You're too sweet guys 
I mean i dont wanna write stuff like "I felt like i played well and also ran pretty good" after basicly every session, so i only wrote this. When i have something important to say, i will. 
Oh and btw, something really worth watching: http://www.pokerstars.tv/poker-video-13149-pcalive-2012-main-event-replay-part-1.html?channel_id=558 . Record of the PCA ME. Really good stuff. Great commentary by Stapleton and Hartigan as always, interesting guests, good action.

You're welcome bro, im glad i could help
Anyway: fuck, fuck, fuckidy fuck. I installed PT4 and it totally fucked up my fucking pc in such a fucking way, that i cant run neither PT3 nor fucking PT4. I have no idea what to do so im probably gonna buy some other tracking software, like i always do when i have problems with that postgre whatever thing. Also, fuck.
So i havent fixed my PTx yet, and with my super limited pc skills its not exactly likely i will ever fix it. So atm im playing zoom NL2, doing a little 100% vpip challenge ♦ It's a lot of fun, even if sometimes i have to call of a shove with 72o or shit like that. Will probably do some kind of rule change to the challenge, so i dont have to call shoves with atc..
In case you wondered, those weird 100bb openjams are a small pair at best, people turn over hands like 98o or even worse very often.
Im thinking about switching to zoom fulltime. Played decent amount of hands (mostly PLO though) in last couple of weeks and loved it. It would also make it a lot more easier to make SN this year, which is definitely something to consider. I will play first NL25 zoom session tomorrow (only played NL5/10 and PL2 so far), and then we will see.
And there's a gif hand after a while, probably first non-spewy gif hand i made ♦

It's not that bad at PLO2 i can tell you that. ♦
Anyway, i'm gonna like zoom i guess:
People are just so bad.. Some are hero calling with anything, some are bluffing in hopeless spots and some just randomly donking around.. My kind of game.
Had two big hands in the end, JJ<AA vs a random midstack donk who minraised pre and the other was a classic set vs. oesd situation, that i lost too. So i just quit, didnt want to tilt away some more money.

So i played my first ever NL50 session and it went really well. I honestly feel a lot more comfortable playing NL50 than NL25, god knows why though. Obv i need to get used to playing for twice as much money as NL25, but that wont be a problem i think. Finished the session up about 60 bones, my PT3 didnt track one big hand where i overplayed 99 vs. what i thought was an aggro player on super draw heavy jack-hi flop.. And i need to learn to slowplay from time to time, like raising top set on the least drawy board ever isnt good.. 
Also, idk if i posted it here or not, i'm not playing zoom anymore.. The reason is that i kind of cant get myself to stop playing. When i drop 5 bis in reg cg, i quit pretty much instantly. While dropping 10bis in zoom/rush just doesnt really feel bad at all, im like "oh well, you'll just fold 200 hands, get aces and cooler someone, no problem". So that would be it for zoom/rush, overall im down about $600 in this format. Hope you guys spent it on hookers, blow and coke and not on coaching vids (unless it was porn)!
So, obv as i moved up stakes, i won my new biggest pot:

Thanks bro, i will
Anyway, any thoughts about this hand?
Villain was a 21/18/10 Spanish, seemed solid at the time, but apparently he's down like 6 grand lifetime on Stars so he's probably not that solid..
