... since I got my PT working I will be posting a lot of hands, hope you don't mind - it's good to get input on my game
not at all... just before you go post all of them, for future reference... what limit are you playing?
and is it turbo or regular?
I play turbos and since I'm on a quite big loosing streak atm I play the lowest possible on Stars 3+40
ok
damn, >10% rake! definitely beatable though, i guess.
hate the variance in sng though 
winrate/edge (at the lower limits) is just too nice though.
I f*** up my bankroll by playing 150$(or even more I don't know) worth of EPT Step qualifiers, I hope I can crawl out of this hole. I was already on 500$ now I'm back to under a 100$.
And I can't earn StrategyPoints from now on since I moved to Stars. Didn't like the turbos on Mansion only 3mins(luck factor gets way too high imo)
it also seems the mansion sng players are slightly better, in that the lower limit players roughly understand ICM (very poorly). otherwise, the 3min is actually bearable.
that downswing sucks... i think there was a thread somewhere that heavily advised against playing STEPS qualifiers (anywhere, this one focused on partypoker ones)
why can't you earn strategypoints? you had already created your Stars account before you joined pokerstrategy?
anyway... all is not lost.. i'm sure you've learnt your lesson, and i'm also sure that the experience and skills gained in that 100$->500$->100$ period far outweighs the 400$ bankroll loss
I quess im a slow learner I have had 3 swings like this already, but this time I have a feeling I know what to do and what not to do, def not to play steps or limits over my BR.
Yes I was a member of Stars before PS, I hope in the future retracking becomes possible
