Pokerstars - Finally Finished Reload Pokerstars Challenge

So, I finally finished my PokerStars World Record Week 25% Reload Deposit Bonus. I deposited $600 to get $150 bonus. I hit the $1600 for $1000 profit but I lost $200 in less then an hour playing headsup NL50. Man was I on tilt, lol. I wanted to win back the money but I was tired and shouldn't have been playing. And my Holdem Manager trial ran out too. I ended up getting $70 back today so I finished the challenge up $872.

Here's a hand I played early in the pokerstars challenge when I was playing $5 headsup tournaments. What is he doing calling a huge check raise on the flop with that hand? All he has is a backdoor straight/flush draw at the very best which gives him 6% chance to hit by river and 0% chance to hit on turn.


I haven't decided if I want to buy Poker tracker 3 or Holdem Manger. I thought for sure Holdem Manger and I was told by some that it has some more advanced stats and I think it looks nicer but one big problem I found was that it doesn't track your opponents until you played a hand whereas Pokertracker tracks the first 30 hands before you sit at a table so you can get an idea of how your opponent plays first and thats huge in cash game (and this is a long sentance:).

Anyway, pokerstars sent me a couple emails:

Dear Mr_Gene_Yuss,

Congratulations! You have fully earned your Deposit Bonus. Your
PokerStars account has been credited in the amount of $150.00.

Thanks for participating in the PokerStars World Record Week 25% Reload Deposit Bonus, and we'll see you at the tables.

And I also received this email

Dear Mr_Gene_Yuss,

PokerStars is pleased to announce the release of two new account security enhancements which will help increase the security of your PokerStars account. We're sending this special email to you because you maintain a significant PokerStars account balance. The two new features are:

RSA Security Token
The RSA Security Token brings the strength and security of two-factor authentication to your PokerStars account, requiring you to have 'something you know' (your PokerStars password and RSA Security PIN) and 'something you have' (your RSA Security Token) to login.

This feature is a very strong defense against key loggers and unauthorized people accessing your account...


Here is a link about the RSA Security Token. I think it totally sucks and why would someone waste 6000FPP points to buy some token that just makes it harder to login every time you want to play some poker! Not cool:)

Anyway, my next challenge will be $2000 profit in 30 days.


Bonuses:
- Free $100 Bankroll at Pokerstars
- 100% Deposit Bonus at Pokerstars
