Alright this is my first nightmare week of the year i'm down 450... still up 2000 all up though for the year.

Played very terrible and not happy at all, most ppl might suggest leaving for a week or resting up... Some reason i want to fight that and work through my problem plays by continuing on as normal and hoping it's just downswing.

One advantage i have is every time i lose which isn't much with live poker this year so far... it really really gripes me and it takes me to a place where i don't want to be. Losing 5 dollars is the same as 450 to me, it's not the money it's all about winning or losing and i hate to loose!.

Argh been practicing being a maniac online and tonight i lost discipline with my card selections and paid full price :)... i need to find that happy place and start getting rewarded by playing TAG style.. I've been practicing LAG i need to know all styles and learn how to exploit every single section and by that it's by learning every method.

Anyone got any advice on different versions of poker to help increase my skill? All i know is cash/tournament play in holdem no limit. Anyways Gutted and i'm determined to make the right decisions next time i play and not let this happen again, if it does it'll be by great decisions and extreme luck on my opponents... Grrr oh well :) i hate to love poker.

I did one thing and thats if you loose... u take something out of the loss! ... I know a guy squints at the card on the turn to try and pick whether they've hit it or not. Great info to have and also will call medium bets with his JJ even if his king is on the board. Which means i need to jam this guy to make him fold i guess only if i've shown strength in the past.

Also means in the longterm i can exploit this guy with same bet sizes and expect to get paid off

btw i just readup that if you deposit $100 which i normally do or 50 ...

You'll end up going broke at cash tables even 100 dollars because it cant handle the downswings... The tip was sit n goes and headsup... What are your guys thoughts? perhaps this is what i'm doing wrong?...

My strategy to building up a bankroll i think will be my 3 buy-in rule.... start with 100... then play 30nl hit 200 hit 50nl n so on and hopefully get it to 500 ... then start at 2nl ...

I know i can get a good run on all formats... the best ive gotten my BR with that is 370 from 20 dollars. Hmmm just depressing when you multi 4 tables on 2nl and u eventually go bust with your 100 dollars. embarressing is the term since so many talk how ez it is. and I'm a winning live player 1/3 well won 3/11 weeks now ... 2 yrs n a bit of experience. so much to learn and grow.


tilt and distractions are my biggest weakness online. 6 great winning days and the 7th will destroy me.

I'm not really sure what your actual question is anymore. Are you not sure about what bankroll management you should use?

Sharron...I'm so confused! looks like you don't understand br management play 2nl with you're 100 cause you're logic makes no sense.

You should not go broke at 2nl with 100 in the account? Unless you just hit crazy variance this sounds like loosing strat maybe?
Or did I read this wrong?

Yes it's due to losing strat ... I'm working hard on my leaks, like TPTK is awful, yesterday i played 1000 hands and came out infront even though i had been beat with KK and AA which is everyday circumstance... Almost ready to fold KK against certain regs now.

The Way ahead and way behind theory i feel will help me big time... and small hand small pot and the big hand big pot ... read a lot as i do when i start losing and try putting it into work.
