Yep - You can even cash out $1 or possibly even less on stars.

Evening update, since i slept well today and have been feeling fresh all day, so I decided to put in another minisession.
570 hands
BR: +13
01-23-2010 , 11:17 PM
I think it's a $100 min on stars now. Two years ago my friend cashed out $88, but not sure if they still let us go that low.

I played some Rush on FT a few days ago and it left me wanting to play some FRNL when I get some time. Today I opened up stars to grind some FR and the session was kind of meh. Towards the end of my session I opened up FTP to see if that site likes me more than stars does.



Can you see where I left stars and started FTP?

10nl 6max btw
Gotta love Rush+running good!

Br at: $175

Depends on which method you deposited - I just tried then and I could withdraw $1 to neteller.
01-23-2010 , 11:46 PM
Just cashed out $90 for HM

Oyeah I never deposited on Stars so idk wat the min is
01-23-2010 , 11:55 PM
I think it depends on your method. I can withdraw $10min straight into my bank account.

BR: 360. (Was at 375 or 380 at one point )

Thoughts? I had villian marked as fishy, but I had been in lots of pots with him and very aggro so was expecting him to play back at me. Small bet on river was hoping to get called by any pair basically.

Fold, Most likely slow playing Kx but could show up with 33/88/99.

Just played 414 hands on PS @ 5NL FR. I finished at 28.72ptbb/100 9 tabling, so that was fun. There was two guys just playing back at each other on one table, and they were talking crap to each other in the chat box. There was a raise, a 3bet, then a min raise 4bet, and I was sitting in the BB with AA so I just shoved All In and got called by the original min raiser who had AKo (he only had like $3.50 in his stack) and I stacked him an picked up about $6 profit form that hand. I also got a little over 11 vpps from them 414 hands, which is a lot for 5NL.

EDIT: The guys who 3bet & 4bet were the two idiots playing back at each other. The one dude went from $10 down to $2.16 in less than 50 hands just getting out of control.
01-24-2010 , 01:13 AM
BR: 350 again.

So went no where for the day. No more poker for me today then. Was down lil over half a buy in because of just cold deck and them hitting flops and c/bets never getting through. Win a few pots and nearly back to even. BvB in 3B pot and I'm BB. Q83 flop, get c/r on turn and my aces are cracked by 88.
01-24-2010 , 01:29 AM
So, after a big losing session I came back and made it to my first $100.



Still all NL10.
Oh, and 300bb deep vs. a 70/12 fish is FUNNNN

Just came off a +4bi session, after being break even for a while. Bank roll at 187 with a 10 dollar bonus in 7 fpp's. 10nl here i come! One of my last hands in my session. Villian was pretty tilted after losing a flip to me, I had a feeling he would call the river regardless of the bet size. I just figured he would show up with something better. I misclicked turn bet size fyi.

Hey everyone,

I know I am late getting into this thread but here it is for my goal for this yr.

BR: $60 Start - Currently $190
Site: Stars

I initially started grinding the 3.40 18 and 45 man sngs and have since switched to the 6.50 6 mans. I am operating on a 40 buy in minimum for the 18/45 man and a 25 buy in min for the 6 mans

I am pushing for silverstar this week. I am 350 vpps off and collecting 35-55 a day. Hoping I can make it. I am going to run up my br as high as i can get it hope to be stepping up to the $13 6 mans in a few weeks.
01-24-2010 , 02:45 AM
So I'm about 300VPP from making platinum star but i'm moving back to FTP. Kinda stupid to move now based on my decision but I'm going to see if I can build a bankroll from $25 on FTP. I became hyper aggressive and loose at 100NL. I withdrew a large amount from Stars and almost busted the rest. I'm not gonna be doin the rush poker thing, I'll be 6 tabling.

See yall around, time to go down a few brewskis

Bankroll $3000---> $25

I can crush Stars micro stakes but I tried to beat 2NL at FTP a year ago and lost lol.

Bleh. Didnt unlock my stellar reward. Didn't have any hands. Knew the downswing was coming so not really bummed. Basically lost a buy-in bad cbets, blinds and whiffing on flops. Missed every flush draw too

From +$30 for the day to -$10. Don't make brag posts ever. I think it puts me up slightly over the weekend now. But being at $340 sucks when I was at $380 a few hours ago.

I'm beating 10NL for a little under 7BB/100 over 10k now I think. But I'm definitely running worse and getting coolered a bit more. Small sample though so nothing to do but keep trying when I'm playing well.
01-24-2010 , 07:34 AM
Me again...

BR: 355.

Shipped a winning session to put my up a grand total of $4 for the day. I was saying I should quit now (up $25 in the session) then I got set of 5s beat my top two. I basically hate getting my stack in ever now without straight/flush.

Do you get away from any of these? All winners were reggish for 10NL.

I think I should have shoved over BB all in. Then folded to BTNs shove. Realistically one of them should have TPTK beat (looking at you BTN) since there are no draws, but I could just be results oriented.... This was in my session where I was tired and annoyed at previous sessions and already had a defeatist attitude going in, great time to be playing poker.

I think this is another "oh not again" awesome pot odds so I call when I'm never good hand. I don't think AK is shoving here ever. Worse two pair enough of the time to justify call when BDFD and gutshot hit?




As you can see, lost a fair amount just to sets today so trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong or if this is just standard variance.

Hey guys great thread, ive been reading it for a while but now want to get involved.
I currently play a mix of 8 tables of 10nl or 4tables of 25nl.
Bankroll currently $680.
Would like to make the step up to consistantly beat the 25nl games in the near future.



GL at the tables all!
