Default Paradise Poker - 0.25/0.50 LHE vs 0.50/1.00 LHE

Okay, so i have this bonus thingy i am trying to clear and i need to play 1k raked hands on Paradise, so i decided to start playing 0.25/0.50 LHE with a 100$ (I know thats slightly low bankroll, but i do have more on other sites), but as of now only 1 in 4 hands or so is being counted as "raked" (0.25 or more rake). Even 3-tabling this is taking forever to clear and im only up to about 100 of the 1k hands in a few hours of playing. I am doing fairly well and am up to about 130$ and was wondering what the 0.50/1.00 LHE is like at Paradise, and if you think i can maintain at least break even there if im doing alright at 0.25/0.50 (and yes i know, 500 or so hands is not enough to tell). At least if i was playing 0.50/1.00, every 2nd hand would be counted as raked and the process would go much faster. The only good thing to this is it has been giving me more experience playing LHE and its not like im losing money, so even without the bonus it is still profitable. Anyway, basicly im just asking if you think 0.50/1.00 would be any tougher than 0.25/0.50, and if a 150$ on the site would be alright for it, even on the low end of the recommendations.

Do you ever play limit O8B? I play 50c/$1 there and have had VERY good luck with that for clearing bonuses. Typical buyin for that is $20 at that site. If you know how to play that game it might be a good way to clear it.

VERY hard to clear bonuses there at 25c/50c

Good Luck

i havent played much omaha but when i have there seems to be alot of people in the pot which makes for more raked hands. so as blib was saying, omaha sounds like a very smart way to clear bonuses.
