Hi, I deposited $100 on pokerstars a week ago and have made about a $1000 so far on the limit tables. It has been literally HELL making it that far since I have basically been going on tilt like a roller coaster.
My question is, how do I avoid tilt and risk losing the whole bank roll? I have it pretty bad and last night I almost lost my whole bank roll going to the higher tables trying to win the small amount I lost back.
For example. I've made $1050 and I go to a 1/2 limit table and sit down with $100. I get some bad beats and drop to $30. So now my bank roll is at $970. THIS IS WHAT MY PROBLEM IS! The money I just lost. I sort of panic and go to the higher tables like 3/6 limit to try and get that money I just lost back and it only gets worse.
(lost $130 on more bad beats) so now i'm down $840. THEN I REALLY START TO PANIC! I go to the 10/20 limits and end up dropping to $500, but some how I get out of the hole by bluffing and catching REALLY LUCKY hands AND RIVERS and make my way back up to $1000.
I understand that type of playing is dangerous and I could have lost the whole roll. A few days ago I went to the 15/30 limit tables with $600 and dropped all the way down to $240 at the 15/30 limit tables and had to bluff and catch lucky flops to get back to where I was.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! I am TERRIBLE with bank roll management and avoiding tilt. I know the money I lose at the 1/2 tables isn't a lot but for some reason I start to panic and I cant control going to the higher tables and playing sloppy while losing almost the entire bankroll.
How do you avoid going on tilt?
Any advice is greatly appreciated
