Heres some more good news. For those who read about me staking a guy for 20 $11 STTs, he just finished his last one and ended up with $104 profit, so for my $220 investment I got $272 back, which was nice. It was also enough to tip my balance back into 4 figures. I'd like to extend it (and so would he), but sanity has prevailed and I realise putting 25-30% of my BR into someone elses hands probably isnt the best move at this stage of my poker career. Still it was fun, he earnt a nice $50 from it and so did I, so happy we gave it a shot .

So my pokerstars goals are done for the time being. I'm now planning to move to Full Tilt and clear their $600 deposit bonus. My plan is to move $900 of my roll onto their and start concentrating on 25NL. I'll leave $100 on stars so I can still mess around with friends and fellow FTRers when the mood strikes. So I withdrew $900 back to Netteller to put onto FT, but found out that only the $500 I initially deposited from netteller clears immediately, the other $400 has to go through a security check that could take up to 3 days. I also got a check withdrawal for the $500 I had temporarily in my account (while the stake played out) which will cover my new monitor and some other tech stuff I bought recently. Means until this extra money clears I only have the $104 or so dollars I have left on stars to mess with.

I've emailed stars support about the Kill everyone book, hopefully its only off the list temporarily.

I've found how to download the videos off FTR onto my harddrive so I can watch them. I can get between 2 and 4 a day downloaded, so I'm spending some free time watching them instead. They vary a bit in quality, but I think some of that is just the spots the people find themselves in. Watching sauces 200NL one now, and its a real standout for quality so far .
