Well, first of all i want to explain that my english is really bad, i´m spanish and just study english a few years. If someone is able to translate this post to a "real english language" i think it would be better for all us.
Four days ago i register at bankrollmob.com, i had past some days looking for a free bankroll and this site seem the best. I joined to the Action Poker promotion and Yesterday i get my 40$ at action poker. I start playing NL6 and NL10 short stack, because my small bankroll can´t affor enter with more than 4$ (following the 10 buy in rule). I won some money faster ( about 2 hours) and go up to 100$, I have get more than 50 POP points then, at this time get the first 700 POP points to get 50$ bonus seem posible.
After diner i played again. I decide to try luck and use 10% of my roll (10$ cause my roll was 100$) and join in a NL100 table with 10$, because i want to get POP points faster to get the first 50$ bonus. That was amazing, i get some good hands and double it faster some times and 2 hours later i was seat at the same table with more than 300$ . I decide to go to bed, i have 400$ and more than 500 POPs points at that time.
This morning i continue playing NL100 and fixed 200 shortstack. I still wining $ and POPs points. I get the first 50$ and an hour later i also have the second half of the 100$ bonus. Actually i have played about 7 hours since i get the 40$, my bankroll is now biggest ever around 700$ and i have finish the first deposit bonus (1400 POP).
Some hour later i played again and become my 700$ in 7$...
I will still playing. Will i be able to win 700$ again?
I will write more tomorrow. I hope at least this blog seem interesting

So you lost nearly $700 in a few hours? What happened to your 10 buy in rule? NL100 and fixed 200 means you can bring $100 and $200 to the table? I guess that means I play NL25 but I like to play 3-4 tables at once cause its so boring otherwise. So you had $200 on the table, that's pretty crazy. What are the blinds?
I had a similar story; 3 times I got to $60, and tilt it away to $5 and than quit for the day and come back fresh next day. Than I build it back up and than lose it again. Than finally I build it to $650 and than I cashed out $450 and left $200 to play some more.
That's a shame mate, I think you should have took a break in cash games & moved to MTT. This is what I'm going to do if I have that kind of luck " switching ".

Bankrollmanagement for the win. With only 40 bucks it is difficult, but with your $700 bankroll you should have tried to apply it. Then you cant lose your whole money in a few hands.

As I told yesterday i had finish with 7$ in my bankroll. I saw that i have a lot of POPs points. I trade it for some $ and get around 10$. I played small limits again and go up to around 70$ before diner. After diner i still playing and won 50$ more. That´s put my bankroll in 120$. I decide to play MTTs. I joined to 11$ 1000$ guaranted. I reach the final table with more than half of the tournaments chips (55K of 98K), and i reach the HU with 85k chips and my oponent just 13K, but i lose 3 all ins (33 vs 22, AJ vs A4 and K9 vs A6) 2 big badbeats and one flip, that was bad luck, but at least i had won 240$ from second place!!. That put my roll in more than 350$. I have played some hands this morning and now it is around 400$. Nice come back!!!!!

seems like u have learned nothing from your former loss ... 11$ MTT with 120$ BR ?!? you still have no BRM at all and you will go down again ... i mean gratz for your winnings but poker is a whore and if you get too cocky she will rape you again and again and u wont be lucky all the time !
