After a great while in not such a good mood to do anything really, getting a divorce, blowing all my online bankroll and pretty much giving up on optimism, I have made a comeback.
For the divorce, I have begun enjoying my freedom... and that has no price. Been going everywhere, travelling, engaging in some exciting body swap with amazing women. No complaints here!
For the job, I have joined a fantastic group and we are now launching a great company... very promising.
For online poker, I have received a $50 loan from a good friend and in a couple of hours managed to transform $50 into $800. Not bad for a returning player who has always seen online poker as a video game.
For live poker, which is the only thing thata kept me going, everything is excellent. I continue going to our underground clubs and homes and managed to keep myself on top of the game.
Basically I would like to share with all of you that there is always a turnaround, a comeback, a return, a triumph. Never give up on your dreams.

Thanks for the comments.
Over 1K now.
As for bankroll management, I definately do, but not for online fun. The experts will cruficy me on this one, but I have developed my own online management style. I don't recommend it to anyone who is just starting out because if you don't know what you are doing and can't accept a bad beat you can go broke quite quickly.
Just remember that this was created for people who are looking for a good ride and fun times, not recommended for those who are really trying to build a roll the safest way possible; slow and steady.
Ok, at the beginning, buy-in for half of your bankroll at any stake you feel confortable in.
After that, the strategy basically works around 2 choices;
- Stop when you've lost half of the day's profit.
So, if you start with $50 and make it to let's say... $100, you should stop the session when you hit $75
- Stop when you've won 200% profit.
So if you started with $50, stop the session at $150. If by any chance you make like $167, have fun with your extra $17 and sky is the limit, but do not touch the other $150 for that session.
Of course you don't have to stop only when you've reached the 200% profit, any profit is good, but for those who want to play more, just have some control even if you are in fact winning constantly and stop at 200%.
After you turn that $50, let's say, over $350, you don't have to buy-in for half of your roll, but do buy-in for at least $75 to start the session.
It is very important that if you lose that initial buy-in for the day, STOP the session. You will not have any profit for the day, but at least you don't steam and risk losing even more for the day.
Once again I remind you that this strategy is not intended for new players, but those who are confident with their game, who play the same regardless if they have an enormous bankroll or not.
As for my starting $50, in less than 1 day made over 1K. Of course I didn't stop after the 200% profit, but not because I am insane or a hipocrit, but because like the example above, my $17 extra ended up giving me a profit of $750. There is no doubt that I would have stopped at $150 for the day.
