Stars makes me want to punch my brain

So I cleared the March party bonus playing $50NL. I went to Stars to try to make a dent in my November signup bonus. I had never played Stars $50 tables. 189 hands later, I cleared a whopping 11 FPP's. Good Lord.

Play 1/2 at Stars when clearing bonuses there, anything below that and it clears way too slow.

100NL isn't too bad, 12-15fpp per table hour.

I just couldn't get over how tight everybody was. I was playing 3 tables and I only had one large hand, where my boat beat another boat. It seemed my 1 hour was filled with $1-$4 pots.

And I've played 6-max NL for too long to go back to tourneys. I built my $50 bankroll up through Stars sng's, but can't bring myself to sit through them anymore. I have the attention span of a gnat.

Play 10/20 limit, you'll get an FPP for every hand with a flop.

Stars has gotten stupidly tight. It's not too hard to find a 2/4 table there with an average pot of $8-$10.

hmmm...some the best 2-4 6max = stars

Eder, be quiet. Everyone listen to harruin.

I'm playing the 5/10 6max on stars to clear the bonus and the tables are much softer than I remember...
