Just a thought about your bankroll of $532.

Assuming you plan to keep $400 in reserve for 10NL if your shot at 25nl fails, I was wondering would it be better to play 40bb MSS at 25NL giving you 13 buy ins instead of 5?

Have you successfully used the Mid Stack Strategy?
When most poker rooms raised the minimum buy-in so short-stack strategy no longer worked I tried the MSS

I failed horribly.

I'd be interested in hearing from someone who used it successfully -- especially if they're still using it.

Nice result!

Of course!

The best place to post them is in Hand discussions for No Limit (assuming you're playing NLHE cash)
When you post the hand, go over your thought processes up to the point where you have the question.
Don't include your decision or the results in the first post since it affects the way people think about your hand.

Cheers,
VS

Hi devilatoru666,

Did you mean Strategy Points?
Do you play at a tracked site?
If you don't play at any tracked poker sites, you could open an account at a tracked site and play there until you have 100 Strategy Points.

You could also purchase points: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/buy-points/
This is rarely necessary to get Silver Status though -- just normal play on a tracked site should give you silver.

Hope that helped...

At the top of this page, you will see your name, and beside it a number.
Click the number, then "Learn More"
You will go here:
https://www.pokerstrategy.com/poker/tasks/

I thought it might be from that, but perhaps not.
I'll see if any of the other mods has more of a clue than I do.

Cheers,
VS

OK I was wrong, but I do have an answer.
When you create a thread in a Hand Discussion forum you get 5 bonus points.
They need to be proper hand discussion threads though, of course.

You go the 5BP when you created https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?postid=3109297#post3109297
I notice that just the raw hand history was posted.

It is most helpful for other members if you use a "hand converter" to format the hand when you post it.
This one should work for most hand histories:

All the best,

Hi devilatoru666,
You cannot actually delete a post.
If you need one deleted, there is a tiny grey circle icon at the very right-hand side of the post (on the same line as your name).
When you hover the mouse over it, you see "report post to a moderator"
When you click it, you can enter a reason - something like "Please delete my post, I made a mistake"
The mods will get notified, and one of us will usually delete the post.
