Hey all, just played my first session under my new $500 stake last night, I guess you can say I ran rather well or I was just against a bunch of monkeys at $25 NL last night.. but managed to have basically a 11 buyin upswing in 1900 hands..
Here is also the biggest pot I've ever had at $25 NL on stars, since I don't play much at that limit anyways. Feel free to berate me on how I played the flop set out of position against the bigger stack (i.e., calling short stacks all in instead of raising on flush draw flop, but had a read that this guy loves to raise his big aces to try and protect them at any time) Turns out it is the same exact hand and almost exactly the same # of BB's as my biggest pot I had at $50 NL a week ago! 99 is now my new favorite hand on stars lol.
