Party $200 Reload

So there's a reload at party, BONUSJAN, 20% up to $200. There's something about bonus chasing that just makes my tolerance for pain skyrocket and I just play constantly until they are clear. I cleared this one in the last two days, taking just over 2k hands to put it down. The same thing happened as last time and I finished way up at the end of the bonus withdrawing almost $2300 after a $1000 deposit.

Winning that much money in a day when I have more hands to get in for the week frustrates me sometimes. It's hard to put in hands when you are losing, but it's definitely not easy when you are winning either. With the amount of hands I play, I should clear 1k, maybe $1250 a week. Once I've won that, I feel like I'm done for the week. Unfortunately that's not the way things work, I gotta play the hands every week or my winnings are not going to be what I want them to be. So, I've just gotta push through it and get my 5,000 hands in every week.

Surprisingly, when I was trying to explain this to my non-poker friends they didn't feel sorry for me. Something about complaining about winning a grand in a day just didn't sit right with them. I don't think they understood my point.
