Default How to maintain your bankroll while running bad?

Just as the title asks. I play small stakes MTT nightly ($1-$10) and have been running horid for almost 2 months now. I have been playing really good and focused, but just having sic luck.

SEE HERE

How do you maintain your bankroll when this happens. I have not had any real success with cash games online, so that is not really my answer. I read one poster suggests SNGs. What do others do?

SNGs. Without doubt.

It's probably worth your time to get up on all the deposit bonuses being offered right now in an effort to get players to find alternatives to Neteller. That is, of course, assuming you have an alternative to Neteller.

Good luck.

YES, I thought of that.

I was going to put money into UB last night because they are offering 10% of your deposit in Tournament Dollars up to $50 free dollar without even having to work them off.

You have to deposit via Credit Card (A no no for me) or ePassporte. I was going to create an ePassporte account and deposit, but reading their fees it looks like they charge $5 for every $100 you transfer which is 5%. Now for someone who plays small stakes like me, that is just not worth it. It costs me $10 to put $200 in. I don't think so.

Anyone else use ePassporte? Is this right?

Heh, I have been trying to win at cash games for 3 years online. I have improved since I found this site, but not enough to maintain my MTT buy-in losses playing the stakes I do ($25). I believe I am up $29 for the year in a little over 4000 hands. That is also why I decided to focus more on MTTs. I have always had more success with them in the past.

everybody mentions sngs like they are printing money. they definitely aren't as easy as people making them out to be, especially with all the 10-16 tablers out there.
