That was pretty funny, I laughed out loud.My bad day #19 was just bad playing on my part. #21 was part bad play, part variance. I just wanted my graph to be the same as the graphs of each Chris, I guess.
Your support means a lot to me, but you may now go back to playing awesome poker and kicking variance in the behind
Oh, and while you're at it, please tell her that I never want to see her again. There's so many fish waiting to hook up with her that she really needn't bother with you and I
As far as the playing goes, I took a short two-day break over the weekend. But today, I already played a session, and session 2 will follow shortly, as will the update.

Uhh, im going to restart.
From $600 down to like $210 or $220 on full tilt because of a few big losses ($216 750k tourney and multiple bad $22 games), so im just going to leave that money on there, perhaps rebuild, perhaps withdraw, whatever.
Back to pokerstars for now. King of sit and go's. Had $2 on it because I withdrew all money last month. (Was like $350 or smths)
I put on $100 yesterday. Now at $560. Begin!
Progress Report
Day 1: 100% ($100)
Day 2: 560% ($560)

No, you're not. At least not in this thread.
The purpose of this thread was never to artificially make the graphs look good. Either you stick with your initial starting point or you'll have to stop posting your progress altogether.
There have been a lot of participants in this thread who have posted a few times (most of them have posted a few winning sessions), and they were never heard of again. That's not how this was supposed to work.
I think that most players get fed up too easily when things don't go their way. Some of the people in this thread may have already gone busto and "started over" (probably playing freerolls, building from zero like Chris Ferguson) without any of us ever knowing.

Well I haven't posted in the past 10 days because I blew up one night and went on tilt. Blowing all of the progress I had made over the past few months. I thought maybe if I waited a few days and built it back a bit, I'd be less embarrassed or I would snap back to normal. But it hasn't really worked. I am back over 100% but only because I'm doing the wrong things. gambling way to much, popping up into levels I shouldn't be playing with my roll. I'm not going to quit. I'm just going to refocus and see how things are. It is kinda interesting how all of us had a nice run up for awhile and now were all getting slammed lately.

More bad days. I keep reviewing the hands and don't think I am playing worse than I was when the line was going up. Still playing until I make my 50 points a day for Iron Man promotion and January bonus, but performance still sucks.

It certainly looks like you tilted quite a bit there. I can't give you any specific anti-tilt advice other than to immediately stop playing and take a break when you notice that you're spewing chips/money.
Also, there's really nothing to be embarassed about, we've all had tilt happen to us at some point. Just make sure to keep your bankroll at least semi-safe!
I'm playing a bit on the edge myself right now (even though I dropped to NL400 once again), but I'd never play let's say NL2000 or something because I know I'd go on life tilt if things went wrong and I busted my roll.
Hang in there, it's all gonna work out. You know I know how you feel, so let's get back to the tables and own everybody.

Ah cmon its not exactly like that.
Playing at full tilt was with christmas money, hence why I went a little extra spewy and am sitting at what? 35-40% now? I have no desire to play there atm.
Its not like im starting over at <insert amount left> at 100% on full tilt. Its entirely different! Its a new deposit ($100) on my main website I play, Pokerstars. I have over 1k+ games there ive been there since july only reason I stopped was for this full tilt deal.
Anyway I think i should be able to start over on pokerstars, its an totally different website and I only had $2 in my account.
Dont be a nit omggzzz
damn if i ever try to start over again ill give you my full tilt money, gimme a chance here w/new BR.

Sorry I haven't been posting in a while, I don't really know why I haven't been. I'm really trying to figure out the holes in my game because I seem to be a really up and down type of player (playing slightly over my BR doesn't really help either but I just play where I'm comfortable but also won't go broke). I kind of think that I'm just not aggressive enough in certain situations. I also notice that when I sit down at a table in the first hour or so I'll make a little bit of money but over the next few hours I'll start losing it, not from bad play but just getting shit cards or maybe even being outplayed by the other players. Not having PokerOffice or PokerTracker is kind of hard to see where my game flaws are.
Anyways, here are the updates since the last time I posted:
Day 11: 140% ($71.31)
Day 12: 123% ($62.41) - Played in a lot off different levels of ring games, lost and lost a lot of HU matches. At one point in the session of was profiting money but ended up losing some in the long run.
Day 13: 171% ($87.01) - Played a couple heads up matches won a couple and lost a couple, then I sat down at a ring game and caught some good cards against a couple fish and made some good money - Total time played 2 hours.
Day 14: 161% ($81.66) - Won 4 heads up matches and the lost 4, lost a $1 45 person sng, and lost a little bit at the ring games - Total time played 3 hours.
Day 15: 119% ($60.61) - Horrible, horrible run added with some tilting. Played for 7 1/2 hours and just had a bad day, so bad that I didn't even write any notes about how I did that day because the numbers are self explanatory - Total time played 7 1/2 hours.
Day 16: 108% ($55.00) - For the most part the day started off good, I made some decent money and then lost a really big pot. I had A K and there was a pretty big raise pre flop, I called the raise and caught aces and kings on the flop. Villian bet out a lot of money which I called and one other person went all in, turn came a blank and the villian put me all in. I ended up folding because I had a feeling he had pocket aces and caught 3 of a kind, turns out I was right when he showed his cards. Played in a $1 18 person SNG and placed 3rd, and then played a pot limit (by accident) $1 tournament placed 39th and made a couple bucks. - Total time played 5 1/2 hours.
Day 17: 132% ($67.20) - Session didn't start off too good. I started off with losing 2 heads up matches but then made some money at the rings because I was sitting at a table with a fish who had a lot of money. - Total time played 1 1/2 hours.
Day 18: 146% ($74.30) - Did pretty good in the cash game, I even noted here that even though I won money I still have some leaks in my game. Also won a heads up match against a guy who played like a retard. - Total time played 45 mintues.
Day 19: 131% ($66.70) - I was pretty tired, I don't even know why I ended up playing that night. I did pretty good in heads up games but ended up losing some money at the ring, and did really bad in a 180 person SNG because I was tired and didn't really feel like playing anymore. I did however make some good fpp's that day - Total time played 1 1/2 hours.
Day 20: 138% ($70.30) - Not a bad day, made a little bit of money at the ring. I then had the sudden urge to play omaha so I sat down at .01/.02 ring and made a couple bucks. Won 1 heads up match and lost a $1 hundred grand satelite. - Total time played 4 1/2 hours.
Day 21: 257% ($130.40) - Overall a really good day and was really happy with the way I played. Made a little bit of money at the holdem and omaha ring games. I then had an urge to play in a tournament so I registered at a $4 180 person SNG and placed 4th, I won $57. This tournament by far was my best play as of yet. Slowly increased my stack in the begining and just kept on going. I was the top 3 biggest stacks throughout most of the tournament. - Total time played 4 1/2 hours.
Day 22: 225% ($114.55) - Card and flop dead for the most part. Lost some money in the ring, placed 50th in a $4 180 person SNG, won a $2 heads up match, I then took a stab at a $5 heads up match and lost, then lost another $2 heads up match - Total time played 3 1/2 hours.
As you can see, my graph is really up and down. I really need to find out where I'm playing bad and what I'm doing wrong.
Sorry for such a long post, just haven't updated recently as you know. I'm also getting really close to gaining enough FPP's to get my initial deposite bonus which is $50, I'm only 93 FPP's away.

I haven't updated this for a while because...well it's exactly what Chris said I lost a bunch and was kind of embarrassed, I still kept track of my bankroll I just didn't post it. I was playing too high for my bankroll, I'm lucky I didn't lose all of my money. now I'm only playing $10NL, usually 4 tabling which still might be a little high for my bankroll thats at around $150 now but the players at that level are really weak. I have won a lot more than my bankroll shows because I keep playing in MTTs and losing. Anywaysssss here is my graph.

Day 76: 355% ($7,106)
Day 77: 241% ($4,836)
Day 78: 217% ($4,353)
I'm actually happy with today's result. No, I haven't gone insane, it's just that being only one stack down feels almost like a heater to me right now.
Today's low was an incredible $2,950
Having bounced back from there sure was an important psychological success.
But I did switch to an immediate emergency plan. I move down with 7 stacks and move up with 10 stacks. I don't recommend this kind of BRM to anyone, just to be clear...
Being so close to my starting point from 78 days ago is a bit depressing, but then again I'm playing higher stakes and one good run can kick me back up in no time.
