Kinda stuck and wondering what i should do. I went bankroll bust at pokerstars agin (lol) i know playing 0.10-0.25 rush with only 50$ is dumb. Anyways gonna make a deposit of 50$ now. Should i stay at starsand grind out my hyper turbos or does party poker or fulltilt have something to offer? Better games, worse players ect. I tend to play well for a week or too winning and then get bored and lose it all playing out of my limits. So i do make frequent deposits, does party still offer alot of deposit bonuses?
------------ Main issue with party is there attached to the casino. And unicorn legends is my soft spot

Well you reconise and understand you weakness regarding the casino, sso therefore might be a good idea to stay away if poker is what you want to play poker.
Now you state $50 is dumb, i beg to differ. By the sounds of it if it was $50 or $500 you would still lose it. Look at the good players here, For example the go in Duck Pokerleaderboard and see how much they have won, and it cost them nothing.

True. Im not a cash player or a xoom player at that. I think my strong point is the hyper tournys and should stick to them. The downswings can be hudge and chasing loses is an amature mistake i should kmow better. Eather way im back atter now see how this week goes
------------ When i hit rush i had every intention of getting all my money in with the forst good hand i hit. And i did lol whay can ya do. Maybe this ol boy needs a blog or something so i can track my wins and loses and set goals instead of redepositing once a week. Or maybe look imto a trainer or do do some yoga to keep focused on building a roll instead of thinking its jist another 50$

Yes mate i love the hypo turbo's myself Now from a gambling point of view all i can say is spot on, you understand a lot and can see where you are going wrong. You need to have a tiger fight inside to win. Instead of this I'll just deposit again, that promotes very bad play ( i learnt the hard way myself doing exactly the same ) Keeping record is a good thing and maybe what you need. I find Hypo Turbo and Head to Head are my best playing tables.
I think you need to ask yourself this and see which one you want 1. do i play poker for fun and to pass time or 2. do i want to make a weekly income out of poker
If it is that later you need to find what suits you in table wise. And i dont want to offend anybody with saying this but feck me dont bother aiming for $1.50 or $2.00 a day ( i would not even start my computer for that ) lets say i had a $100 bankroll, I would most likely play 1 or 2 heads up $10 table. therefore roughtly you would have to lose 10 games to clear out my bankroll. I would most likely understand then i am a s**t player and probley quit.Winning 1 a day and you $10 in front Personally how i would do it is i would play 1 a day if i won that it $10 profit if lost 1 would take my chance and play 1 more. If i win i get my momney back, if i lose it was a bad day and forget about it and try again tomorrow.

I guess with your aproach to the game, the room where you play makes no real difference. Maybe it is best to cash out and redeposit a minimum on a regular basis. So you can only blow a limited amount of money, when you want to gambool.

I absolutely agree with this statemant. You have a problem with casino and you are loosing money in poker - at least in the long run. So if you can not stay away from both, then try to limit your losses in poker.

Only one thing is for sure. Dont play in a site where you can blow your money away in slots. Take a no deposit bonus in some casino's, dont matter if they are trusted or not, just to waste some time there and get bored. Then go and play your poker games

Ending the night with 46 games played and a bankroll of 43.98. Down a little but considering it a good day i had a low of 18$ at one point after a massive downswing but managed to get back in there.

Spot on Shokaku, you understand what your talking about, I do that with my punting. I deposit everyday For example I deposited $50 yesterday pulled out $100 and left myself $27. If i kicked with the $27 then i would withdrawal again and so on. But hey i lost the $27 ( but some days i can have 5 or 6 withdrawals ) I find this way very successfull. Might be worth listening and trying out what Shokaku is saying

Lol im really not concerned about goin bust as u clearly pointed out lol i can afford to deposit frequently but as some point it would be nice to play higher limits woth money i earned and not jist deposited. Another weakness of mine is the fact im playing micro games, losing 1.50$ a game or winning 5$ a game really makes no difference to me. When i play higher limits with bigger payouts thats when i play my A game. Anyways gotta start at the bottem n learn discipline eventually or ill never grow. But atleast i know my faults and weaknesses

When you think of it that way you're never gonna go anywhere. But think of it this way: You win an average of $1.00/game. Play 20 games in one day, that's a profit of $20. Do that for 30 days and you'll have $600 in profit. Doesn't that one dollar a game sound a little bit better now?

Thats a good way of thinking about it. Gonna try and work on my attitude of the game in a whole and set goals for myself. I also find myself playing for hours (7-9) at a time and sometimes am bored and dont wanna play. Could be another downfall and shiuld quit when im not in the poker state of mind. Its gonna be a work in progress for sure but i am definitely learning my faults slowly now to improve on them. Having a community like this to talk and work with its definitely a possitive edge for me
to keep focused on building a roll instead of thinking its jist another 50$
