I had planned my next post to be all about how its now much harder to move up 'money-wise' on pokerstars if you are just playing the Fifty/50 games then it used to be. Then I won $9+ in a game tonight bringing me agonizingly close to the $50 overall mark! Post topic no longer as relevant. FYI: You know what can help you win a lot of money at poker? Being dealt QQ, KK, AA, and AK. It also helps that 3 out of those 4 times people either go all in or call your own all in!
Its still true, though. The entry fee is always $3.50, but your winnings vary from $0 (yes, that actually happened one game when I was put out at the same time as another guy who had less chips then me...so, technically I lost money since pokerstars takes a quarter as part of the entry fee---i got $3.25 back for that game. On another note this is the longest explanation in parentheses ever!) all the way to the $9+ range. But, usually I find I'm getting my $3.50 back + around $2 on average. You really do need to win twice as many games as you lose to move up with any kind of momentum.
