Once AGAIN I tanked another bankroll on pokerstars :/ fml I'm worse than Isildur on my brm. Had like $110 and played some low stakes 6 player SNGs. Tried to Martingale it back and then failed a bitter tanked bankroll. At least I made Chrome star but who cares. Now I will be grinding the freerolls and Play Money tables But maybe I might request a Sunday Storm stake one day to build a bankroll again.
Hmmm let's see. I've cashed EVERY single time i've played the Sunday Storm, I have cashed, and have built a bankroll up from as little as TEN CENTS and made it up over $50. So yep! Seems pretty doable idk why the f*ck I was so stupid to hit Chrome in one night when I could have just been an intelligent player and manage my bankroll :S Oh well, maybe I should go for mob points now and hit that $50 we'll see. Cheers.
P.S.! I'm grinding the BRM freerolls as i speak. Never thought I'd see the day MEEE playing donkfest, limpfest tourneys.

That must be a lesson for you for your next poker career. Patience is a virtue and needed in poker. Cant hurt more that it actually did when you lost the whole bankroll. And the annoying thing is starting from scratch again. gl with it and have some self control

Thanks HAHA It's ok I don't play for money in a sense. I just want to build up a bankroll from micro stakes but i move too quick like 5 folding my bankroll in just a few days. Moving to 888Poker to give it a try! Was successful in Partypoker with mad profit, very unsuccessful at stars, but intend to keep BRM at 888Poker. I guess my real goal is to grind my way to HS poker on a site because i never withdrawal i head for the top. And use Partypoker as my source of income if I need because grinding $6 tourneys there is great!

G'day Jack
Have you read my thread about my having been an idiot and pissing away my entire bankroll. It was there to try and be an example to mobster to not make my mistake. tried to show by my own example that not using proper bankroll management was very very bad. Jack dude for the love of all that is holy learn from this mistake and start using bankroll management or you will never become a successful poker player long term.

I have the bad habit of going on those streaks myself, but manage to dig my way out. I've never lost a $100 in a night and I know it's not much, but for me to sit at home and play poker, lose a $100 it wouldn't go over well with myself.
It's really weird to! I mean of all the times I've went to Vegas and lost $1000 or $2000 in a night, but somehow I feel worse losing a $100 sitting at home playing on-line poker. Senseless!

one thing i could recommend you is never ever try martingale system. way safer method is to go for reverse martingale (double up only after a win, instead after a loss). ahh well on a positive note: u will have lots of time to grind the epic BRM freerolls.
and then failed a bitter tanked bankroll. At least I made Chrome star but who cares. Now I will be grinding the freerolls and Play Money tables 
But maybe I might request a Sunday Storm stake one day to build a bankroll again.
