k all is well again. had a good 1k day--- so far im back on track. If anyone cares

[/ QUOTE ]

I've had a +$1,200 month this month, (which is going to be my best month ever, pending any unforseen DOOM switches being flipped), so I care. Though I do see now how far down the food chain that I lie. Thanks for putting things into perspective!

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice. Hope you posting that doesn't flip the doomswitch on you like it did me. Dropped almost $600 tonight, so still up about $1200 for the month.

Losing a 1/3 of what I have made so far this month in a couple of hours is painful though. I am about to hit platinum though, so at least I can get a $650 bonus from the FPP store.

Yeah guys dont worry. its just variance. Thats why i like to have a huge bankroll. It keeps me at peice and aware what good play eventually gets you.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting to keep running like I had so far this month, just didn't expect to drop it like that. At least I ran hot first before it happened, as I was playing with way to small a bankroll for NL100.

160 bb/100 at 2/4+ = sustainable
