Default I gave it my best shot BBV, but raptor killed the dream.

Down 3k in sngs today, pissed and tired, I had 20,043$ in my account on stars. Is there any other reasonable action then to run the 43$? Obviously not.

1-2NL, shoved 6 hands in a row, till I got called.

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Yuv21 [9h 9d]
MrKillaBee: folds

*** FLOP *** [2h 3h 4h]
*** TURN *** [2h 3h 4h] [8h]
*** RIVER *** [2h 3h 4h 8h] [Ah]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
rSMig: shows [7d 7c] (a flush, Ace high)
Yuv21: shows [9h 9d] (a flush, Ace high - Nine higher)
Yuv21 collected $107 from pot

107$, nl400 time. First hand, I shove over a raise, no go.
Yuv21: posts big blind $4

3rd hand, bingo.

*** SHOW DOWN ***
GASSITT: shows [Jh Jc] (two pair, Jacks and Tens)
Yuv21: shows [5d 5s] (a flush, Ten high)
Yuv21 collected $246 from pot

I sat down at 3-6, but realized i can skip that and go straight to 5-10nl. Yay.

** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Yuv21 [Qs Qc]
egypt1177: calls $10
Yuv21: raises $221 to $231 and is all-in

Thanks for the call, it's time for the big league. I'm a double up away from 25-50NL!

Then raptor came.

I don't have pokertracker here. I can send someone the hands if he wants to make a graph. I don't think the total number of hands was over 50.

It seems that you lack the skill necessary to beat 25/50 and above.

Usually standard pre-flop raises are in the neighborhood of 3-5 times the big blind(Harrington on Holdem). It's probably not a good idea to just push all in every hand.
