   Online Bankroll- Waving the white flag

   If you think you have had it bad Check this out!!!

   Hey whats up everybody is play good for you? Well to sum it up instead of going to bed at 4am (by not being tired) I proceeded to lose 99% of my bankroll. Now I am below 100 dollars and thinking about just getting back to just over even and then not playing anymore online and think about where to go from here. Right now I don't know if my psyche is there to maintain a live bankroll so I am most likely going to do is go to La center play 3/6 win a couple hundred at a time then just use it towards expenses for the month and admit defeat in hold em.

   I know that multiple times I was told don't play outside of your bankroll and I paid the ultimate lesson. I know your going to read this and say how does that happen? it just does, I really can't explain it so this might be the last post I will give in a bit. I will always really love to play this game but I just won to much money to fast and paid for it and it is a lesson learned so now the money that is left is for to be even whenever that happens until next time don't do what I did and may all your pots be monster.

   • Keep your head, don't get down and be smart! Play within your means.

   • Tough break, man. At least you were only in for $400... And remember, the average hourly rate for even an easy 3/6 game isn't going to be more than $10, so if you expect to get up with even $100 in profit each session, that might be a bit optimistic.

     Don't get too down on yourself. I suggest having some live tournaments for cheap to continue to enjoy the game but not risk a bunch of money. You'll get out of your funk and be playing again in no time :)

   • Man, I've been there and done that.

     Why not try your luck in some online multi-table tournaments for smaller buyin's like 10 or 20 bucks. If you cash the payouts will put your right back where you were.

     lol, good luck

   • This is a cheap lesson that could cost anybody thousands later on if they didn't find out what I did. I am very thankful for that and Kalib I will let you know how it goes sharing a roll with Jonas.
