Ouch...this sucks. I think I figuring out the game and building a bankroll. Up 3K as of saturday afternoon. As of 10:00 pm Monday only up $400. How does this happen? I do not know. Lots of losses on the river. I still do not know how people make money playing limit.

building a bankroll...

step 1...do not tilt away 260 big bets in 3 days.

I knew that was the response I was going to get...believe me, I am not on tilt. Still grinding. Now only down $2,500 in 72 hours LOL. Oh well...up down up down.

+ or - 260 bb is a pretty normal day for your average limit player

play NL. you'll lose your roll a lot faster and it will free your time up to do other things.

sorry if my attempt at humor rubbed you the wrong way. good luck getting out of your downswing.

i dunno. back in my limit days i had several 300bb downswings w/in 5-7k hand streaches. granted i was bad at limit, but min bet holdem is variance intensive no matter what [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
