and btw: I wish you all the best. I think you certainly play well since I have seen you regularly in the strat threads for a long time and I know that the hands you post are always pretty interesting and spark discussion. Maybe you can try storing most of your roll in an eWallet and setting a deposit limit on the site you play on. That might be a way to control losses. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks Gentz, and everybody else. Appreciate all comments. GL on the tables everybody. |

Hope you can avoid tilting in the future, and don't think of it like 'winning back" the money you lost but accept that it's gone. The feeling you have to win back money is a terrible state to play poker in. |

Cleaner, hope you get your roll back and act together. But as many have suggested and you haven't commented, get a rakeback deal. With the volume you are playing you'll get your $1500 easily even by playing breakeven poker. In addition if you can beat Stars for 4bb/100 you might even crush many other sites for much more.

Re: Advice from your amigo, Enrique........
Yes, clearly you should switch to playing full time with your one buy-in. In fact, you should take it to 25/50 and use your short stack powers to make a killing, foolproof plan.
That was a level, right? |

Re: What have I done ? 2/3 of my Bankroll gone
You shouldn't gamble with money that you or your family needs to live on. Even as a pro, if you don't have the bankroll to sustain heavy losses and still pay the bills, then you are either playing at too high a level, or you shouldn't be a pro.
I think you should play poker as a suplemental income, and try to get a low paying, but steady job to cover food, rent, and clothes for you and your family. Also, don't play cards while undergoing periods of extreme emotional stress. You will not think as clearly, and you will be more prone to tilt. |
