Oh god where do I begin. Deposited $50 at the end of january. Lost it in the same day. Next day deposited another $50, played .50/1, got up to $100. Played the $10 Rebuy 55k and came in 30th(about) and won the lastlonger on the MTTF so got my roll up to $450. Then played a sat for the $530 Tourny and got that. Now im up to about 1k in 2days. Take a shot at 5/10 and run well and am at 1400. Sameday take a shot at 10/20 and play 10 hands and win $200. So now im up to $1600. Say what the hell, this is too easy and can't lose, so why not take shots at 30/60. Proceed to run very well going up over 50 BB's a day for the next few days. Turn my $50 deposit into $14k within 8 days. Continue to play 30/60 and lose that 14k in about 6days. And here I am now with a roll of $500. Weeee, I love poker.

hmm, how did the story go? (note: online poker was only meant to be a $300 max venture)

Lose 800 playing games up to 2/4 and 200 NL
Win that back.
Lose 1800 playing 10/20 and 1000 NL
Win that back. playing 15/30
Lose around 3k more of the same. (playing all levels)
Win that before going on a month work trip.
Come back and lose all 3k plus 1800 in vegas
Win back 1200 playing 100 PLO
Lose, Lose, Lose end up down around 9k (breaking up w/ GF didn't help)
Down to last 1k.
Get going good. build to like 6200 or so playing mainly 400NL (some 1000NL and probably 2500NL mixed in).
Decide to sit with 5k against Spirit Rock. Build to around 6500. Then I push on the river after SR bets 1800 into a 900 pot with a paired board (3s I think) with a 2 card straight possible. SR folds. I quit. up like 200 overall now.

then I end up in the 5000 game with 2500, buy in for another 2500 after playing for a while to take my stack to 5k. Win about a 5k pot when a guy plays back into my KK. Win a 14k pot when I get it all in with AA versus KK.

Keep playing in the 5000NL and 2500NL and get up to about 10k. Drop a buy in at 2500NL misplayed AA versus QQ. Play 200/400 with 6800 or so. Win a big pot. Quit.

Wash rinse repeat stupidity. get down to being about up 3200 and start to build again. Still having temporary brain farts, but nothing that will put me back below 3k. It's still a process that I should stop, but I enjoy playing as long as I'm not playing with something else on my mind.

I was betting about 10 a hand on blackjack.

I lost 50$ dollars, got 30 back, and signed off.

I have blown up before. I have blown my entire bankroll (or well over half of it) in a short time period several times especially when I first started playing. It does not take much for me to get pissed off and do absolutely stupid [censored]. I mean ridiculous things.

I blew $14-$15K last Fall in a 40 hour tilt session. Plus I broke my computer which is the only reason the damn thing ever stopped. That's the worst I have ever done. I was livid, running bad, playing bad, and at the end of it GIVING money away in the highest NL games I could find online.
My bankroll MIGHT have been $25K at that point. Probably closer to $20K though.

I have made a rule since that. When I run really bad, I will play the $25 NL on Party and I will go all in every hand until I have lost four buyins. It works and is well worth the $100 considering what I have done while tilting at much higher games. I have done this and lost $100 4-5 times in the last nine months. It's almost fun. Another time I actually did this and turned my original $25 into $120. At first I was sincerely pissed I could not lose. Then I just laughed at myself and realized what a tilting [censored] I am.
