HEK,

"ended up blowing basically my enitre roll... At one point I was pretty much dead dead broke."

Just curious, since you seem very open and willing to share. How big did your roll get at its peak?

El D,

~ $260k but that includes me double-paying IRS at $45k. Yeah I'm not too bright.

btw I think you predicted my bustoness sometime last year didn't you?

Re: Completely Busto to Robusto. Yesterday i blow up.
 

HEK it looks like you were playing 25/50 with just over a 20 buyin roll. Did you always move up so aggressively? As long as I have known you as a player (well over 3 years now) bankroll management has always been your biggest leak as a player.

WTF? You're that guy? I had no idea. I'm the guy who denied you action just before you started playing xdhaj when there were no games going. I'm new to 25/50 and you seemed good from 6-max so I didn't fancy it. I watched most of your match too, really brutal stuff [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Sorry to derail, but what is double-paying?

Re: Completely Busto to Robusto. Yesterday i blow up.
 

chin up hek.

take as long off as needed before you can play without thinking 'oh god i need to get that money back'.

Re: Completely Busto to Robusto. Yesterday i blow up.
 

wow, HEK, it's crazy how this [censored] happens.

I had basically done the exact same thing, picked up HU had been on a really nice tear about 130-140k or so (70 last month) then all of a sudden on Tuesday [censored] hit the fan.

Same exact thing, started tilting, old me, openshoving, paying off, not folding, unbridled aggression. Lost 10k in PLO and another 32 or so in NLHE.

Started to pick up the pieces late yesterday afternoon, won 5k back playing 3/6 and 5/10 and just finished another session where I won 5k playing mostly 5/10.

Best of luck, I hope we both get out of this soon.

he paid twice...resulting in a nice big refund come april [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

sorry to hear about your downswing....a trick to br management could be to only keep so much money online, keep the rest in ING or HSBC, that'll force you to wait a couple days if you lose so much. (basically waiting on the transfers)

Re: Completely Busto to Robusto. Yesterday i blow up.
 

just another war story man, a great one to tell when your older and you'll be better for it.

key thing now is to not lose the confidence you had yesterday.

i HIGHLY doubt xdhaj is a regular under a different name. from what i observed, he would just shove and pray and play like an overall fool.
