So Poker Stars is celebrating their road to 100 billion hands and well you can win a ton of money if you’re in one of those milestone hands! Tempting right? It’s down right maddening!!! Even though I haven’t hit a milestone hand, today I had a few milestones of my own. First, not only did I play one long ass session, non-stop for 10 hours straight, it was cash for 10 hours straight… I am a tournament/sng player…Today was the very first time that I’ve ever played 8+ hours straight (and it not be due to a tournament I was deep in) and in cash.
I was very happy about this because it proved to myself that I could do it, if this were to ever become a career one day (not saying I’m going down that route, but you never know) and I showed a profit, and collected a good handful of VPP/FPPs since I am grinding for my bonus and silver star status. I have never had silver star status because up until now I didn’t play as a really serious player. This year, as stated in previous blog entries, is different. This is the year I began as a serious poker player and as such I must obtain more volume, start working on my rake back. Rake back through stars unique system is something I had never previously looked into, but you can make some serious cash back if you put in the volume and are serious about your game. If you obtain supernova elite (not saying that I will this year, that’s wayyy down the road) you can pocket over 100k!!!
Anyhow, we haven’t reached the 60th billionth hand yet, so I am still hopeful. Tomorrow (today, its late in the a.m) is Poker Stars “Storm” tournament. Its replacing the old quarter mill, which the info can be found here:
Dear Poker Gods...Please give me the power of GreySkull Run good for this!

All in all, I love Poker Stars. I play there exclusively and there is so much coming up that I am going to be busy in my poker career for months ahead!
Stay Tuned…
