Dear Santa: Status Upgrade Wish List

Dear Santa Claus. I'm tired of seeing these ridiculous hands. This year I learned that the long term is really the only thing that matters. The problem is that I learned it so late that I'm going to start the new year without Stack: s_cry: .Pokerstrategy workouts are not useful if I do not have a bank to apply them. The SpinLeyends contract is an abuse. Please. Help me start zeros with a new stack and I promise to bring about 20 players to pokerstrategy for January
Thank you

Darling Santa Claus
I would like to ask you for raising my status on pokerstrategy.com, since I would like to explore the bigger knowledge about the game plan into the poker. I would like to raise my level of the game.
My favourite handing out:

And this smile and forcing to give up AA pre flop... fortunately...

Drogi Święty Mikołaju,
W tym roku zapomniałem napisać listu przed Wigilią i niestety nic nie znalazłem pod choinką :/ Na szczęście dowiedziałem się, że współpracujesz z Pokerstrategy.com i w ten sposób istnieje wciąż szansa, że coś od Ciebie otrzymam. Prosiłbym Cię Święty Mikołaju, o podwyższenie mojego statusu. Pomoże mi to rozwinąć moją pokerową wiedzę, na czym bardzo mi zależy, interesujące mnie produkcje są od złota, więc na pewno wykorzystam podwyższenie statusu do maxsimum i obejrzę możliwie jak najwięcej filmików, robiąc przy tym istotne notatki.
Ulubione rozdanie jakie rozegrałem w tym roku miało miejsce na turnieju live ze znajomymi, amatorami i miłośnikami pokera. Na takim turnieju potrafi się nas zebrać nawet do 100 osób. Turniej organizowany jest przez koło naukowe na AGH. Turniej rozgrywany jest w formacie 6max. Pierwsza ręka turnieju Hero na SB z 77. UTG i EP folds, CO limps, BTN limps, Hero calls, BB check. Flop 227 rainbow, Hero pot size bet, BB calls, CO i BTN folds. T: 8 . Hero bets 3/4 pot BB calls. R: T Hero bets 3/4 pot, BB raises to all in Hero calls. BB shows 2T. Niesamowicie ciekawa ręką i to już w PIERWSZYM rozdaniu turnieju, wyeliminowałem kolegę, który również trafił fulla, nieczęsto zdarzają się takie rzeczy

Dear Santa,
I was a good girl, a very good girl this year. In June I restartet poker after 8 years of complete absence from the tables. I never thought that I could become a winning player again. I have built a nice little bankroll by playing a lot of double of nothing SnGs, paying a lot of rake! I´m a hard working poker player now who wants to build a big fat bankroll, so I´m taking part in the Get Rich or Die Trying Challenge. I play at least 80-100 SnGs per week.

Unfortunately I´m still at the micro limits: There are a lot of fishes who make bad calls and get lucky. Once I lost with a flopped nutflush in diamonds against 82o. Villain flopped bottom pair not even holding a diamond. But I lost!

How? Well, Villain called my all-in at the flop with bottom pair (a pair of deuces), I held the nutflush with A♦ Q♦ beeing happy and looking forward to double up. But turn and river were not on my side: the turn was an 8 and the river another 2 and I busted out of the SnG with the nutflush against runner-runner fullhouse.

But while I was going through a long loosing streak with hands like the one I mentioned, got plenty of bad beats and lost almost every all-in, I kept up my motivation! I focussed on the long run. I didn´t cry and I didn´t tilt. I was focussing on playing my best poker! And I wanna get better and better! I wanna move up and get out of the micros as soon as possible! During the last couple of months I was such a good and hard working girl, studying poker theory and math and I´m attending Collins Sit and Go Crushers coaching every Wednesday!

In order to become a good SnG grindette I need more knowledge and wisdom. That´s my Christmas wish.

With a little status upgrade I could read more of those cool Pokerstrategy articles and attend more coachings. I could learn more in order to become a good poker player and get out of the micros. Please help me!

Best regards
Prim

Dear santa,
I was trying to be really good poker player in 2016 but unfortunately I couldn't learn as much as I wanted to. I tried to gain golden status on pokerstrategy but it seems to be impossibile for me now. I mostly play on pokerstars and I cannot change afiliate to pokerstrategy, so I started to play on 888 and Titanpoker. Because of technical problems Titanpoker doesn't count my strategy points properly so I stucked on silver status... I wold like to gain access to golden status knowledge base (I worked really hard to get one) because I want to be a better player...
Also fixing problem with titanpoker would be an extra present for me.
And Santa - please make such situations happen extremely rare (see below):

Dear Santa,

I tried my best to not tilt this 2016, eventhough I only flopped one straight flush this year and ended up losing...

I still want to learn much more about poker thus I want the status upgrade so I can polish more my skills and still make a living from poker despite of facing such crushing dowswings because I still have a lot of faith in poker, since fish maniacs will never die!
