Jim, after a few of these experiences, why not give bankroll management a shot? What do you have to lose?

True he might have some money, but he wouldnt be able to make 6000 posts gaining him reputation has the worst poker player on 2p2

Surely I deserve some credit - I can't get from $50 to $4600 without being a damned good Omaha player *when I'm not tilting*. The problem is, obviously, I then tilt and throw it all away. This may, on the whole, make me a losing player. But it hardly makes me the worst player on 2+2.

You get all the credit that you deserve. You went busto. Congrats on being busto. Again.

How easy is it to spin up like you did? Not that easy, but if you do it enough, you will hit a rush. The key is what you do after the rush.

If you decide that you are suddenly able to beat the stakes that you have risen to through the rush, but are not really good enough, then you go busto.

For you, it has been rinse and repeat.

I will also recite my fortune cookie from today's lunch:

"Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."

Every once in a while, those fortune cookies are spot on.

Good luck.

24 hours later I feel so sick. I could have done so much with that money. I could have used it as the beginnings of a bankroll and, with some discipline, turned it into five figures.

Well, last night I set up an account with Betfred, the UK bookmakers which has an iPoker skin. I spent a long time on the phone to them talking about their withdrawal system. They process them a lot quicker than [censored] CDPoker. You can't cancel a pending withdrawal without phoning up - and you can ask them to put a note on your account saying "Do not cancel pending withdrawals" so if you phone up and ask them to cancel it, they won't do it. This sounds great - of course I've got them to put this block on.

You can also withdraw cash via their high street bookmakers, so I could potentially be picking up £2300 in banknotes from the bookies if I have a big win on their site.

Plus I get 20-22% rakeback.

I BLAME CDPOKER FOR EVERYTHING, BASTARDS

Oh well, onwards and upwards!

Just emailed CDPoker:

Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2007 11:29:26 +0100 (BST)
Subject: Close my account please because you suck
To: support@cdpoker.com
Dear CDPoker

I have played on William Hill, Ladbrokes, Poker Room,
Full Tilt, Party Poker, PokerStars, RoyalCardRoom,
Gutshot and many other networks. Congratulations on
being the worst site I ever played on! Your
withdrawal system is so inept and your lies are
pathetic. PartyPoker has to go through all the same
security checks as you do, yet they process
withdrawals speedily and their customers receive the
money within 48 hours. So don't give me any [censored].
There is no reason why it would take 7-14 days to
process a withdrawal other than that you are dishonest
and/or incompetent. I hold you directly responsible
for my losing the large sum of money I lost yesterday
morning because you couldn't be bothered processing my
withdrawal hours earlier, despite my having sent in my
passport, credit card and proof of address. I hope
your site soon goes out of business; I will continue
to expose your shoddy operation on the big poker
forums such as 2+2 and TheHendonMob, and I wish
misfortune in both business and personal affairs to
each and every one of you.

Oh, and close my account. Username Toshimi.

Regards,

[Me]
