Ok so I was BOORREEDD and thought I would have some fun. So I decided to do an all-in test at the $5.50 stars SnG.
I will post only the key hands for those interested. Total hand count 60. (originally it was just going to be wild play test, but moved into all-in play on the second hand /images/graemlins/grin.gif)

And that is the lesson on how to play NL hold-em. I would like to thank the poker gods, the players that helped me get there and their, ahem, not so kind words along the way. I hope I didn't cause to much trouble for the pokerstars support staff. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
