OK now you are confusing me, you obviously missed the point (which is suprising even after my last post adding onto what i said), here it is again for those of you who dont read:
I understand the importance of profit and it really is the only reason im playing poker (90% profit/10%fun). The point is i just do not want to profit from playing a weak game and getting lucky because this is only short-term, i want to make money in the long run and to me this is only done when you play a solid game. I dont plan on playing online forever and i actually want to play in the big tournaments one day, i will never survive there if the best competetion ive had is lucky donks on pstars, this is the reason why i have been experimenting with higher stakes as-of-late.
You make good points in your second paragraph but how is any of that anything to do with getting sucked out/unlucky on pstars (which is what this thread is about)??
