Hello,
My name is Kristina, 21 year old female poker player from Eastern Europe studying computer science.
I have to decided to set a challenge for myself in which I will start with very few resources and attempt to work my way back to the top.
..::The challenge::.. To start with $50.00 USD in my pokerstars account and run it up as far as I can. I also have 222 FPPs which I will use to play microstake sattelites and farm $T.
For starters I will play 100% of my volume on pokerstars, playing microstake SNG's and as I mentioned above FPP sattelites (potentially some freeroll mtt's aswell). As I progress I will add Micro MTT's.
..::Why am I doing this::..
Boredom, mixing things up, i've always wanted to do something like this.
One of the main excuses I hear from recreational players or not so successful regulars is that "They've never had the roll for it" or "never had that one win to start them off". I hope that if this challenge shows even one person how ridiculous these claims are it will have a positive impact.
I also would like to make some changes to my non-poker schedule and think that combining these 2 changes at once will be positive.
In the case i go bust (i don't think its very likely but i guess it could happen) i will likely just start again at least a couple of times.
Also, as a computer science student i am working on opensource poker software. I don't really want to expose my idea at this moment, however i would really appreciate some help from fellow poker players.
▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ..::My questions is::.. █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁
Do balance amounts over $1000 show up as 1k or exact number in the new pokerstars lobby? I need to know this for the software that i'm developing, because it will be using some scraping techniques and i can't mess this part up. I would really really appreciate if someone would make a screenshot with balance showing more than 1k or more, because i am unable to deposit such amount at this moment. I only need the part which shows the numbers.
Cheers for your interest and let the games begin

oh good another russian/ukranian/bulgarian/whatever making decision support software to cheat people out of money . screen scraping is a pre-requisite to cheating.
i hope you mess this up repeatedly.

Wow, what a welcome. And the stereotypes, no you were wrong about the country and the software. The goal of my software is to help people who have psychological/tilt issues. I'm not going to be scraping anything else but balance. As i mentioned it's going to be free and opensource so theres no way to cheat people out of money.

That's a perfect guise for the real purpose, nicely done.
Yeah lets trust a computer programmer from E. Europe to make poker software with a screen scraper to help other people...sounds promising. I'm wondering where should I send my SSN and credit card number to get "free access"?
