So, I decided to open a PokerStars account. I've never had one before, so I took advantage of a promotion from Pokersourceonline.com to get an annual subscription to StoxPoker. I'm really trying to get better and feel that playing tougher competition and joining a site like Stox will greatly benefit me.
I need 250 FPPs to complete the bonus and I picked up 47 in 2 hours tonight. I was able to get in 390 hands in 2 hours on PS, where I usually get in 300 in the same time frame on Bodog. I really like the software and I can definitely see where people can play so many tables at once on this site. I think I'll keep some money on Stars even after I finish the bonus.
I was actually doing really well tonight and was up 3 buyins at 25NL when this hand came up.

If bad players couldn't suck out, then eventually there'd only be a bunch of sharks swimming around trying to take each other's rolls. I was in the process of exiting tables, so I just took my 1 buyin win and checked out for the night. I'll definitely be back!
