Enjoy more success at PartyPoker?

My poker has definitely taken a turn for the worst of late. Just totally out of the zone whenever I play. Very very donkish. Not playing very often and not concentrating when I do.

Anyway, I'm not here to lambast myself so onto the subject matter.

The blind structure at PartyPoker... seems to go up very fast. Fast blind structure increases variance = more luck (and consequently less skill) required to win = more people win. So *that's* how they can justify the claims on their website!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a bad player and I know that. I'm not complaining about my own performance on the site. Most of the time I go out because of a bad play. Just making an observation.

Also, I'm pretty shocked at the Party Poker rake. They take 20% for sit&gos and don't tell you upfront! For instance, in a $3 tourney with 10 people, the total prizepool is $24.

They'll soon get the money they gave away back with interest with rakes like that.
