What happened when I switched to PokerStars

When I logged on to CC today, there was a note saying that I haven't posted in 2 or 3 weeks and asking me to maybe drop a post on the forum. Here goes....
After playing tournaments almost exclusively at Bodog for the past 5 or 6 years, I've recently switched to PS for the bigger selection and bigger paydays. What a difference. The games are infinitely more challenging. Now I have yet to FT in any tournament with more than 120 people or so, but I have had quite a few with top 1, 2 or 3% finishes. While it feels great to finish say 36th in a field of 1700 or so, it does take a long time(4 hours) and I think I got $125 in that $11 rebuy. Today I finished 46th out of 1333 in a 12K guaranteed $5 rebuy for $43 after 4.5 hours.
At Bodog I had notes on everyone. When I started at PS, I had no notes and my early results showed it. Now my tables are lit up like Broadway with different colored borders encircling many players names indicating I have notes on them. With the increase of more familiar players came an increase in finishes also.
I havent shown an actual profit yet despite some strong finishes. Because of all the games they offer and how long each game lasts, I have been dabbling in multi-tabling. I am beginning to realize that at my age (57), it is harder to keep the focus needed for me to succeed. So I would have a strong finish at 1 table and then lose it at another table simultaneously. In my case, I think multi-tabling actually DECREASES variance.
So to wrap up, I am very happy at PS. I am going to keep taking notes and play only one tournament at a time. Hopefully, I will be able to hold on to my winnings and stop seeing them come in one hand and out the other.
Man, I can smell that long green on these FTs at PS and it gets stronger everyday.

That sounds great, good luck at the tables there.
Keep us posted.

yeah pokerstars defiantly had different players than bodog.

Sounds like you are on your way ... good luck.

I stopped playing dog after they shut down my PT3.
