Shoestringx
Rock Star
Silver Level
Well, lately I've been haveing a horrible downswing, seemed to just be leaking money. Was getting frustrated and a little tiltish when I played. So I decided to take a break from poker, for the simple reason that I wasn't really having fun.
Well last night I decided to play and joined a $25NL table, which is out of my bankroll but I kinda wanted to force myself to play focused. I had doubled my chipstack and a little more by busting a couple of people with smallish stacks and then the following happened:
