Back when I was king of online MTTs when that was all I played I kept way too much money online. One night in Vegas I got real stoned and decided it was a good idea to take a shot at 50-100 PLO on UB. First night I played like half an hour and won like 6k and vowed not to do that again.

Next night I smoked even more and took a xanax and jumped back in the game. 80k later I was basically broke.

edit: so yeah I have a gambling problem.

This also reminds me of my first time in a casino. I was 19 and had a 3k roll from playing 1-2 NL live in private games. We went to Tunica with my fake ID and I went straight to the Blackjack table to martingale it up. I lost the first 11 hands and my entire bankroll. I left Tunica immediately and that was the worst 4 1/2 hour drive home ever.

however BEING on tilt is the key. if you lose 10% playing well above ur head (which should be the case if you lose 10% of ur net worth) thats fine. im talking playing like a donkey and then feeling miserable about if for days.

wow. so how long ago was the 80k thing? how long did it take ya to recover? was it mental hell for a while?

I started off playing well that session too. Then a guy called my ~6500 push into a 7k pot on the river of a 3 flush flop, brick brick board with 2 pair and I lost it. The rest is kind of a blur.

The 80k thing was March or April of last year.

Financially I recovered fairly quickly, but mentally it weighed on me for a long time for several reasons.

Yes, it was mental hell for a while.

Does losing 15% of your poker bankroll playing BJ on tilt qualify ? I had a bad day 1 1/2 year ago playing 30/60 limit and ended up tilting more at BJ. I felt bad for like 2-3 weeks...

only when taking a shot

its pretty easy to lose 10% of your roll even when theoretically properly bankrolled. with a 300BB roll if you lose 30bets in a game thats 10%. with a 20 buyin NL roll if you lose 2 buyins thats 10%.

ive probably had a 10% bankroll downswing in 1 day a half dozen times. fortunately its been a while cause my bankroll be balla nowz ;D
