Posted by T3ddyKGB: lol i was gonna make a similar thread. one guy started with $0 to $xxx, now daily comes a new challenge thread. ok i challenge you - will do that in half the time.
wonder if someone brave enough to make $1k into $0 in 3 weeks?
I did $1K to $0 in about 6 hours a few weeks ago on PKR. Was great. My whole roll. Although, I admit I built it from $50 to $1k in 2 days..So it wasn't exactly months of work trashed. Still $1k. But when you get it playing like that, it really is easy come easy go.
I always tell myself, I'll build it quick like that, so I can play with proper BRM once I hit a nice roll for NL50. But I never do I keep playing, NL100, nl200, nl400 etc until busto.
This happend to me aswell, but now my Bankrollmanagement is very tight and my poker knowledge increased, too. I've definitely learned my lesson and I am very happy about that, because now I dont fear any downswing(variance), it comes and goes, and I'm almost weekly climbing up the stakes.
If you want to move up fast, then start getting used to multitabling, its far better than playing over your Bankroll.
Yeah I know. I'm stuck in a hard place with that though.. I like playing on PKR, but it is terrible for multi table. For starters, my computer barely handles 1 table.. Plus, PKR doesn't have cards visible for you, so multi-tabling requires going to each table and "peeking" at cards, can be hectic.
I could switch rooms, but I feel commited to PKR now. Because you don't lose loyalty level I have benefits there now. Plus, always clearing a bonus lol.

lol i turned 20$ into 2100$ on titan poker. but i only got to cash out 600$ cuz i started playing the 100+9 tournaments and such. and when AK offsuit and AK suited cracks my AA, well safe to say i had the opposite of luck in those tournaments, also this idiot kept raising when the blinds got big in another one and he raised for the 3rd hand in a row i knew he had s**t, he had 14K i had just under 20K he raises to 3K im in the bigblind with AQ suited i reraise to 7.5K and he goes allin with K4, claiming he thought i would fold. all i could say is ROFL. of course he hits a fullhouse and probably went on to a top 5 finish when first place was over 4 grand. some players claim to be unlucky, i consider myself extremely unlucky then only cashing out 600$ off 20$ , most would call that lucky, but that was pure skill and my hands holding up, but damn 1500$ went away fast.

i am waiting for them to verify my account on playersonly poker. but i have been waiting for about a week and a half.. the bubble busting i dunno... i have tried both sitting back and shoving in but i get busted either way... i can have AA or a Full house and i will get busted... i dunno what to do.
10 dollers is a ridiculously small bankroll. Losing it in a week isn't that bad. With 10 dollers, u can't even realistically practice tried and true bankroll managment since even at the lowest limit, it's still going to cost u 10 percent to sit down @ most sites I've been to.
You alway lose. How can it possible? Everytime I read a post from you it's about money loss. Where do you play ? It's possible you make a gift to me too
Well after 1K hands yesterday at NL10, i was up $20, such a slow night, then went & lost all of that in 3 hands, rebought for another $10, ended up losing that aswell, thanks to some CRAZY donk calling station
u can loose much more if u have
