Ok so i started with 10$ and used bankroll management and 1 tabled short stack 6 max and got my bankroll up to 130$ after 3 weeks with about 14 thousand hands and had a bb/100 of 7.53. But then i started multi tabling and went on MASSIVE tilt and even jumped up a level and lost 110$ in one night lol. I was so angry at myself for losing my whole bankroll that took so long to build. I am my own worst enemy in poker. So to try to avoid this again im going to do a stop loss from now on. But im not sure if that will help because i know about brm but i willingly went against it when i was on tilt and im afraid i might do the same with with the stop loss. Hopefully i dont reach that level of tilt with the stop loss in place. And im now trying to consciously be aware of my tilt triggers and just try to be honest with myself after a bad beat or being bullied and ask myself did that piss you off. Not sure if that will help but understanding your triggers is the first step to fixing it i think.. I re deposited about 150$ because i know i can beat 5c 10c level and 10c 25c is where im at and see alot of bad plays there im confident i can beat that too. Just have to take a more professional approach and stick to 1 table and brm and make sure i do my poker ritual before i start playing and of course try not to tilt again and i should be able to get to 25c 50c soon.

Avoid big loss

Know your weaknesses. Looks like multi isn't your thing. You have to be able to pay attention, or else ur opponents will catch on. They can search ur handle/username n see u on multi, so they can target u harder.. Keep it micro (.05/.10 & less) until u get ur game in order.

You need more experience to play so many tables at the same time. It´s not easy make too many decisions with so short time. If you are good at one table only then play it. With time you will play at higher stakes and even make more money. Don´t be rush or you will go broke over and over again.

Yea thing is i actually like multi tabling tho. I can do 24 no problem on stars just really tight and not really profitable. But is some fun. But i cant do it not even a few profitably in the long run i end up losing and making bad plays and seem to tilt very very easily. Thats why im trying to stick to only1. Does anybody know anyone who makes a descent profit by only 1 tabling online?.I might be able to manage two tables profitably but haven't done any tests and not sure if i will for a while... Just wana see how high i can go using brm 1 tabling at 6 max shallow stack..

Single table

Hey again, Dubatep.

The biggest challenge for me at one table is to keep from getting bored. If you like six-top play, I would recommend that. The action is faster and the hole card options open up. Just stay focused on the moves ur opponents make, keeping your eye out for the headsup opportunity. Hang in there. Single table profit comes with focus, and time. Once you have doubled or tripled ur starting stack your stack, find a way to get to another table. Good luck!!

Most people find a happy medium somewhere between 1 and 24 tables, you don't have to be at one extreme or the other!

You must be good player when you made 130 in 3 weeks at 1,50 hyper table - I recall loosing there about 100 USD with no return... either you play good and you win or loose there lots... in MTT I end mostly in 300 top... anyway - you need to play supper tight in the beginning - not risk - play only hands, that you can win and be aggressive on those who play weekly - steal their blinds. Than when you have more chips you can loosen your criteria and try to play bluff hands like 47 diamonds suited...

Quit whenever you go on tilt, watch for your tilt triggers, and consider quitting if you take a bad beat or whatever else triggers tilt.
