Bankroll mental block??

Does anyone else have this problem? I get my bankroll up to about R200,00 and just cant seem to get past that mark. Checking my bankroll history I keep getting to a max of R240,00 before hitting a down swing.

Over the past two months I have seen this trend 11 times!!!!!

Any advise / suggestions?

I play predominantly R0.5/R1 cash games and R5+.50 tourneys. Should I go to higher stakes games? 5% of R200 = R10 for SNG's.

PS sorry its in ZAR but sub $ fro R if u want (we wont comment on the exchange rate)

You should probably go to lower stakes, not higher, with that bankroll. At least in regards to the cash games.

Either way: Mental blocks, if this is not just a weird coincidence, are best avoided by ignoring them. So stop checking your bankroll and you won't know when you've passed the 200 mark or not.

I know but thats the lowest stakes available for cash games at the site I play at.

Is this limit or no-limit?

no limit....there is only one limit table at R0.5/ R1 and I suck at limit anyways.

I do play at other sites as well but have started with small deposits ie full tilt and cd poker but I find them frustrating..... On Bodog I'm doing good. Started from $0 (Read the Chris Ferguson Challenge and decided WTF) and am up to $18.20 but only play here when I'm on my A game.

Most likely it's not you or your game, it's the site!

They're not giong to let you go up over that limit because there's to much of a chance you're going to withdraw some of your winnings.

I have the same problem at one of the site I play. I made the mistake of withdrawing half the money I had there. This was more then two YEARS ago and I never got over that half mark again.

I tryed all the games available at that site, Omaha, O8, stud, HE limit and NL, trnys and S&Gs and nothing works. My last experiment is with limit HE, over the first 30 sessions ( one session is one hour max. ), my record is 4 to 1 on the winning side. And over the next 30, my record drop to 1 to 4.

An this is just typical for how things go for my game. How could a player be doing that good for some time and then drop to being so bad over a four week period? The only reason I could see is that they don't wont to let me take more money out!

At least, they don't get me low enough to kick me out of the site!

Please tell me where you play, and what name you use. Let's play some heads up.
