Before today, I had been on a nice winning streak and had won 10x my original deposit of $40.
But then this happens; Im playing 6 max cash at 50NL (if i were really sticking to good bankroll management, I shouldn't be playing higher than 25NL), anyway Im dealt everybody's favorite hand AA. At this point Im up $15 or so. I proceed to go all in with 2 pairs, villain has a set of 3's and my hard earned $65 is gone.
I then proceed to quickly try getting my money back and move up to $100NL. I quickly win about $30 and just as quickly I lose the $30 back, which of course doesnt make me very happy.
And then what to I do? I just do what I have done many times before, I move up again to $200NL. Luckily (this time anyway), i won a nice pot and got back to even.
BUT, my point is, I could have easily lost that $200 buy in and that bankroll that had taken me like a week to earn would have been reversed form $410 to $180 in just 90 minutes. So that my fellow forum members is my history of crazy poker roller coaster rides.
Hopefully, I will get better at bankroll management.
Cheers!
