Terrible, just lost $65 on Action Poker. Down to $8. I know I shouldn't play cause I got no sleep last night...Oh well, I wasn't playing bad though. They just hit their flush and 4 outter straight everytime I hit my 2 pair or set..Oh well, saved $8 for when I feel better.
what did you play, sng or ring, and if ring did you ever consider dropping down limits once you lost like 30 dollars, i think anytime your bankroll halves its a good time to drop limits, but it can be really hard to when you have such a small roll to begin with, and your action poker roll my not be indicative of your roll in general

lol, thanks guys I was playing 10 cent, 25 cent. I think I should have quit after I lost ~$30 but its hard to.
I played a little more today, just playing the .05, .10 games. Got it to $25 but than lost with aces and missed like 8 flush draws, oh well. At $13 and 231 points, whats everyone else at?

Thanks Calmplay,
I was playing a little too aggressive. Trying to get that pop point finished faster. I've only went broke at 2 pokerrooms where I got free money. DMH Poker and Stykke Poker(can't remember how to spell it).
it's hard playing nl25 when you have around 50$ or less, I always lose free money cause I'm bad luck player and whenever I play in a new room I'm being outdrawn each big hand, this is sick

I usually lose money when I play cash games. They're different than tournaments, I find they're too aggressive in cash game and always bet me out of draws and when I have a big hand, I either win small pots or lose big ones.
if you dont like ring where do you make most of your money, if its in SnG then i understand, but if you are a consistent MTT player then hats off to you. MTT has such horrid swings because of how many times in a row you can not cash.

i won 2/2 12+1$ sngos, played some 0,50/1$ cashgames and now i am at 250$ 420 POP points. in my opinion these guys there are the worst players i have ever seen, easy to read. but extremely dangerous: they like draws, i saw crazy guys there, the first one called an 80$ all in wit Q2 (no pair) flush draw into a 10$ pot and hit his flush, a second one went all-in with 170$ with just a 9 high flush draw against a raise and a 70$ reraise all-in and and hit his flush against top top and middle set.
you can steal a lot of semi pots against these guys, very easy to outplay them, but if they have a draw, they call everything, no matter what others are betting or the board is showing.
so keep it up m8, you just need to stay away from getting extremely unlucky, then the actionguys will give your money back to you.
p.s. try to play some sngos, these guys are so rocky (in contrast to the actiongroup which plays cashgames) that i had the feeling that everything which is not the nuts is getting folded immediately by them...

SCDossett, I've mostly played 9 man sngs. I seem to do the best in those.
kewinn7, I noticed a lot of bad players on Action Poker. I went all in one hand with ace queen and a guy called $10 more with 10,8 offsuit. Luckily I won that hand. I'll play some $12 sngs once I get $70-$80 or so. GL to you too, how many points are you at?
