Sorry for the bump (tho it was on page 1) - but i this thread needs to be stickied as evidence of why you usually need more than 1 buy in for any level you are playing.

Ehhhh what

I deposited £100, doubled up to £200. Sat at $2/$4, trebled up to £600.

Sat at short-handed $10/$20 then $5/$10 chasing players on my buddy-list, but didn't get any hands. At this point I was playing patiently and carefully - fold fold fold.

Sat again at $2/$4 and won another buyin, taking me briefly to £730 in my account.

Then I sat at $3/$6, lost a repulsive $1200 hand where my opponent made an unbelievable call with top pair no draw on the turn, when I had 24 outs, none of which came. That put me on tilt, and I made a rash and impulsive bluff which didnt' work and blew another $600.

If there's a moral here, it's about avoiding tilt, taking breaks, and the importance of regular cash-outs.

I lost because I tilted and raised and bluffed too much. But I also lost because I couldn't get the money out of the site, which for me always spells doom.

No, you lost because you had one buy in and used that buy in to bluff one of the donkeys at the table.

What i loved is your justication for the play. Even if it is correct, it clearly falls into the area where you shouldnt make a +EV play because if you lose you are out of the game.

In fact, every single play you make falls into that catagory.

Jim if you know you are tilted but feel like you HAVE to play poker then drop down to baby stakes. Trying to double up or bust is not a succesful mentality.

I had $1450 when I joined the 3/6 table, so, no.

The first $600 I lost, I believe I had 24 outs when the money went in, all of which I missed. That put me on tilt. This hand was directly responsible for me losing the next.

Yes, you are completely right. I should have cashed out all my money from this site and deposited and played elsewhere.

Wait, aren't you the guy who posted a thread in OOT asking if you should keep some money you found in a former co-worker's desk?
