Ok, now it's all green, I need to update. Also, shameless bump.

You're playing way above your bankroll again. You're going to lose it all, stop it! Seriously, based on what you said you were down to before, I don't see how you have the roll to be playing 25/50.

Edit: And now that I see this is mostly HU and 3-handed, I feel pretty safe in saying that you almost definitely do not have the roll to be playing. Stop it now, your'e just being greedy. Seriously, you can make a ton of money playing 5/10 rebuilding your roll, playing 25/50 this soon is crazy. You're just trying to make it all back as fast as possible and you are most likely going to get burned.

He followed a huge fish to 25/50. He's not playing above his bankroll. 11k is plenty for 10/20.

Yeah, but its not plenty for 25/50. Following a huge fish to a stake way above your bankroll is very dangerous. That fish could easily have taken him for his entire 10/20 roll. Variance in HU is ridiculous. Moves like that will cost him his roll.

I've learned my lesson. I set a 10BB loss limit. Losing it would've meant nothing. I can't pass up a hugely +EV opportunity.

So long as you set a limit. You really would have quit if you lost the first hand?

If it makes you feel any better, I've gone from $70 to $1. I feel your pain.

It's mostly HU and 3-handed, sometimes 4 or 5 handed.

Oh.

I think I was a bit effusive in my first post. I assumed this was at either 6-max or full, and you were running an experiment at "DERBing" it up.

I mean, still, good job. Just misunderstood what was going on.
