Today I stopped being a BronzeStar and improved my PokerStars status to SilverStar:

My goal for this upcoming month is to stay as a SilverStar and depending on how I do on June, I may set my goal for July to improve to GoldStar.

Tournament tips thanks to nusthot2

In the past 2 days I've been railing nutshot2 in his PS tournaments (in which he has achieved at least 3 Final Tables) and have learned a lot of important things that can help my tournament play. I've also known and practice the importance of raising preflop. Even if you don't have a hand, but you raise preflop, and If you bet the flop and your opponent didn't flop anything, even when you have aboslutely crap, they will fold. Sometimes things don't go well thanks to pokerstars, like in this hand:

what part of PRACTICING PREFLOP RAISING didnt you understand devon? Im not trying to win every hand with crap, I'm just studying, watching/observing player tendencies when they are raised preflop...
