Last night
Ok, I don't have exact numbers for you but I stuck to my word last night, swallowed my pride, and moved back down to 10c/25c. I just could not justify losing another 10-15% of my bankroll due to bad beats at the 25c/50c level.
So last night I was up and down, didn't hit many flops which was real frustrating (especially after the four hour mark), but ended the session up about $25. This, plus the $75 in Party Poker bonus that I unlocked actually puts me up at Party even through the losing streak of two nights back. I originally deposited $500 to get the max bonus, and now I have $507. Not much in the way of progress, but it is mentally satisfying to have the losses back. I will now stay at 10c/25c until I have $1,200. No shortcuts this time. I'll post the official numbers when I get home later tonight.

side note: Be careful when you play on new sites for the purposes of unlocking a bonus. I found myself not playing my A-game. I was trying to get through X amount of hands as quickly as possible to get the bonus, not playing like I usually do, and it obviously affected my game. I will try to avoid this habit when unlocking the bonuses at the other sites. After all, what good is unlocking the $75 bonus if I lose $100 to do it.
