I have been playing for a number of years and lost over $9,000 on pokerstars from poor/ non existant bankroll management, an addictive personality, heads up arrogance and a thirst for quick money! Over the past few months i have been grinding my way from a $40 deposit, through the microstakes cash full rings. Obviously i began on the 0.01/0.02 tables playing 9 tables at a time to increase my hourly winrate and 50,000 hands later my bankroll is sitting on $600. I use a 50 buy in buffer to dictate my stake level and have also started to implement a 2 buy in loss mititgation strategy (that is when i lose 2 buy ins i drop stakes until i have climbed back up at which time i will move up again). Along my journey i have had 2 significant tilt periods. i just couldnt hit a hand and my loss mititgation was slow and the gambler in me came back. my most recent of which was a $200 buy in (50% risk) at the $1/$2 tables whereby i was lucky to hit a set of JJ on a flop of AKJ against a AK suited with which i shoved all in pre flop at the mercy of the poker gods! this luck shot my bankroll in excess of $600 and was a breath of fresh air in a slow grind! Obviously i dont have the kind of dicipline yet to move from the microstakes but lately have been playing solid poker! or what i percieve to be solid poker. What i need from the world is a fresh perspective on my stats if it is possible. i will post my hand data and my bankroll chart and if you can please help me find leaks i would really appreciate it! :cheers:
