Yes, I lost all my money. The messed up typing was just a way to add humor to the loss, which is far from devastating. I still have a bunch of money saved up, and I have job offers from a ton of companies, but I'm going to try to keep playing poker.
I didn't expect this thread to be/get so long, and I find it entertaining to see all the different types of responses (celiboy ftw lol). It seems that some of you apply your own rules (morals?) to my situation, and then you make judgements, calling it surprising or crazy or stupid or retarded or whatever. I saw it as taking a big shot and knowing I have options if it doesn't work out (get a stake and actually try to win, deposit more, get a job, etc). Admittedly, once I lost a massive pot with like 95% equity on the flop, I semi-tilted off the remaining ~$3k I had online.
You'll probably see me at the big Stars 3/6 game soon, grinding out FPPs for bonus money, lol.
Oh and just to clarify, the graph I posted was from April 21st until the 29th, which is why there are only 9k 5/10 hands on it. Clearly I didn't go on crazy monkey tilt from breaking even for 9k hands. It was like 50k hands, and that wasn't the whole reason I decided to play 100/200. I just felt like going balls out and seeing if I could double my bankroll real quick.

Miles, I take big risks with my live BR all the time--like playing 100/200 with only 150 BBs or something. Not as reckless as this, but I can relate to the sentiment--sometimes its just demoralizing to run breakeven at friggng 5/10 when you've been playing this game for years and have beaten much higher stakes in the past. Sometimes grinding at small stakes just isn't worth it and if you can't play higher you'd rather just not play.
That said, I hope you have other sources of income cuz its even more demoralizing to live off mac and cheese at your parents house when you're used to buying whatever you want whenever you want it.
