Ok, now I have to back up the truck a bit. This is gonna suck.
Because of circumstances, I have to grind out some bucks over the next two weeks. Forget the fun of playing, it's grinding now all the way. I opened 3 tables of 1/2 this afternoon and finished up $130, plus put away over 1/10 of the bonus requirement. Even taking some bad bad beats, I still ran very well. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to play 3 tables of limit poker at one time. Fast and furious. I built my original bankroll this way, but haven't done it in a year and a half. Actually, a lot of fun.
Still hate the site! It crashed on me at one point, coming to a complete halt. Whole place just weirded out. That was right after I'd type that a player named crapooley really lived up to his name, as in, full of crap. The site does not bleep you out. I thought it had maybe given me a time out for language. Weird. That's twice in two days this place just went hay-wire.
Gotta grind out the bonus, but I'm not gonna like it.

When I play a patient and relaxed game I win - that simple.

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Ongame!! It's my most favourite network! Party seems like a rock garden to me with people who make crazy out-of-the-blue plays (means that you have to play sLAG - but that playiing sLAG will make you a tonne); Stars doesn't have regular bonuses...which leaves Ongame! Biggest bonuses and the 3rd biggest network.
Cactus: get over it buddy...you have to adjust to each new network and ongame is no different. Once I made the (quick) adjustment, I've been non-stop crushing the games with no end in sight. Not to mention the effectively BOTTOMLESS bonuses if you jump around the skins (I think I'm on #6 by now...for over 3k in bonus so far I think). Just slow down and lay off of the over-agro tendencies and nut-peddle for a bit until you get a feel for how people play...you can't just jump into a new network and play like you would on another and expect it to work. I wouldn't go to Party with my Ongame game...so why do the opposite?
I'm likely never leaving this network...however! I do dislike the software only in so far as it's a resource HOG. I 8-table on two monitors and it slows down my comp a tonne...but it's a small price to pay for soft games!

I agree the the games are soft. I also agree the it is insanely high variance. My life at Ongame:
