10nl today, no mcdonalds burgers, bla bla bla.
Just dropped from 25nl to try build my roll back up, FU FULLTILT

Run bad though :<

if your gonna rebuild a roll at .5/.10 why play at FT? There 10% rake at that game with the added bonus of the nittiest (sp?) regulars makes it the worst place to grind IMO

[sholler]

you aren't playing winning poker. the only cure is to move up so you can make the money back ten times faster.

200nl, i am quite good at poker

this is why people have 50-100 buy in bankrolls because 20 buy in + downswings happen. if they didn't happen then the whole idea of 50-100 buy in rolls is pointless.

one thing i noticed among how i react and any other profesionaly poker player i know a downswing is so tough mentally to overcome to some losing 100 bucks will cause them to go higher and higher to win it back others will just be pissed off until the ship gets turned around ive had a 3 month period in which ive lost 15k but all of my poker friends call me crazy since i keep a roll of 20k still on stars and i mostly 12 table 50-1 so im way overrolled for what i play... but alot of poker is about confidence and being ok with what you lose or win in a day 2 sessions ago i played 2 tables of 5-10 and lost about 8k all in all it hurt i won back half of what i lost that day on all different stakes... but for all people there will come a point in which losing x dollars just really hurts and it wont matter how good you are at the game if you dont come up with a plan to help deal with it prior to i myself get upset when i lose 1-2k or more it hurts me 100x more then when ive won the supernova freeroll or got into the wsop from a fpp qualifier id suggest to come up with some goals to hit and just realize that everyone goes through bad runs the best players have a way to avoid tilting and making it effect there game... im hoping to get on that level(:
