i started in may playing NL10 with a 250$ bankroll and now im grinding FR 14 table on stars mixing NL25 / NL16. took early shots at NL50 and lost big and now im hoping to hit NL50 by mid august again and take shots at late SN. i have around 800$ on stars but can always deposit if i go bust. hoping for otherwise though.
can i post threadsavers or will PS close the thread because of fear of underage pix of girls in the forums?

Great to hear a success story!
Like you, I worked my way up to shots at NL 50, but I've been busted back to NL 4.
As for "thread savers", it is probably a good idea to read the forum principles and keep within those fairly reasonable limits. Also keep decency and copyright in mind.
I cannot of course speak for other mods, "Decency" and "tasteful" are up to individual decisions, however if you are reasonable, most mods are too ♠_cool:
i understand. feel free to warn me if it gets too nasty ♦
also how can i resize my threadsavers? cant seem to do that with the imageuploader i chose :/
Hi, Phgrinder,
I use a totally free image viewer called IrfanView.
It can do basic image editing as well including resize/resample.
I think some image hosting sites allow resizing, too.
I think that imageshack is one that does.
If you make the image bigger, however there will be some quality loss.

played a 2 hour session and ran really horrible on 1 table vs the same guy. got stacked by the whale 3 times :/
given my notes on the guy and his stats 45/26/29 VPIP/PFR/fold to 3bet..
this is pretty disgusting.
-c/c flop w/ mini flush and c/r for stacks on turn after hitting
-likes to min raise alot in LP and cbet almost 100% on anyboard
-min raise EP and called a 3bet w/ TJo
-does not like to fold to a lot of 3bets even oop

how can a whale have those??
good thing is i was able to grind it back and close the session with a small loss of 6$. i got to get used to this if i want to get a shot at supernova next year. volume = mass bad beats. been watching a lot of videos from schnitz and the finding your A game series. its been really helpful.
internets acting up again. i can hardly play when im in the office or at home. plus the fact that im currently unmotivated to play (trying to fix this) means very little volume for the first few days of july.
currently roll on stars is 1020 + 22T$
also have a backup roll of 1,400 which i placed on an investment instrument. im not touching my backuproll unless i go bust, thats why i decided to invest them instead of letting them rot in the back with very minimal gains.
been deliberating if i should move up and take shots at NL50 when roll reaches 1,500 or i wait until i get 1,500 up and have a winning rate at NL25 after 100k hands. i can probably do 100k hands by this month if i got motivated.
just found this site. if sharing this link on my blog wont attract interest then i will conclude that 100% of the population here hate women 
http://www.ilovesexygirls.com/
been really lazy, have been watching a lot of videos instead to make put use of my time since in not in the grinding mood. ive played less than 5k hands so far. have a couple of interesting hand histories ill be posting soon
Finding Your A-Game - this is a must watch for me right now.
stars bankroll is at 1070+ ish

played a more than 4hours today. was really in the grinidng mood but stars decided to fuck me up with their stupid RNG. ran into the top of everyones range. so crazy i decided to tilt 2 stacks away :/ pretty meh... month now is at around 10k hands and -250$ and roll is back to 700$
will try to grind it up again. im hoping to hit a heater soon and be a NL50 reg by mid august / early september. nothing to do but plug away at the leaks and just play my A-GAME for now
