Is this your new diary?

I've never been able to win money on Stars.

Yesterday, I checked my account and was surprised to find that I had $160 in it. I was about to panic withdraw when curiosity got the better of me, were the games really softer sans Yanks?

In a fit of degeneracy I opened two full ring $1/2 tables, (Would the kidz call them $100 NL tables?) and sat with $80 on each.

I played 750 hands, and I now have $334.24

Was it luck, or does it qualify as crushing?

Do you think it means the games are easier?

I have a little time to spare today, so should I continue the experiment or snap withdraw?     

 

I am afraid you aren't too cool for school.

These tables would be NL200 tables, as the max buyin for them tradationally was $200. It comes from the golden days on party poker, when tables would actually be called NL25,NL50, NL100 etc instead of the size of the blinds.

VPIP= Voluntary put in pot %.

It means how many times you put money in the pot preflop excluding checking your bb as that is not voluntary.

This is expressed as a % and is tracked by software like poker tracker and holdem manager. Just tells how tight or loose a person is preflop.

Haha! Not really Vin. I don't usually write about poker, mainly because when I do, it's not long before I say something daft and embarrass myself.

Er actually, I'm playing $.50/1 tables. I typed it wrong before...

Does that basically mean I don't raise enough or see enough flops?

This is from my current session

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 153 hands and saw flop:
 - 3 out of 19 times while in big blind (15%)
 - 6 out of 21 times while in small blind (28%)
 - 24 out of 113 times in other positions (21%)
 - a total of 33 out of 153 (21%)

Don't know what that means though. (Although I am a bit in front)

Had a decent session last night and going all right in this one.

Already I'm thinking, Wow.... maybe I could do this for a living....

Well, you're still young, have no family commitments, and $3K will be more than enough to give you a roll that can accommodate the downswings and variance.

Do you play croquet?
