keep playing the $1 STTS, .01 .02 NL or .05 .10 Limit. Putting it all into one game is a sure fire way to go bust

Nah, unless of course you don't want to play with a $20.00 bankroll and are willing to deposit again. It all varies on how good you are to be honest to determine if you should carry on playing the $1.00 games. That is still quite a small amount of buy-ins when you factor in rake, you will only get around 15 actual buy-ins.

You should take an even more strict BR management and if I was you I would play $0.25 45man and 90man SnG's. I built up from around $7 to $50 playing these exclusively with and now pokerstars have added $0.50 45man and 90man games you can play these as well. This will deal with the swings, if however you go broke this way then you should shoulden't deposit after this and instead buy some books or read forums and watch videos to look at improving your game.

You could play the 2nl cash games which gives you 10 buy-ins which isn't ideal but if you play TAG 9max you should find it difficult to go broke anyway and hopefully build a good roll with bonuses etc to then revert back to the $1.00 if you wish.

Goodluck!

Yeah, something has to change, but it ain't this.

I got under my last 20 BI at one point and I changed the way I play to legitimately (proper BR management) raise stakes in a few months.

Do yourself a real favor. Don't play, take a break. Spend your poker time here, reading articles and threads and learning the game better. It will happen by osmosis, trust me.

Ask lots of questions (easiest best way to bump your post count). You might get that one insightful reply that changes your whole outlook, and thus your game.

Sooner than you can finish reading all the articles, you will be able to play our private games (freerolls, and cash added real money games) <<< Best deal in town....ANY TOWN.

But only and idiot will continue doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

You probably came here to improve your game. It can and will, but only if you let it, and help it improve your game.

I believe that is the definition of insanity.


OP: Don't do that!!! Just take a break, or at the very least start from scratch at the lowest limits and build from there. If you drop it into one game, unless you go on a heater and have the good sense to quit while you are ahead, you will go busto real fast.
