thank you sir 
so... i logged in to my stars client.
and...
ZOMG!!!!!!111
their fix was to just REMOVE antarctica like it was nothing. i am seriously, massively disappointed.
i really hope that this is just something temporary while they actually sort out the problem
When we talked on skype I saw that you have Antarctica as your flag there also, but I never imagined you're so into it lol. ♠_confused: Penguins are cool tho, so I support you bro! ♠_cool:
thanks! it seems that the penguins will be disappointed though 
anyway in other news
also good profits in the process! so bottom line: i rule
monthly recap and plans (?) sometime in the next days
ZOMFG fulltilt!!!!11
so well, whatever. i don't even remember how much of a roll i have there
anyway, what do you think that i should do with it? leave something like ~$50-75 and try to rebuild to $300-500 or something with super aggro BRM just4fun?
i think it may be interesting to go through the rush waters again with my new-and-improved knowledge ♦
pokerstars last july vpp happy hour is over. that means "enough poker for this month" ♦
update and monthly recap soon to follow! (..."soon" as in like "the next 24 hours")
all in all, this month was a REALLY MASSIVE SUCCESS. couldn't ask for a lot more!

ZOMG nl25 regs chase gutshots! ohwait...
time for the monthly recap!
i wanted to do this early but i keep sleeping really badly these days (= lazy)
not really a good state for the incoming first NL50 session but whatever i guess
anyway...
goals:
[x] achieve goldstar status retake - forgot how many i got exactly, but done! also this implied a side goal of estabilishing myself on NL25 and that was CRUSHED
[x] ???? - !!!!
[x] PROFIT! - $1144.98 in actual profit, $975.61 in EV, not including rakeback and bonuses
yes, i am as shocked as you 
that's like running like god within running like god.
on for the extras
monthly graph:

cashier:

that's a cute looking bankroll. good enough for even a little runbad at NL50 i guess
so well... let's see how it goes!
august goals:
[ ] achieve platinum status here
[ ] ????
[ ] PROFIT!
should be super ez in terms of just the volume - it's more like "estabilish myself at NL50".
so, wish me luck. some luck is always appreciated when moving up
Great job my antarctican friend, with these money you can resque one penguin!
Actually it's an amazing graph and it seems that your work has paid off very well, I only wish I had that winrate at NL10 ♠_mad:.
I wish you lots of luck @NL50, I'm sure you can crush that too!
The graph looks perfect, how can you do this!?
Anyway congratulations. Good luck at NL50
thanks guys
NL50 didn't go that great, but definitely could be worse
Spoiler
the graph tells a pretty accurate story.
300: OMG WTF
800: these guys are too good
1200: anyone playing this limit is an idiot, there is no value here
1550: okay ♦
i think i ran bad at the beginning. it really looked like i was being soulread, but the thing is that these guys only have like 50 hands on me and they can't really soulread
overall i'm happy with my EV bucks profit. hope to do better today now that i'm more used to the betsizings and stuff
Just play your A game and I'm pretty much sure that you can beat those regs on NL50!
yeah, good point. i'm not sure if i've already managed to find my A-game yet...
like OMG WTF
Spoiler
definitely rigged obv
Well... you didn't complain while you were running super hot last month. Variance is a bitch!!!
in that graph there is also one instance of KK into AA ♦
i mean, bad timing. WHY THAT WHEN I HAVE JUST MOVED UP 
:rage:
Hey bro, don't be scared of those move ups, heard a lot of stories saying that these new limits are not exactly 'tougher', they are just different. You just have to adapt your game, and that obviously takes time (and $$ haha).
Here's another song to cheer you up, quoting the guy above 'to get you in da mood to crush' \o/
yay?
Spoiler
i know it's bad practice to quit while you're ahead but i just need the confidence boost for other days. I CAN WIN!!!11
still i have to whine on one thing - ran KK into AA again! WTF

Spoiler
ALL CAPS
okay, now with that out of the way. lifetime NL50 graph
Spoiler
i have to find some relief in something and... if it wasn't for the two KK into AA i'd be having a profit in EV bucks!
well yeah, whatever i guess. see you later 
oh wait, not yet - thanks for the soundtrack suggestions guys
what i actually chose for the session was this though:
