and am playing on FT. I decided to start at FT for two reasons:

1) my roll can afford it if I begin loser, though I haven't

2) playing at 2/4 just makes my head hurt.

It's interesting. I'm playing winner, but I'm learning on the go. If I keep putting in about half an hour to an hour daily on a couple tables, I know I'll be a big winner before too long. I know that isn't a whole lot of time, but I think it's just enough to keep me excited to learn the game and avoid discouragement.

erm, that was supposed to be "I decided to start at 5/10 for two reasons:" I'm also playing six handed, because I'm all about action action action.

I'm playing FT because they had another reload bonus I can work off.

Why Party for you? Is the quality of play that poor? I know their rake is higher than anywhere else.

Jason,

Party is where I have most of my roll. What is the rake on Tilt?
Do you use rakeback, if so what site?
