I played up to 2000NL the last couple of days at Pokerstars.com and although I didn't score quite big, two poker hands won and lost me a $8K pot in each one of them. I flopped a set in the first one and being deep, I managed to shove all my chips before the turn, while in the second one we were heads up and I turned a set holding Kings. However I still needed to improve by the river to win the hand, but I wasn't lucky enough!
