so I did make the move to FTP since last month and when the Stars reload bonus came, I couldn't resist and put in $1000 there. I got bored of grinding SNGs towards the midway point of the month and went back to 6 max. I did take shots at NL50 on both sites since I was rolled near 20 buy-ins and it came out pretty bad. I then moved down to NL25 and I feel like I'm running pretty terrible here too. I managed to get breakeven for the last 10k hands, better than a more downwards trend I suppose.

I also did donk around some money on some PLO and FLO/8 games, and HORSE at the 1/2 stakes.

Here's cash games graph:

And for the past couple days I sat down and watched pr1nnyraiding and played a couple HU SNGs.
I took played a couple $10.50s on FTP and I'm doing very well here.
Here's my FTP SNGs results, the 500+ games mark is where I estimated I started playing the HU.

So I realized I pretty much hate PokerStars. Their software is very good but it tilts me for some reason. I think it just looks too boring. I used to hate FTP but I love it now.
So I'm gonna really try and focus on FTP since it doesn't tilt me for whatever reason (except their lack of game filters) and play on Stars solely to get the bonus unlocked. I do need 3500 base FPPs more to earn the $250 bonus.

On another note I did achieve one of my Feb goals which is to hit one of the Iron Man levels for FTP.
I put in the time and hit their Gold level, so once I have enough medals saved up I do plan on taking advantage of it and buying the cash bonuses. It needs 3000 medals for $600, I think I'm getting 140 medals this month. It was pretty easy to get so next month I will definitely try and hit the Iron level by grinding out NL25. Need to earn $200 gross rake per day for 25 days of the month I believe, or just 200 FTPs (I think it's the same though, maybe not?).

So I realized I hate taking 20 buy-in shots cause I feel like I'm underrolled once I lose around 3 buy-ins and it affects me. I'm going to take 30 bi shots at NL50 once I get it, and move down once I lose 10 and regrind it. This should allow me to take a much longer shot at newer levels without letting short term variance get in the way and make me feel like I suck.

Also I'm starting to get the hang of heads up, I'm definitely going to be playing a lot more in March. Just the SNGs for now since I'm not rolled for NL50 hu. I'm going to keep playing at the $10.50 level til I feel really confident and know it's just not a heater, although I'm winning like 75% of the games right now (small sample though I think I've maybe played like 10-20).

Here are my March goals in a nutshell:
-hit Iron Man on FTP
-grind NL25 and hit $1500 then take a shot at NL50.
-maybe take a shot at NL50 hu as well
-play around w/ HU SNGs a little more
-PUT IN MORE TIME
-watch more DC videos
-don't fail another test

The only hands a nit balances in his range are the nuts, the second nuts, and the third nuts.
