Alright so I figured out I'd need about 15000 hands at 25NL this month to get silver status. It's definitely doable and was a plan of mine. However, I just got back my losses from today by playing a SnG. If I go all tournament mode I really doubt I'll get silver. I hate poker
Edit: Since I seem to write short entries I will try to edit a post if there is no comments on it. Here are 2 hands with me playing pretty lag on 2 tables. Both tables had really big fish so I tried to play as many hands as possible with them.
Hand 1: This was vs. an aware opponent in that he really tried to play with me a lot because I assume he thought I was just spewing chips. His stats don't matter really as I know vs. me he wanted every pot and called BS everytime I bet. I was running 37/28/2.7 at the time and had won 7 out of the last 10 pots. This is probably really standard as a tight player with so much FE but I didn't feel as if I had much.

Hand 2: This player never raised pre, vpip of 21. I was running 22/19/7.7 so nothing too loose but maybe a little aggressive. Not sure if he was noticing that though. Anyways, I think by 3 barrelling I can fold out a lot of his 8x hands and also of course fold out some draws that are actually beating me. He's got to raise sometime here right if he has an 8 or something better?
