Out of the red.

[stupidsucker]

As many of you know I had hit a pretty deep slump.
Today marks a big day!

In late may I took a hit at the 55s losing 1k. Since then I dropped to the 22s, then the 11s, back to the 22s and back to the 11s... I have finally broken free from the hole I dug.

My last 100+ have been fair to me and my last 16 have been hot.

I am now up $12 since 5/21.

Losing 1k at the 55s isn't that bad. Heck, it's not even 20 buy-ins. Sounds like you moved up a little fast if you were worried about a 1k downswing at the 55s. Perhaps your bankroll wasn't healthy enough for that level. Nice job turning it around, however. You should probably stay down there for a while, until you have a more than adequate bankroll to move up again.

A reasonable assumption, but only half true.

I wasnt worried about a 1k downswing,
but thern I went on vacation
spent half my bankroll.

so I moved down to the 22s.

22s went poorly so I got stuck. I am aware that 20 buys at the 55s is no big deal. I had over a 5k BR when I was playing the 55s.

Congrats, I think that by PM'ing you, your broken luckbox was transmitted to me via the internet.

I just had my first losing 20 game stretch on the 11s over my last 400 games. (Luckbox was goot before that. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] )

I'm down a whopping $50 over my last 40 games. I blame you for this! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I might as well hide my own bad beat tale here where it wont be noticed.

I played 3 quals saturday:

First one was for a $530 wcoop seat, paid 5 seats, I got 6th.

Second one was for a $2600 wcoop seat, paid 2 seats, I got 3rd.

Third one was the $17000 Bellagio qual on empire, paid one seat, I got 2nd.

I was my only day in poker that I almost cried [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I would actually cry. This is horrible. Lately I'm usually busting around final two tables on those quals, so I can go to sleep with a big smile on my face. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I just wrote you a check for $27 and mailed it to you.

God that's brutal.

Congrats, it's a great feeling. Just last night almost finished climbing out from a 2-day, 45-buyin cooler I had a couple weeks ago, been running white-hot for the last few days, now down $12 since 8/12...

Maybe you should go pro . . . I kid only because I can sympathize with the uncertainty of it all.
