I liked the note circles stuff for PokerStars, but I use the Slick Dark theme and not hypersimple and such, so I wanted something similar. I saw that there was something out there to change the frame color, but I didn't think that was easy enough to see at a glance, so I took a few hours and made my own theme that looks a lot nicer imo. Anyway, just thought some of you might find it useful so here's a zip with 2 themes for it (One for Slick Dark, and one for Slick Dark with Chairs):

Install instructions (also in the zip):

To install if you have no other custom themes installed, simply copy the XThemes directory to your main PokerStars directory. If you already have a custom theme installed, you will need to take a few more steps: First, extract the zip to a temporary directory. Next, open the XThemes directory and copy all of the contents EXCEPT for XThemes.ini to your PokerstarsXThemes directory. Then open XThemes.ini in your PokerstarsXThemes directory with a text editor and add all of the text from the XThemes.ini in this zip.

Just thought I'd give an update from my last post, since I think I've finally fixed what I was doing wrong. Found that I was playing too loose and generally giving away money, so I tried recentering my play this week and regaining my discipline. I think I still have a while to go before I feel confident about every decision I make, but I'm at least consistently making money now Here's my graph of my hands this week:

So, I started playing poker about 2-3 weeks ago. Didn't really have much knowledge prior to doing so. Read the guides here, as well as elsewhere and generally tried to get myself as informed as possible before I put money into it. When I eventually did put some money in, I guess I still wasn't informed enough, as I threw away like 15 buy-ins in a very short time span.

After that, I realized just how retarded a lot of my play was, and I think I have a great deal of that fixed, although I'm still not that far past it. Atm, I am pretty much breaking even, maybe a little bit on the positive side.

That's what brings me to making this blog, pretty much. I'm still fairly scared to post anywhere on this site (as I am when I first join most online communities for some non-apparent reason), but this blog seems un-intrusive enough to allow those who want to help me do so, while not annoying the site regulars

Anyway, onto my current situation. I feel like there's something missing in my approach to poker or some leak that I'm failing to see. Again, that goes back to the whole "breaking even" thing. Every time I play, I always seem to get up in money, and then lose a hand after I go all-in with it. I keep looking at the hands in hindsight and not seeing a bad play on my part, but because it just seems to keep happening all the time, I feel like maybe it *is* something I can fix.

An example of one such case tonight:

And here's my graph for the last 600 hands, which I think displays that sort of thing happening fairly often:


Any general or specific advice you guys could give me would be very greatly appreciated.
