This sort of catastrophic situation is part of why I bother to keep a metric [censored] ton of bonus stacked at sites where they don't expire.

Bonuswhore (Poker/Casino) your way to like 4-5k (or more) easily in less than one months time. Nothing easier.

Sup dude... I think it's healthy that you get this out of your system. Bad beat posts are alright as long as they're infrequent. Take a few days off if you have to. You'll come back stronger than ever.

Default Update

I played some 2/4 and 3/6, ran bad to $800. I decided to play $22 SNGs. I ran bad some more, lost 7 or 8 in a row and at one point, my balance was around $600. Then I won and won and won and won. I won 3 in a row, got 2nd and 3rd in the next two. I played the rest of the day and finished at around $1400. I went back to where I feel my game is strongest, SH limit and set a loss limit of $400 for myself at 3/6 6max. I ran good. A few days and a couple thousand hands later, I had 3k.

I felt like I was playing very well. I was betting and folding at all the right times. I took the 3k and decided to take a 50BB shot at 5/10. I came up a few hundred at first, but then got crushed badly and quit at around 2500. I've been grinding at 3/6 for a bit and, counting rakeback, I will have 4250. I think I will take another shot at 5/10 soon.

Thanks for all the support.

I started playing some shorthanded and HU 5/10. I run good and play a lot. I've been playing, at a minimum, 1k hands a day. My roll is now a healthy 7k online so that's plenty for 5/10 and hopefully will be enough for 10/20 again soon.

Yay!

Since someone bumped, might as well update. Up to 15k now and happily playing 10/20 + 15/30.
