OK.. been playing poker for awhile... only this year I have been serious about it reading articles and HH etc.

Normally my story would be every couple of months I deposit anywhere from $100 to $400 dollars... run it up to $1000-$2000 and try to use that as my bankroll... take a shot and lose everything.

Well this week was a little different, I deposited $330 dollars on an Ongame Network site, lost it all to a horrific beat on $2/4... and decided to play with the last $122 dollars in my bank account. I need this money for the holidays and food n random ish, so I could NOT lose.
I proceeded to play $1/2...$2/4...$3/6...$5/10...$10/20...

I eventually got to $9000USD in about 48-72 hours... got lucky twice, and got really unlucky a couple times.

I decided this would be THE TIME that I keep the bankroll.

To end the 2nd day, I decided why not shortstack the $25-50NL game and try to get it to $10000?????

This is where it went all bad.

Lost QQ to runner runner flush, down $1500.
Lost 1010 on K43 board against AJo with 5 on turn (allin) river 2 for a straight, another $1500.

Proceed to lose 5gs.

Deposit some money on UB, make that up to $2500.
Lost a flopped set turned full house to KK when the board tripped up. I had 33399 on turn (allin) KK rivered 999KK.

Proceed to go on tilt-monkey mode when my QQ got me stacked $5-10NL by a baby flush.

I've done this like 10 times since Jan 06. Each time leaving with $300 or so from the whole ordeal.

Brag: $122 to $9000 in ~2days.
Beat: almost down to the felt now.

Don't really know why I'm posting the story, but would really like some people to tell me what I should do etc. Yes I know about bankroll management, no, this was not a good display of that. I know.
