10-play $.25 jb would have handily seen you through your DIAD play in 6-7 hrs, with nominal risk, relative to $5 single line. There are other options, detailed in vpFREE2 that might have suited your purposes as well.
You're welcome to make your own call re the quality of feedback available on this group and elsewhere. Personally, i'm satisfied that there is a treasure trove that can be gleaned when a reasoned mind is applied.
On the other hand, it's not entirely uncommon that the group occasionally encounters someone who thinks most everyone else is full of crap. It can be expected that they come away from the experience with commensurate value.

Bear in mind that 10 years or so ago, I was likely less informed than you are now -- the information I've gleaned Since has predominantly been a direct or indirect consequence of group participation.

Or the ACH VP player that always tries to give you the wrong info or starts chain smoking when he knows it bothers you but never seems to smoke otherwise.

There are plays and promotions that you just have to be boots on the ground to see or figure out. These forum are great but I think I will have to find the yellow brick road on my own

My gut reaction (from 15 years of play) would be that a 6% cap would cover 60% of 2000 hand sessions, with 10% loss experience hardly being an outlier (20% would be an outlier, but not unheard of).

I would suggest that a something such as a multiplay $.25 machine (or perhaps 3-play $1) machine would be much more apt, in terms of bankroll risk. These are available in several venues.

I am not the only guilty of that. I also had an idea of trying to make up that lost EV at a invitation only multiplier event.
