how to kill your bankroll
well after playing very paciently the past couple months...i worked my initial deposit of 100$ up to 750$ playing .5/1 and 1/2 ..................then sunday happened....while trying to clear an ultimatbet bonus i went on TILT big time! ..... stupid me took $450 to a 10/20 game and lost it all...ive never had problems doing stupid things like this before..ugh...atleast i didnt lose it all. I cashed out 200 and kept 100 to switch over to party and play 5+1's for a while(about a month is my plan) until i feel like going back to 1/2. when the time comes im going to deposit what ever it takes to make my online BR $600 ...... ugh...any of yall ever done really dumb things like this???

Re: how to kill your bankroll
haha, I haven't done anything like this.
I find it interesting that people do this. I'm glad you made this post. I thought moving to 5/10 with only 400 BB was a ballsy move. Jumping to 10/20 with only 22 BB, now that is balls.

Re: how to kill your bankroll
When I first discovered online poker a few years back, I would invariably play way above my bankroll and experience level. Tilt can easily destroy your discipline; it probably took me a year of doing things like this to realize I was screwing up (this forum helped alot). It sucks when it happens, hopefully you won't do it again. I'm sure alot of people have made this exact same mistake, I laugh at myself now when I think back on it.

Re: how to kill your bankroll
Sorry that you tilted off yor bankroll. Listen, you made a terrible mistake but it only cost you really $100. Many mistakes in life are much more costly. If you have learned your lesson and don't repeat this mistake then you may be better off in the longrun.
Best of luck. Colgin

Re: how to kill your bankroll
I've done similar things before. You might not believe me now, but it's going to be good for you in the long run. Something about the way you tick hates losing, and when you lose you don't want to get it back slowly and patiently. This experience is going to help you not make the same mistake when it can cost you more than a measly $450.
Good luck, Justin A
