Meh, gonna stick to PS since I know my games. Tried diversifying at 100nl last month too and games feel softer but everything else makes me tilt. Back at it from tomorrow. - that lasted long

playing untracked is +EV for sure but thread quality will suffer...

Yeah difficult to post anything interesting since no graphs or hh. Yeah I got accepted, but I didnt end up taking it. It was a really tough decision for me, but i am really motivated and hungry to get to HSNL and I feel I can do it independently.

Decided to keep updating Meale style with an Excel sheet as I enjoy it. Still tweaking it. Ran the worst iv run in a long time today. Got in KK vs AA, nut flush v set and board paired, JJ vs AK, mid pair + fd + gutter vs top pair no kicker all 100bb+, and about 4 or 5 50bb pots were lost with hands like top top vs middle pair binking two pair. All this happened in about 45min, I dont know how I managed to pull it together in the end. My standard deviation feels like its double to what I was used to on PS. Hoping for a big month and 400nl shots. Gl all this month!

Will keep screen shotting it and not shared likes Meales. Thanks bros, gotta spreadsheet when you cant track properly.


Was meant to put in a full day but only managed 2 hours + 2 hours of study. Feeling something between burnt out and worn out from gf yesterday but will catch up hours over the coming days. Also bought tickets for the Sofia Open ATP Tour next week, Grigor Dimitrov pulled out but I think ill get to see Wawrinka play.

Got back on PS today, done with my random site tour for now. Lost about $500ish today there and won a bit on ps. Even steven for the month. Feels good to have hud/vision and I feel like I understand the stars games whilst half the time I havnt got a fkn clue whats going on on untracked sites. I will definitely diversify again, but maybe when I get to higher stakes. Going to slug it out at 100nl for a couple days to get in the groove of the stars stuff and get back at 200nl and hopefully shot 400nl by end of month.

Played like a nit today too

Tried the same thing as you when I played lower, and got too tilted playing anything other than stars. So weird how all the other softwares is soo much behind stars. And playing without a hud really hurt my volume too bc had too carefully observe every table to find fish and players weaknessess, could only play 3-4 tables max.

Hey bro, good to see you at the tables! Logically we should be able to stomp on those games since there are so many more fish/weaker regs. Maybe it just takes longer to adapt to a new player pool, i dont know. I ran horrid though and my swings on a daily basis were brutal. gl and see you at the tables - and stop trying to bluff the fish

I tend to feel the same playing other sites. Stars really is quite small ball and nitty compared to the alternatives.

Stars has the best regs and the arguably the most educated and "worst" fish. But their software is best and I feel a lot safer leaving $15,000 on stars than I would on any other site

I dont think the regs on the other sites are necessarily worse, they probably have a different skill set/game plan. It is probably just a matter of adapting more than anything. It does feel strange going from PS to a smaller network though, definitely going back there when the roll is bigger.

Had a sweet day, played some 100nl again to get going and might do so for a few more days before 200nl. 3 hour grind, 1.5 hour study, gym, gf time, few CoD games, shopping and washing all done. Day off tomorrow.

    Think that x/r with QT is pretty horrible tbh. Too many turn cards are going to make your hand extremely vulnerable. x/c must be significantly better against anyone.

    Looks like we view things differently

    Think its doing just fine tho, 100nl+

    From memory it likes to raise top pair on boards like this... Someone run it though, think it's actually fine/good.

    Too much strat bros. After some days of thinking things through I took the CFP deal and I will hopefully be at HSNL a lot sooner than working towards it on my own. Pumped for whats to come. I will see what I can update from to time and gl to everyone!

    Lots of study ahead

    You seem to be climbing stakes faster than anyone I've seen, how did you decide CFP was the best option for you? Did you find it hard to find areas to improve or did you hit a little downswing and panicked?
