1) tl;dr on the Stars promo (how much money etc?)
2) Jared, you're probably a winner at the 2/4 game, sample size is comparatively small. I would suggest getting a subscription to some training site (I think DC has a bunch of LHE content). Just watching some videos will do a lot for your motivation.
4.17% ROI isn't bad and I think the most important thing is that you played through the rough stretches and grinded each day. I guess all I can say is keep it up 
It comes up as Party if you highlight it via mouse and copy/paste it via CTR C/V for some reason but there's some "copy HH to clipboard" or smth option (where you don't have to highlight the whole HH) and if you use that and paste it it comes up good.
At least it was like that for FTP and flopturnriver. If this makes no sense I can be more precise once I fire up HEM again.

Starting to hate poker again. I guess I shouldn't bitch too much about a 4.17% ROI, but I'm convinced 56% ITM is doable.
Honestly, and I know this is variance, but I felt this weekend like there was some sort of plot to get me to bust in 6th. Anytime we get 6 handed, especially when I had an above average stack, nobody would call a push. I'm obviously playing tight there, but everytime a shorty pushed, everyone would fold. Of course, the first or second time I would push, I'd get snap called by like A4. Maybe my avatar (the noose) inspires the need to spite call me? This was just a very, very frustrating weekend. That being said, if I could make $400 a week, I wouldn't have to worry about paying rent as long as I didn't live too lavishly. So I guess that's a bright spot?
