What was interesting in this session is the player to my far left was playing “hunches”. Varying her bet and varying her bonus play.
Guess what?
She was wiped out.

If she’d have just played the bonus for the 5$/hand, she’d have been rolling in it. She was catching a bonus had every other hand. If I have had her cards, I’d have been loaded.
So that brings up the essential question. Are you playing to win the hand or the bonus?
Still don’t have an playing or exit strategy. This time I used the clock (i.e., meet for lunch or meet to go home). There has to be a better way.
Next time:
* Play at a low minimum table.
* Always play the bonus for the full five dollar stake.
* Since we are going to limit our losses, cap the loss (i.e., a “wall” of five soldiers?).
We are seeking a winning streak. A two win streak replaces one soldier. Use the breakage from the first win to advance the line and bonus bet? The commission on a 20$win gives you back a 19$. Increase you line bet and bonus bet by five each? Hole the nine for the next commission. If you win that second bet, you’ll get a full soldier back. If it wasn’t a bonus win, use the extra five to bump the bonus again. It’s all about playing more when you are winning and less when you are losing.
Comments welcome?

That strategy might work. We may have to try a few times online to see how it goes. But the $20 min with $5 bonus is probably best to have some ‘staying power’ (ie, be able to play enough hands to see a swing of luck either way). At $60 minimum, it wouldn’t tkae me too many hands of losses to say I have had enough!
