OT: So there goes my bankroll...

[davehwm]

I think this is a signing off post, more than anything.

I know that none of you want to hear my bitching, so I'm really not going to bitch. Just lay out the situation and possibly ask for advice.

A little over year ago I started grinding out bonuses at .5/1. Got my bankroll up to $330 and started playing the $11s. Kept so-so stats and beat them for a measly 14% ROI over 800 games or so.

Started playing the $22s and didn't keep stats, for a number of reasons (none of which are probably very good ones). Took that $330 well to over $3500 in a couple of months, pretty consistently winning, 2-tabling mostly, never suffered any kind of major swing. Cashed out quite a few times and last month took a shot at the $33s with about $1000.

Dropped about 15 buy-ins in a matter of a week and moved back down to the $22s. Looking back on it, I probably tilted away a good portion of the rest of the bankroll. Played the $11s for about a week but was so bored/frustrated that I basically gave up.

I'm not a very good card player, in general. I had played semi-decent push-fold poker, had plenty of leaks, played on a pretty big heater for a few months, handled a downswing poorly and have a big fat .36 cents in my Party account right now. I thought I knew what I was doing, but I really didn't. It's almost like I forget how I used to play at the $22s when everything was going so well.

Now that I've typed all of this out, I don't even think I need advice. I could put $100 of my own money back in and start grinding out the bonuses again, but I don't know if it's even worth my time. It's kind of hard to just start all over again.

If any of you want to give me any advice, go ahead. But I think I'm just signing off and saying thanks for all of the posts. I never made as much of an effort on these boards as I should of and I know my game suffered because of it.

I'm just another one of Irieguy's predictions, here one day and gone the next.

Take care.
