i know i am making severe mistakes for terribly handling my bankroll. however, i also know that i am a much better than average poker player,
Please read and find the error. If you lose your entire bankroll in a single day then you obviously don't have any bankroll management whatsoever.After depositing $100 on bodog, i made it up to $700 in a week
(...)
lost it all on one day
(...)
I deposited another $50 on bodog and in two days I turned it into $275.
(...)
on the third day I lost it all
(...)
In 3 days I turned the $100 into $500
(...)
i went a higher limit and bought in for my remaining bankroll.
i actually play tight aggressive, i did redeposit today $70 and currently am sitting at $120 after 45 mins playing sit-n-goes on poker stars. i am going to take a break now for a day
up $50 in 45 minutes playing sng's with a $70 bankroll??
What limit and how many tables? You either just got really lucky in the last 45 minutes playing at a buyin level way too high or you are multi tabling 6+ tables.
Best advice I can give you and it's been echoed alot in this thread is learn how to manage your bankroll. don't do *anything* else until you get this down.
4-tabling $5 SNGs? Uh, no. I don't think so. This may be possible in the very short run (say over a duration of 20-40 tournaments) but it's not even close to a realistic average.(i usally make $25-30 in a bad hour, $30-40 in a good hour, and +$40 in a great hour)
i was 3-4 tabling as usual (usually two 9 person tournys buyin under $5 and 2 heads up buyin under $5) i acutally profited $49.25 in 43 minutes of playing. that is the way i usally fare when i am playing poker (i usally make $25-30 in a bad hour, $30-40 in a good hour, and +$40 in a great hour), i usally make money at a rather quick rate, but squander it off within minutes after a bad beat, but now i am more focused, determined than ever before to NOT repeat the same mistakes I made earlier and TO manage my bankroll properly, i know i am such a @@@@@@@ idiot for throwing away my bankroll and hopefully I will NEVER do that again.
If you continue playing poker in this fashion I can virtually assure you that you will throw it away again. Online heads up tables are the closest version of poker to just playing slots or roulette you will find...luck dominates the most there. The more you let luck dominate the more swings and busts you will have in your stack.
