Hey boys and girls - tell about massive swings that affected you :D

Long long time ago........
My biggist swing took place over 6 days.
I had 20$ in my bankroll.

Day 1 - Played a 40 man 8$ sng and a 10$ 10man fifty fifty.
I won both and had like 70$.

Day 2 - i sat myself down at a 9 man ringgame25c/50c with 50$
Was playing super nitty and after 3-4 hours i had 250$

Day 3 - sat down at 9 man ringgame 1$/2$ with 200$ and playing super nitty again.
At the end of the day i had 550$

Day 4 - i sat down at 9 man ringgame 5$/10$ with 550$ and continued to play nitty.
At the end of the day i had 3300$
I was extatic, i was goin to get super rich!
Poker is blipping easy money!!

Day 5 - There was no 9 man ringgame 5$/10$ available as i intended to play that day
So instead i joined a 6 max ring game 10$/20$ with 2000$.
Not used to the more agressive 6 max style i got smashed up badly and ended
the day a 1200$ :eek:

Day 6 - Now i wanted my money back, so i entered a 9 man ringgame 5$/10$ but
still with the 6 max agression style in my blood. that was a huge mistake.
I went down to 220$ and then i stopped

I was feeling sick for 2-3 days, litteraly sick to my stomach, dizzy and out of myself.
How did i throw away 3300$? :dontknow:

I finally got over it, and started to focus more on bankroll management :rolleyes:
At least i had 200$ profit at the end.

That was my little story of Ups N Downs - you got any to share? :D:D

yep you need BRM and cool down a bit (maybe to minus272.7c ?)
I don't have this (yet) as I have no bankroll and very limited skills, so I stick to freerolls.
Intention is to move up only when:
- bankroll allowes AND
- I'm sure there is a reasonable chance that I'm a winning player at the new level
Disadvantage of the above: winning coins, not banknotes so far.

Yeah, that was insane bankroll management, a textbook example how no to do :D
Ive cooled alot down since that happened. Today, bankroll management is my
main priority.
