So what you are saying is you play good cards.

And really bad ones too.

This is fairly normal variance.
This is bad bankroll management.
This is a player who really doesn't understand much.
This is probably someone who does not play a winning game....but possibly plays break-even poker.

Any time anybody says something like "I play good starting hands" then you know you have player who isn't very good. Anyone who thinks this is worth mentioning just doesn't understand winning poker.
Anyone who posts about how much money they have lost without mentioning the stakes or how many hands this has taken place over clearly doesn't "get it" either.

Excellent post, this should be stickied.

For now go bonus whore (Absolute has a big reload every few days and Bet365 has $150 bonus for october, these will give you a start to build up enough to play NL25. Don't play on a site unless you are actively whoring a bonus so that every cent of your rake comes back to you while you are building up a roll)

Doesn't he have to play the $1/$2 tables (limit) to clear the bonus? Seems kinda high for his bankroll.

This is the dumbest most mind numbing thread I have ever read in my life.

You're playing way above your bankroll. It was only a matter of time before you went broke or near broke.
