Heres the story....
Deposited $200 at Fulltilt.
Playing $0.50/$1 NL and a little bit of $1/$2 I got up to around $900.
Cashed out my initial deposit so that I was playing with just my profits.
Had a bit of a downswing with the $700 i had left going down to $400. Then built it back up and have been sitting around $600 for a few days.
Last night I logged in to play, focused after reading some really good articles etc.
Little did I know that by the time I logged out i would have only $100 left!!!!!
OMG what happened?
I don't know if I was playing bad or getting sucked out or what its all just a blur.
I remember being beaten by sets about three times over my AA, KK's and also my fullhouse being cracked by quads but did I really play that bad to let this happen or is this normal??
Ive never lost this many buyins or dollars. I thought maybe i am playing at too higher stakes. Possible. But I feel really comforatble at $0.5/$1 NL and have been making some really good progress.
Can downsings and bad sessions be this bad? Should I have quit the night after losing say 2-3 buyins? (I buy in for half everytime).
Was I overvaluing my overpair and two pairs etc? That probably can't be answered without hand histories etc but geeeeez, feeling like its going to be a hard road getting back up to where i was.....
Should i continue playing the same stakes? I feeling like just putting my last $100 on a $1/$2 table and trying to double up but thats not the right thing to do is it?
Its hard seeing a way back up thats all. I just have to convince myelf that things don't happen overnight but they do happen ...
