Hi Rahx,
How do you find the NL100 tables in Pstars for SSS'er?

Clear all
good luck on Stars sir!
Be aware that on 100NL FR there are some idiots setmining against you. it can be pretty annoying 
I think it could be with the advanced reraise charts and table selection, altough you will probably have troubles tableselcting without a datebase.
There are some people on this forum that play profitably without stats, just notes, but I'm not capable of that so not the right person to give a opinion.

Not many things going on lately. I had very little time for poker in the last week, was away for the weekend, so I managed to take the break many of you advised me to do. I just played a little some days for Iron man. My game wasn't really sharp and I made many mistakes I don't usually do, so all in all it was pretty breakeven instead of a couple stacks up.
I will really need to get in the feel of things as soon as possible since by being clumsy I loose the little edge I have on the tables. My volume will probably suck a lot in the next months beacuse of school/work/other things to do, hopefully I'll benefit a little from taking my focus off for the time being.

Hi fun101rockets
I am playing without HUD, stats, from my beginning, so i can say is profitable, but not so much as with stats probably, but you have to have quality notes on regulars and fishes that is a fact, and also is good that you have at least PT, Elephant, or HoldeMM to take a look on your progress and EV line etc.Anway accordign my experiencess is very good that you have a feeling to observe well your tables, to spot a fish which you can spot also without the stats. According basic SSS on NL100 without stats i think you have to adjust your stealing/restealing range a little bit, if you play basic SSS your preflop play will be arround 7-8%, if you advance you will play with 9-11% peflop what i think is suitable to play profitable on NL100. Also what is good to learn is your postflop play. All this together will make your play profitable on NL100.

Yesterday another catastrophic session on Full Tilt, my overpair never held, got kicked in the nuts by 2 and 3 outers. Session ended +50 EV and -170$ in real winnings. EV is still lying a little since I put my money while drawing dead a couple of times on turn after I was 80% ahead on flop. Not much you can really do.
I'm down almost 500$ this month, luckily some of it is returned by rakeback. Winning sessions are just a couple lately and I never win any big sum. At least I'm much calmer now and it doesn't really bother me when away from the table. I still have 70 BI on Full tilt and next month is time for the Ironman 300$ bonus. If that will not be enough for putting me out of troubles so be it, it would mean poker is not the right thing for me. I'm still withdrawing 500 these days, since if I would just loose everything it would probably anger me a lot more, this way at least it wouldn't feel as a waste.
I played a couple of sessions on Pokerstars these days, it's going kinda average. The play really seems much more different than on FT, lots of nits, multitabling regulars. For now I'm feeling pretty confident on that kind of tables, maybe it'll get harder when people get more hands on me.
I also didn't get used to the software yet as is unclear, table selection sucks in regards to full tilt. Also no potsize and all in button. WTF???? They instead decided is more important to give you the fold button available even when it costs nothing to call. Another thing that bothers me is that is sometimes really hard to see the players still in the hand since their cards are so small. And why do I need to choose a seat if it's the only available? And why the new table opening popup blocks everything so you can't do more pressing matters first? And the table distribution is such I don't have enough place to distribute my stats.
Well enough rambling, cya guys 
Hey man, having a little troube with PStars' software eh? Haha, I hadn't even noticed these problems, since I used to play on Party and Everestt before and I like the Stars' software better than both.
Regarding the table distribution, for multitabling I think you'll have to fix each table manually so you can have them on a decent size for fitting lots of tables on your screen while being able to see the stats. But you'll only have to do it once and Poker Stars will remember your table distribution. Maybe you've realised that already ♦
Anyway, don't let your downer get to you. Think positive, turn it into some motivation for imrpoving!
Best of luck and may better comes come - for both of us! Peace.
Thanks for the reply.
It's not the size itself that bothers me that much is more the disposition of the elements which has too much space in some places and none on the others.

Yesterday it was a really great day overall. First I got a text message from my university that the evening lectures are getting rescheduled so I got an unexpected free evening.
First I played a session on Pokerstars which was 3BI positive. Then I chatted with Dandycal and watched him play, which was also very nice. We discussed about the differences between Stars and Tilt, blind battles and regulars and ways to abuse them.
Then later I finally had the session with Raun, the midstakes SSS killer. I played 4-6 tables on Full Tilt and we had a pretty long and at least for me informative chat. It's really interesting, how when you see a very succesfull player you think he's doing some really special moves and incredible plays. Then you actually discuss with them and find out they just think much more detailed. The answer is not in what strategy or style is profitable, but what's the level of playing the strategy. Things like, why haven't you bet 2 blinds more on the river, or what do you think about your image on this table while deciding to do an UTG raise with a marginal hand.
It was pretty reassuring to see we think the same way in many spots and I also found out that I have dropped my agression level lately, which is probably caused by lack of confidence because of my downswing. Another thing I'm intrigued with is that he's playing on Cake without stats, which seems to have really honed his observation skills a field in which I lack severly.
As a nice bonus the session finished 5BI up, which is something really unusual for me lately on Full Tilt.
Today and tommorow probably almost no time to play. Today we go to a club in Ljubljana to watch electro music legend David Caretta. My girlfriend is talking only about that for the last two weeks Hopefully it will be as good as in the old times since many friends are coming. We are probably going to crush the danceflor. If any Pokerstrategist is coming write a message so we can drink something togheter.
I wish a nice weekend to everyone.
This month
And NL100 overall
Maybe I should just cashout what remains of my bankroll. Really don't know what to do. It's like playing against people who know the next card of the deck. They don't just call with crap, they snap call and then I just look at the turn card and I'm dead. I feel like an idiot.
is that sklansky bucks? and you know a lot of people say the PT§ EV line is bugged, right?

Don't worry I felt each one of the badbeats pretty well that I'm sure the line is at least closely right.
Damn, mate... those last 40k hands are just sick. 
About the playing - I've come to the same conclusion as you. I've been putting way too much volume and by far not enough learning in poker since I moved to FTP. That's why my bankroll has grown mainly because of the FDP and RB. That's why I'm going down to 3 tabling which will allow me more time for observation and decision making and (re)reading the articles before every session. I will focus on winnings as little as possible (we all know how nice it feels to peak at bankroll from time to time) and always try to play my A game. I think (blah, not that I think, I know... 
) this will be EV+ in the long term and EV(enjoyment value)- in the short term, but it's just something I have to do if I want to beat 0,5/1.
Good luck with your game and don't give up. You know you're better than all the fish! ♠_cool:
