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.

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)

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?
