That's a bad beat bro, but i don't play high stakes, still haven't got the roll. anyway, you should have walked away when you tilted and you might have saved some of your cash then just play to make it grow again.

Wow amazing story im sad for your loss....what a nasty suckout. But like you said you knew you were playing out of bankroll so it's hard to tell you what to do. Seems like you know what you are doing so your game is not the fault it is simply that you play out of roll. No matter how good you become you will allways get suckouts and because of that it is allmost imposible to build a bankroll without somekind of bankrollmanagement. If you step up everytime you win, you will be playing with total roll everytime which meens you can't take a badbeat so what about downswings (several bad beats in a row). I think you have to find out if you wan't to deposit once a while and try to make into something big quick or you want to play regularly....if so you will need to use BRM. Hope you understand me

Just because he made $900 in one day then it doesn't mean that he will make that every day , and going to the university still sounds like a good idea. I'm allso studying at a university and I wouldn't give it up even if I made $900 a day! what would you do in 5 years time!? I know I would get bored

ok, from your story i think yes you did play out of your bankroll but what a position to be in, top set V bottom set?? i would love to get all my money in, in that situation, asides from playing out of your roll you did nothing wrong.

I dont know why youre doing it man, but i get the feeling its like some FPS to you, you must get to next level or time will run out. I dont know how can someone play $24 buyin SNG with your bankroll. Just dont get it. Im sorry too for your badbeat, but playing like this will get you nowhere. Most important thing in playing poker is knowing when to call it a day and stop playing. Im still having problems with that and i do think that lots of guys (and girls) have the same problem, some kind of gamblers curse. You can look on not losing money as money being earned if you stop playin when flops do their thing. Go down in limits at least until youre back on track.

yea im gonna change from now on. feels like my downswing is gone and im going back to grinding 0.10/0.25 with 10$ buy in... I am making some rules now 5 buy ins down I will call it a day...
Took 6 buyins yesterday in 45 min and I feel really good about 0,10/0,25 and I think I will hit 500$ in the end of the month..
