I've made my first ever deposit into a poker site ( Pokerstars) in 19th of June 2020, 30 dollars. Its been 35 days now and I'm up to 141 dollars. 99 percent cash games. Just two weeks ago I had 279 bucks, needed just 41 dollars more to move to 0.08/0.16, 16 dollars buy in.. I have a 20 buy in rule.. This last week has been rough, been on a downswing and bit of tilt, the day before yesteday was down to 80 bucks, yesterday was down to 31 bucks, and today I've never had such a run before, the way Gods run, I took a huge risk against my rules ( first time I ever done this and I don't recommend it and I swear on my life I'll never do it again). Bought in this morning for 25 bucks buy in cash game, 0.10/0.25 blinds. I played all day, first 100 or so
hands didn't win much but didn't lose much either, played tight and aggressive at first, then loosened up a bit, but still was very conservative in certain situation, then came the first double up, then the second. then I had a crazy run of cards like aces, three times during 10 or 11 hands dealt. Got up to 135 dollars in a 25 dollars buy in cash game.
On rare occasions, is it ok to roll up your sleeves and go for the biggest game you can play in? cause, what I felt when I lost most of my
bankroll in a week, is that, if you keep all the time grinding small, your whole life becomes a ****ing grind. The guy who invented Poker was a COLD HEARTED BASTERD.
