Winning account on Stars

It's time for an update again. This week I decide to try to play some poker on stars. Because I bought an extra screen I can now easily 8-table and Pokerstars is THE place to multi-table. The software is excellent, you have a timebank and are allowed to open up 12 tables at once.

Because I didn't have any data on the players there and also no experience 8-tabling I just started at NL100. And it's just amazing how many nice hands you get in one hour when 8-tabling. On average I played 750 hands per hour on Stars. This means that you get QQ/KK or AA once every 6 minutes! So you constantly have the feeling that you're running hot.

While I thought that I was running good on Party with 14 PTB/100 over 7,000 hands. On stars its even better with 16 PTBB/100 over 4,500 hands. The sample size is pretty small offcourse but it feels like I'm printing money at the moment. Because the big difference is in the multi-table ratio which is 2 times higher then at party, my hourly rate at Stars is $192. in comparison with $100 at Party (only on NL100).

I'm still in doubt what to do the next weeks. I'm way overrolled for NL100 (222 but-ins at the moment...), but as long as my winrate stays above 10 I'm earning at least $150 an hour with no stress and very little variance (% of BR wise).
So I might try to reach my goal (25K) here and then after my week off I will re-evaluate. I know it sounds nitty, and I will move up to NL400 again soon, but it's just to easy money at the moment.

I'm just gonna post some random big hands (mostly standard hands):
