as my affiliate once told me: Losing significant chunks of your bankroll is good for your soul, just dont make a habit of it."

i hear coke+hookers is also an effective way to kill a bankroll

i was up to 350 from my 50$ deposit and then crashed down to 6 bucks.. took that 6 bucks and played a sng and never looked back im now up to over 4000 9 months later.. my displine got much better after almost losing it all

You know, you COULD have built that $200 back up to $450, and beyond . . . it's a shame you wimped out and left.

Last year I took a shot at 10/20 when my luck was crappy at 5/10 and I wanted to Make Money Back In A Hurry. Oooh that was a bad mistake. A good $1000+ mistake.

I did take a shot at what I perceived to be a soft 15/30 game once, but only stuck around for an orbit, as I realized I was playing way way way way way way way too scared. My bankroll may officially be able to weather a 100BB hit, but psychologically it would have been hell.

here are a few ways.

No, I've never put 60% of all the money I have won into a game I need roughly 10x the bankroll for. Don't do it again and you will be fine.

I had a similar situation, but not quite as bad. I built up about $400 from my initial $100 deposit playing .5/1. Then I got impatient and moved up to 2/4. I stayed pretty much even for a week or so, then I ran into a bunch of bad cards and/or bad playing and wiped out almost $200. I'm going to go back down to .5/1 for a while [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I think everyone should have a formula for moving up/down in levels such that you never totally blow your all of your bankroll. I'm playing with other people's money now, and I plan to keep it that way.
