I just demolished my Pacific bankroll
Tried to take a shot at a higher limit and got my ass kicked. Some horrid beats, followed by tilt and bad play, and then some more beats, and then some more tilt and bad play. Had 2400 in my Pacific account before the disaster and now have 1200 and a broken keyboard. I smashed it into about 50 pieces. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Just got back from Walmart with my new keyboard and am just praying that I can remember how to win again. Thinking about going out and getting a stink job that pays 10 bucks an hour makes me want to kill myself. Total bankroll is still over 10k, but that's not all dedicated to poker since that's everything. Just going through that type of loss was just such a nightmare for me. I don't handle it very well, and I should work on my anger management. Anyway, I'm not trying to get sympathy, but sometimes it just feels better to say something out loud to people that have gone through the same sht as you. Take care and gl all. thanks for putting up with me

To make matters worse, I proceeded to try to recoup my loss in the stock market today, and daytraded like a fking goon and lost another 600. Tilt sucks man.

Re: I just demolished my Pacific bankroll
Self control is more important than knowing what cards to play. If you dont have that don't bother playing cards as pro. A true pro is ultra-tight with his or her bankroll....

[/ QUOTE ] Good advice lefty, joedot, it applies to both cards and trading, make sure your bankroll is adequate for both so that you can easily handle the drawdowns for both. Play within your bank roll. 300 or so bb for limit, 30 buyins for NL rings, no more than about 3% of your current roll for trading/trade, adjusting as up or down as you win or lose. Losses should roll off like water off a ducks back. One Straight at a Time wdbaker Denver, Co |

Re: I just demolished my Pacific bankroll
What limit were you playing at? 1,200 in a day at 15-30 is nothing

Re: I just demolished my Pacific bankroll
With 10k (now 9400?) to your name, you are playing with fire. Playing mid limit hold em on this amount of funds is a big risk...and this assumes you're a winning player. Take a deep breath and don't play over your head. Your total bankroll is the total you can safely play with, NOT living expenses. It's quite easy to lose a few grand or more on a bad run at 15-30. Good luck.

Re: I just demolished my Pacific bankroll
I guarantee you will lose your entire bankroll in some sort of gambling venture. You clearly do not have the self control or discipline to be a winning gambler, including poker.
