Rush Reg goes Pokerstars!?!?

I am on a nasty downswing myself, so your last graph made me feel so much better... made me realise that I am not the only one with bad luck out there

I am not going to wish you luck, because you don't really need it, I will wish for you the same thing I wish for myself - no bad luck

Challenge Update nr.9

Hi!

As you know I've been grinding on NL100 again since my NL200 disaster, and I'm proud to say that I'm moving up to 200. Again.
I've been running really good on NL100 and I had a 1K day and today a 1.1K day! ♠_biggrin:

The mistake I made last time was more bankroll-wise. I should have moved down when I lost 5BI like the Stairway to the High Stakes said, but I was stubborn and lost 15BI.
So now I'm going to keep myself to that rule, should I need to move down which I don't hope, but it's not up to me how I run.

Here is the (hopefully) completed graph of NL100, lets hope I don't have to look back again:):

I don't really know why my stats on NL200 are so much tighter compared to NL100, it could be variance by just not getting alot of good hands, or maybe I don't open as much because there are more aggressive regs to my left more often. I didn't really make a conscious decision to play tighter, it just happened.
My style doesn't really have a standard range of hands I open in different positions, it all depends on who's left to act behind me.
Anyway I'll just see how my stats develop over a longer period.

The Stairway

Time to grind for 8 hours now hehehehe next update when I reach 100K hands! ♠_biggrin:

Keep up the good work. I hope you learn a lot on NL 200 and beat it!

Hi, congratulations on your overall success! Today I became your fan – you have truly inspired me in so many ways that I have difficulty expressing it completely.

Is your pokerstars account tracked to pokerstars? (just asking because you're a diamond member, yet still I'd guess that you were tracked to FTP before Black Friday and thus should not, theoretically, be able to receive S-points for playing on stars, right?)

Oh, and I too am a victim of FTP. Lost nearly 2k that day. Good news today, though, huh?

Update? Still on the same step of the stairway?

lol I <3 the stairway to highstakes pics. nice thread
