Default Question for anyone who plays 2/4 (6max) at Crypto

Are the games really that tough? The reason I ask is that in the last few months I have been playing the 2/4 games to get the bonuses and have been getting my butt kicked and I am trying to decide if it is just variance or the games are that tough.

I used to play the 1/2 lb tables at crypto and my bb/100 was over 4.5 (15k hands), I have been playng 2/4 poker stars and my bb is over 4 (5k hands), but at 2/4 crypto tables I am losing to the tune of 2.5bb/100 (7.5). While I am playing the games I don't think they are that tough, but I keep losing consistently. Just wanted to get the opinions of anyone else who plays there and if they really are that tough, I will probably just avoid.
Thanks

small sample. It's just variance.

the 2/4 crypto is beatable. It has more LAGtards than most other sites, but it's still easily beatable.

The thing you want to do is buy in with a lot of money. Then have the nuts or almost the nuts vs some donkey. Raise away and collect. I have had two hands at crypto where I have put my opponent allin after 10+ bets on the river.

On that note:
4-handed Interpoker $2/$4 6-max
Hero has A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the button
Villian is BB and sucks at life

PREFLOP:
folded to Hero who raises, Villian 3-bets, Hero calls

FLOP: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6.5 SB)
Villain Bets, Hero Calls

TURN:K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4.25 BB)
Villian bets, Hero raises, Villian 3-bets, Hero 4-bets, Villian 5-bets, Hero 6-bets, Villian 7-bets, Hero 8-bets, Villian Calls

RIVER: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villian Bets, Hero Raises, Villian calls

Villian shows J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] with a pair of jacks

my verdict is beatable.
