I have blown my money in online poker and poker rooms so many times I cant even count. I have made a lot of money too though ;)

I know that every time I have lost my money and felt that stomach churning feeling is because I didn't practice Bank Roll Management (BRM).

No matter how good you think you are at poker. Even if you are a super tight player who has a very limited range. Suckers are gonna suck out on you and take your money.

So, I'm gonna kick my own ass into shape and never let my selfish and impatient ways tempt me to stray away from the plan. Im going to have a very strict BRM regimen, grind micro stakes up to high, and in the end pay for my family to go to Disney World.

Yup, you read that right. I'm going to grind my way up to a Disney World trip for my beautiful wife, son, mother-in-law, and myself.

Hopefully at the end of this thread I will have pictures of us all at Disney. :icon_bigs

I think if there is something I learned is that it is true that the worst enemy of one is the same .. so it is something that little by little I am trying to cope and try to calm the anger n the difficult moments of poker and to take charge Of my decisions since each choice is and depends solely on me.

Don't take your mother- in -law, unless you're planning on leaving her there.

bankroll management has always been an issue with me as well. I stick with it for a little while and then I get impatient and start playing over my limits

It is exactly what I say, it is a game of ourselves against ourselves, I always lose more for my oldness than for something else

Ok... So, just after posting this thread. I won 11$ in a free roll on BOL. I got 2nd out of about 1600 people. That is a lot of people for 11$ !! Wow though, I can't believe the timing. Im going to use this money from the freeroll to start the challenge. :cool:

Exactly the same thing for me as well brother. Let's work on ourselves more and be more disciplined.

For your oldness? I'm not sure what you mean by that lol :D

However, I totally agree with what you said about a game of ourselves against ourselves.

really your biggest opponent is yourself, your mind can be treacherous with you.
