Why did I play on Stars ever? -.-

what do you mean? what site is it?

Merge

There is more and bigger fish/table and you play the same regs all the time, so you can actually get history find their leaks and own them, not like at stars where I have 1k+ hands on 3 people max

don't get confused by the first impression or you have been playing for a while there?

Yeah I was playing through Melanie's site before the huge betrayal

But all tables at NL25-50 are some 40% players/flop on average against some 25 on Stars, and usually its driven by 1-2 massive fish like this one.

And the reg thing I am almost 100% positive, I 4table and had the same regs on 2 tables at least, that's almost more important than the fish for actually learning the game

The backdrop is getting used to the software obviously and you can't really masstable. But that's not really bad for me.
Oh and shorties, there are shorties semi-regs which might become an issue at NL100+

i felt exactly the same way when i left stars, and still do to this day.

Writing Essays of notes now actually makes sense

should try to take concise notes so you don't have to rethink through an entire hand when you go to look at your notes

this is something i struggle with

I split them into PF, 3BET and Postflop, and on people I have a ton of reads on they are either huge fish and its worth reading all of them as they are so imbalanced and will just repeat what they did previously, or I will have enough stats on a regular that I can do a thorough analysis on him.

On Stars I would play a reg, make notes and see him in 3 weeks again unless he is one of the masstabler nits, and I never had large samples on anyone really so I didn't get to use my reads

Same thing as Ultimate Bet. I couldn't believe the drop in skill level there.
