Default Re: Well I\'ve hit Rock Bottom

30 hours a week for 2 years and 5k profit is about $2 an hour...surely you can get a better paying job than that?

The effect of the downswing means you're not mentally or financially prepared...if you cant accept that these runs (and some a lot lot worse) will (and should) happen and that the universe isnt against you, you are kidding yourself and that lack of honesty will cost you more in the long run.

Your added pressure from having no other income and an completely inadequate bankroll. I keep to 300 buy ins for SNGs and 100 for NL cash...some will undoubtedly say thats OTT, but I know myself and it just makes me FEEL safer which is a comfort during a downswing. I learned the hard way.

My advice is to get a job until your bankroll is so big that these bad runs dont affect you like this. Welcome the bad runs when they come, the next big upswing is just around the corner.

Bingo.
