you'd need to ask support. you've got one free change that you've used, they don't want people to be uploading new potentially offensive avatars every 30 minutes and overloading support.

You can use the more filters section, then go to advanced filters and choose flop bet. Add itt to the applied filters as true. You can choose flop continuation bet made, if you want to see the hands you raised preflop.
Then add two more: saw turn as false and won hand as true. There may be easier way to do this, but this is what i use.

Does the 5/10 rule apply to 3bet pots?
we use the full opponents bet or the extra amount we have to call?

I'm not that familiar with the 5/10 rule but I assume its meant to help beginning players not to call crazy amounts with rather marginal hands, in that way yes it can apply to 3bet pots cause if you invest more then 10% you're committing yourself (not telling you can't get away anymore, you just play a big pot relative to your stack)
Also keep in mind if you do apply the rule you obviously will have to tight up and not call 3% of your stack with the same range to a 2bet.

How many SNGs should I play minimum before I can start to analyse my play and get an understanding of how well I am doing reliably?

From a beginner, to another beginner, as long as it takes until you see improvement. Spikes of improvement are not reliable. I would say a steady consistent progression over a few months.

4bb over large sample size is often considered 'convincingly winning', so it's 'good'.

2bb/100 at 50NL is much better than 10bb/100 at 2NL though.

Only sizing you can change is upen and lower in square you got.
You cannot fill the height of your table up to the size of your screen without your width coming along.

Hi,

i think its a dumb questions or an "every 2days asking people the same thing question".

I'm pretty new at poker and read a lot of forums,blog,books and.. ok may i forgett anything but i read many things.
And the most of these things i think its for not for online playing.

After that i going on pokerstars to play a bit with real money on micro limit stakes, i tried no limit but that was horrible. After a few hours of playing i feel pretty bad. I dont lose money and i dont get money but thats not the point, i really dont know how to get in the substance of poker.
I mean i read often only play aa,kk,qq,jj and aks and play tight when you have one of these cards. All other things doesnt matter. But that can not the only thing in online poker, or is it?

Maybe any player have the same problem when he started and can help me that would be really nice.
(and yeah my english arent good but i hope everybody can understand this >.<)

Thank you

That certainly is not the only thing in poker. I would suggest getting a trial of pokertracker or hold 'em manager, then begin to post hands onto the forums in the micro stakes no limit forum to ask for more specific advice.

You must play a wider range than the top 3% of hands however to be successful because you will get simply run over.

Counterfeit: Basically when your holding is no longer relevant and loses a lot of its immediate strength. E.g. you hold A2 on A265, the river pairs the 6. Any higher AX hand now beats yours. "Your two pair has now been counterfeited"

Their is no word for this in particular other than , suck out or bad beat.
It happens to us all a lot especially in cash games when you know they have an over pair.
It will happen about %20 of the time so when it dose just don't let it affect your psychology and continue playing correctly, Psychology is more important in poker than any other aspect of the game control this and you will be a winner for sure. I doubted the importance of psychology, but after playing for years I've its what separates the professionals from the guys who grind out a small/decent profit.

You really need to be more specific to be honest. For example 180 man sit n gos will have a lot more variance than cash games.

Also the further up you climb in the cash stakes ladder you will notice that you won't have as many players playing all of their hands, due to the increase in skill level.
