now i'm kinda back, but will try to play less hours...smaller sessions.
today made 14.75$ from 40 fpp on stars....
1rst entered a 13 fpp tournament ,sattelite to 1 $ for juli coming juli event on pokerstars..and made the 1rst dollar...
then tried 1 more time ,same tournament,,,failed.. then played a 5fpp rebuy sattelite to win 10+1 $ and also failed...
then entered a 0.22 ct rebuy ,a 0,25ct (45player sng) and a 0,50ct (90 plyer sng)
won a ticket at this 0.22ct and got me 3.75 $ in the 90 sng...
moved to single table sng fifty-turbo 1.5 dollar and some hyper-Hu 1,5dollar..went up and down...
but finaly came over the 10$ line...won a fifty-turbo ,holding 7000 chips..which tripled my 1.5 $
beat a lot of guys at HU,,, and finaly played a 0.55+0.5 rebuy satelite to win 5.50 Dollar ticket ..and that was a succes also...
by the time i had reached 14.75$ it was time for supper and i logged out...played around 3-4 hours with a grocery shopping break in between..
soooo easy to make 15$ from 1 .but soooo hard it seems to make 150$ from 10...
or 1500 from 100$ ...
good thing i had not played for a week... felt so fresh at the tables...and had some nice winning hands as well....holding A-A at final table being BB ,and chipleader shoves his stack to me..making me chipleader ...nice thing do happen at poker...lol

As i see other posts of yours, try to set goals, atm your doin this and that and this ect. Standard play, standard bankrollmanagement, everything standard, try to build your roll steady and not turbo then bust then skyhigh turbo and repeat busto.

that's my story,, i did learn to play deasent poker, but still haven't learned all the other neccesaties to be more succesfull...
most disturbing,,is the fact that everybody in my RL ,,dislikes poker,but me...
i got no fans ,only people telling me to spend my time in a better way...
bye the way ,,,at this moment i just took a rest after playing all night long...and got little profit...
shipped a 1.5 $ / 18 player sng-turbo at stars...playing 2 other SNG's at the same time...running deep almost itm...then it happened..
A-Q all inn, called by chipleader holding 2-4 suited spades and ofcourse i lost..
1 minute later other table i raise from the SB with 9-Q suited ,get called by 5-7 ofsuit,,,flop comes a Q but also a 7 and the river is a 5,,thnk u pokergods...
anyway ,i went HU after that double disaster and won 4 in a row..hyper and turbo..mixed it up a bit...so now at 22$ and only need 4.9 vpp's to release my next 50$ vip-stellar award..
hope i make it before tommorow...and without a deposit ofcourse..
thnx for the feedback doomdy,,,i try ,,but will try harder...

yep poker is unpredictable- you can easily create a bankroll from nothing, but plain air (with freerolls) and then one beautiful sunny afternoon blow up your entire bankroll good luck growing your seed man- update us how your bankroll is doing with time- maybe it's gonna be plain sailing all the way to the million

yeah that was begin of this week ,just 1 day...i was not allowed to withdraw/cashout because i have not made a first deposit yet .. so i got a little pissed and stepped on the gaspedal over there...do or die...
and i was at several cashtables..up to 0.10/0.25 also sponsored ayaraled some euro's on omaha..
from the moment i sat at the tables with ayaraled ,the downswing started and i lost 2 all-inns both for around 16-19 euro's..

Sometimes we got to give space to the game, shut the pc down and went for “poker vacations”. Probably when we get back we will be applying much better all the concepts that we have about the game, which means we will be playing better, with the clean head, far from tilt times and, even if we loose, it will not be so heavy as it would bei f it was after six months of continuous playing.

Even if its a break of one week but one that normally you dont take, coming back and winning some money always feels good. Play controlled, set a goal and you can make it. gl
