I prefer positive mindset over 'poker mindset'. Au revoir, dollar limit amigos!

We're supposed to make good deeds in life. Here is mine 
Guys, don't play FL, aka Fixed Limit Hold'em. OK, enjoy if you're already into it, but, Guys - DO NOT START your poker career in FL. I know FL supposed to be easy, math correctly calculated way to grab immense money from the Fish. Yes, it might be so even probably a year ago. But now?? Even on the limit of meager 20 cents, you may find tables all filled with Russian, Ukrainian and/or German players trying to make few bucks by luck or rakeback. I REALLY feel sad for most of them 
P.S I'm not talking about funking Stars, but believe me - they're still UNBELIEVABLE 
But now I just have fun with it.
Today I got result I never had before (I checked). My session of 200+ hands ends in 0.00. Yes I had session losing or winning pennies, but this nice result I saw first time in sessions recorded in HM. FYI, they have a special color for it - dull grey. And, though on micro level I'm slightly positive player, these number and color are the best reflection of my poker career. Amen.
Ha-ha-ha, Starz got offended about my 0 rating, and last 2 sessions they decided to prove me that 0 is a great number. And if in yesterday's session there were some doubts, today it was simple methodical killing. Look what happened in just 100 and few hands:
Flop gave me OESD, but all cards same suited. Turn was closing my straight, but strangely enough was 4th same suited card. No more straights.
River gave me 2 pair, because opponent had better one.
Flopped trips, opponent had better kicker.
AQ against AT, Flop AKJ, turn Q.
Couple of times opponents got smaller kicker paired on the river against my higher, but not paired kicker with same A or K.
My second pair, against aggressive opponent's 3rd pair, he got trips on the river.
Battle of blinds - my AA against random hand - which also got trips on the river.
And the masterpiece - raised with JTs, got 2 callers, ideal flop Jx3 with flush draw, turn 3, river 2 closing my long-long-expected flush, the only one in those 2 sessions. Opponent shows 23 
In 100 hands. Exciting or not?
Oh, plus just one hand from yesterday: 5 way pot Hero with T5 suited on BB. Flop 789 rainbow, turn J, river T, and the biggest pot in my session went to guy with KQ.
P.S. Fixed limit is damned. But I'm too lazy to learn anything else
Another session, another loss. I wouldn't write about it if not for 2 reasons.
1. My usual WTS (went to showdown) is around 40%. Today's it's 50.7% and surprisingly winning % (W$SD) was also 50.7, and I still lost almost 20BB. Is it cool or not?
2. There are 2 players that beat me much more (like 2 times +), than biggest amount I got from the unluckiest guy. Both are heavy grinders having negative profit. But against me Stars decided to give them a relief. Today I again played shortly against the leader - spanish negative grinder with -0.3BB/100 on million plus distance. Result: Hero 0 - 5 Villain, and additional many BBs to his sad account. TPTK lost to 2 pairs, and even AQ < QT, because he's got that T. And in previous session I lost to him even more including a lot of hands that he stood worse before flop. Maybe he's hacked my comp, but even in this case he needs consistent help from poker room, and he got it. No, I don't think that Stars are really concerned about our specific match - but still Amazing.
Wow, because of few cruel, but proudly honest hearts, I'm now one of the best pretenders for Worst, or better saying, Top of The Bottom Blog bonus! PokerStrategy, I'm expecting something - if not a material stuff, but at least some positive karma for me on my favorite Starz
