Breaking Liberty 0 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Welcome to the first stage in becoming a better poker player: Loosing your entire bankroll.See what happens when you cheat your limits? It's not very fun is it? No, it's not.I know, I've been there. I was just there, a few months ago. I lost $500 in less than a week. That was my entire bankroll that I had worked so hard to build up from a $100 deposit. And I lost it all in a fraction of the time it took me to acquire it.I stopped playing online poker for three months after that.So take a break from online poker. Only you can determine how long you need to take. Then, learn what the fuck bankroll management is. You don't know what it is or your choosing to ignore it. Either way it is an equation for failure.And stop saying your going to kill yourself. No one wants to hear that shit. Link to post Share on other sites
Andyec 0 Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 i can't believe i did that. at the start of the night i had 700 and now my account reads 0.00. i want to cry. Link to post Share on other sites
bulldog999 0 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 What can you do? You were obviously playing well within your bankroll. Pour some gasoline on yourself and the rest of this thread will probably finish the job. Link to post Share on other sites

Â i'm killing myself. Â censored this.Do you know how much $500 is in the scheme of things? Almost nothing.Do you know the current value of your life? It's more than $500.Killing yourself is -ev.If you need something to add some value to your life, this is how you forum curse: Type the first few letters of the word, in your case "fu", then press the italics button twice, so you get a [i ][/i ] after it, then type "ck"See, doesn't life seem better already?

Andyec 0 Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 I started on 2/2/05 with $75...turned it into $2300 in 3 weeks. Won another $4k after that. Lived on it for 6 months. Then lost my last 700 and now I am to the felt. So overall I made 5800. That's pretty cool, but I could've done better. I'm drinking whiskey until I die. Link to post Share on other sites
Socko669 0 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Every poker player, particularly the great ones, has gone broke.The question is...will you learn from it?If you answer yes, then you have the right attitude to learn how to be a long term winning player.If you answer no, quit playing poker.

Breaking Liberty 0 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I just realized myself tonight, after having several 40-65 BB downswings, that I can do this. That I am a good player, and I know how to beat these tables.When I loose that much, I get scared. Scared that I can't go pro one day, scared that I can't win at poker, scared that I am unlucky or just don't know enough to beat these games.But I understand that it is my brain trying to protect me from pain, similar to a way that it will try to protect you from touching a hot stove.Remember when you are a child and your parents tell you all the time: "Don't touch the stove. Don't do it!" And sooner or later, when they aren't looking, you touch it. It is the most excruciating pain you have ever felt, and your brain makes sure that you never touch it again to protect you from being hurt again. Every time you see a stove after that, you slow down and make sure you don't touch the hot parts.Well it's the same in poker; your brain is trying to protect you from being hurt again. But poker, like some of the best things in life, is full of pain.The mark of a true champion, not just in poker but in life, is someone who stands back up after they were just kicked down and says to himself: "I'm not going to let this unfortunate event hold me down, I'm going to learn from my mistakes and keep going forward no matter how much it hurts and no matter what anyone says."So ask yourself: What do you want? Do you want to go forward and achieve your dream, or do you want to give up and fade away; becoming dust in the wind. Link to post Share on other sites

jayboogie 0 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 No Offense, but if losing $500 or whatever you lost really bothers you that much, I don't think you should continue playing, unless it's as a hobby.I'm always reading these stories about somebody dropping like a few hundred and now have no bankroll, not to burst your bubble, but you never really had one to begin with. You need to have an emotional detachment to money if your going to become successful at poker, so you should stop looking at being up or down X amount of dollars and more along the lines of how well you are playing. I honestly couldn't tell you how much I'm up or down for a given period, because I don't keep track. It's really not all that important either, because I'm in it for the long run and I know I'm beating the games, which means I'll be able to turn a profit when it's all said and done.I don't know maybe I'm out of touch with most of you guys though, I started playing at 10/20 when I first started(I'm a sicko), so I guess I've got more gamble in me than most people . Regardless, once you've gone through some crazy swings (ie. Winning 10k in a week and losing 10k in the next week), you get past the money part of the game and concern yourself with other things.
