Done with Absolute Poker... Hello Stars

I withdrew my roll from Vegas Poker (an AP skin), leaving $500 on for now. Once my last rakeback payment is put into my account I will take the rest out. AP just hasn't given me the sense that they take security matters seriously. I'll leave the door open to play there again but it won't be until they make great strides in security including reimbursing those cheated.

I decided to try Poker Stars. I started with a $300 deposit and used a signup bonus that will give me access to a training site for 6 months without charge once I earn 250 FPP's. I was considering joining PXF and will put that off until after the free subscription runs out.

I started with the $5.50 sng's to get use to the interface and proceeded to lose 12 matches in a row. I then lost one more buy in over my next 8 matches to be stuck $70 after 20 matches playing $5.50 games. Well as you can see from the graph I cashed my next 7 including 4 firsts and 2 2nds to get back above even.
