*** 26/07/08 Update***

So while I am still plugging away at the 2+2 team challenge I have now moved up to NL 50 for good. I wont be moving down as I am now even rolled for NL 100 but I am going to play awhile at NL 50 before moving up. IT's been going well so far, played 8k on stars so far an I am running at 3.93pt/BB which inst bad. I have been running quite well but also spewing off in some spots.

I am currently playing on stars trying to clear the $240 deposit bonus they offered for the WCOOP. I managed to make goldstar so far and I will make platinum next month. After that I am still unsure what to do, if I should stay on stars or switch back to Ipoker. Surpisinly the tables on stars are alot loser then ipoker, probaly due to the rake races on ipoker.

Anyway here's some of the hands I lost from life at NL 50 on the stars! Some of them are spew, but it's taken me a bit to find my feet. In the last hand I thought I hit my boat on the river, lol misreadboardaments.
