Default PokerStars FPP Bonus Curse

I have been using my FPP to purchase the $1500 bonus for 100K FPP. I play primarily 1/2 NL full ring. Here are my stats from Pokertracker.

Pre bonus: 250K hands 1.96 BB/ 100
Clear bonus 1: 22K hands (0.81 BB / 100)
Between bonus 1 and 2: 33K hands 1.78 BB / 100
Clear bonus 2: 23K hands (0.97 BB / 100)
Between bonus 2 and 3: 31K hands 4.13 BB / 100
Clear bonus 3: 23K hands (1.08 BB / 100)
Between bonus 3 and 4: 34K hands 1.77 BB / 100
Clear bonus 4: 21K hands (1.01 BB / 100)
Since bonus 4: 16K hands 2.22 BB / 100

Enough to make poor player like me to get a little paranoid.

I definitely believe in this curse. In fact it is truly disgusting and a real waste of a good players time. I just posted someting of my own in the general section. The title is "Typical Pokerstars???" if you want to check it out. And don't tell me that I'm just not a good player I have been destroying the game for the last 15 years.

I wish I was better. Truth is, I am not and never claimed I was really good. I play a low variance game and grind a little $$ when I can. I don't think I am smart enough to get any better. Some of us have low cielings. I am just thankfull mine is above the 0 BB/ 100 mark. I try my best and this is all I am capable of.

Best of luck to you - though I am sure you are awesome and would not need luck anyway.

I've got the same problem with pokerstars... then again it could be because I move up in levels to clear the bonus faster
