It'd be nice if of my many all-ins with 85%+ equity, I could win just one per day. Just one. Get AA in 10 times AIPF? Winning one would be a huge upgrade. Get top set in five times versus backdoor draws? Winning one out of five would be a massive heater for me. Instead, I get hand after hand after hand like this:

Sorry for the unconverted text, the FTR converter doesn't support Euro tables. Villain is a retardedly aggro regfish on a heater obviously, or I'd 4b pre.
In all seriously though, I got AA in three times today AIPF, twice vs AK once vs Q9o, lost all 3. Top set in vs an overpair where you could tell the regular was intending to bet/fold the turn, but instead time down spew called most likely because he remembered it was me and as 5% equity is more than 0% equity, he cannot possibly lose. Lots of other standard nut hands drawing dead vs backdoor draws etc. Would be so nice if Stars would just take $100 out of my account for every 1000 hands I play, but allow me to run like everyone else not named TwoSmeets or Coordi.
I'd just like to win one where they aren't drawing dead when the money goes in, but that's far too much to ask I guess. Luckily there's always FPPs and fish that'll stack underpairs vs my quads drawing dead, so I can still beat the rake.

Ouch, sucks to run that bad! I'm in one of these periods aswell.
As for the hand converting, have you tried www.weaktight.com ? It's a good one.
Keep at it, you are an inspiration.
I've noticed a lot of your volume these days is away from 100NL. Is this due to the fact that 100NL 100bb games are really bad after the changes, or that other games are just more juicy?
(or did you just move up)
That's a good question Pokerarb. My proportional volume at 200NL, and especially 400NL and 600NL compared to 100NL increased significantly after the changes.
It's not a question of moving up or down, as I've been playing across several stakes for a long, long time now. I'm still playing 65-70% of my volume at 100NL/PL/Euro.
A lot of people might disagree with me, but I actually think there has been something of an influx of whales at 400NL and 600NL 50bb tables compared with how 400NL and 600NL games were before the changes. I think maybe this is due to many of the better 400NL and 600NL regs refusing to play 50bb tables.
That being said, the changes still suck and the games are by no means in good shape anywhere on Stars. 100bb poker is dying more every day there. I plan on moving some (or all) of my volume once my SNE modifier has lapsed at the end of September.
Re: Jimmy, thanks for the weaktight recommendation. I'll give it a go next time I need to convert a Euro table hand.
