I've cleared my bankroll three times in cash games. Once I did on the board I had a sequence of 10 to Ace. It had about 5 dollars, the pot was 12 dollars. Dei all in because it would be split pot. But I did not even analyze the board and had 3 spades. Automatically the opponent gave Call, he had an A-2 of spades and lost by flush. The other two times I broke up on the blessed Snow Man poker stars Christmas challenge. Hoping to leave the much acclaimed 8-8 left AA, KK, QQ, JJ, 22, 33 but 88 did not leave. As it was a zoom table I ended up wrapping in some hands to try to improve the bank but I ended up playing wrong and zeroing my dollars.

I had $50 on my pokerstars account, hovered around there for about 6 months, playing 2NL, and actually got it up to $100, and hit such a big bad streak, lost it in about 3 weeks just playing 2NL. Lol, it was painful, but I usually got it in good on the flop, and got beat on the turn, or river, then I got tilted, and it really went down fast. Fact of the matter is, if you set a dollar amount that you lose, you will stop playing for the day, that can help, and if you get tilted, stop playing ASAP, also don’t play stakes higher than your bankroll can handle. That has been my experience.

I-ve cleared my bankroll, that sounds so sweet. Just like my weekly reset :cheers:is that part of your plan? Because I "cleared" my bankroll at year's end. I had some fun in casino, my highest Bankroll would have been 3600$ out of nothing, if I had stopped when I knew it w2as time to stop! and than I lost it all again and did'nt even spare some up for BRM until end of January. Nice Christmas Gift these freerolls <:)icon_sant

BTW, I cannot withdraw yet, nor switch the money I win, so whatever.... I don-t recommend it at all, because next week I will be guilty, but do not try to win more than 60 S on each slot on your first and only vist, so take 50$ and run!

Frankly to be, I think you are a beginner friend. I do not even remember how many times I lost everything, or how many deposits I made during my 10 years of playing. :)

Yea buying in for your entire bankroll in cash game is so insane it is guaranteed to lose you money. 20x to 60x buy-ins

all lose, it's a game, one of a thousand wins, the rest lose, you bet 10 win 20 and then you lose everything, it's all about when it's not possible to put 10 win 20, and then put 20 win 100, and then put 100 win 500, good luck when somehow ends or if you put 1000 to win 100,000, this is one in a million

My friend, if you know how many times I've been out of the 10 years since I was playing poker ... :). But I also made withdrawals, which I left behind.

This is actually inaccurate.... 'all do NOT lose'... but a large percentage do.
Chasing a quick win can often lead to losing it all but if you invest time to study the game (including the mental aspect of it... ie. emotion control) & then use proper bankroll management there's a good chance you won't lose it all in fact you might even become a regularly winning player! (I've never gone broke on any site I've played on & I've played on well over 20 sites)


change the thinking... it is possible! But one needs to work for it.

I've lost everything several times but only for small amounts. I usually grind sit n gos and then take shots at MTTs. Will get that big score one day.

if I missed it at first a couple of times, but then I learned not to play all my money in cash, and always take care of my investment!

Try to not play a game that you can't afford 50 plus buy ins. This is purely new advice for someone who is learning on the fly.

Dont worry it happens to us all when your tilting the hardest but best thing to do is walk away for 5 minutes espically for cash just take a few breaths remember poker isnt a one day session its a life long session in the long run bankroll managment will be your friend im other here preaching i understand what im saying but im in the same boat as you my friend hang in there
