At poker770 i got that $7.70 no deposit free and registered on a $5.50 buy-in freezeout MTT with 3k guraanteed and finished 8 cashing 50$ after being the hole tourney on the top 3. Got busted by cheapleader and final winner on a 7-7-9 flop me having poket 6's and him with pocket 9's.
After that went to play some full ring cash game on micro limits but all tables where full and the nice juicy ones where with waiting lists of 4 or 5 players so I just thought I could make some winnings playng heads-up since i had obtain pretty good results on $5.50 heads-up sNg. This time i choosed cashed game 0.05/0.10. End up giving away 40 bucks to this guy who would just hit everything. Gut shots when i had top 2 pair. Sets when i had top pair, flushes on the river when i had top pair, and so..
The last 10 bucks where invested on a 10+1 frezeout MTT where i was busted after the first break.
I think that over-confidence + a bad streak + Tilting made me loose everything.Sometimes u have to learn through the tough way as it has happen to me several times now.

It happens man, I always come across one guy at a table who is just pwning everyone with any hand. Not a lot you can do about it really except wait for a monstor and hope he has something. I tend to jsut leave and find a table thats a bit tighter!
And seriously, if you ever want to be a winning player you need to execute bankroll management

HU games and MTTs have the highest variance. So they are not a good choice if you only have a tiny bankroll. 770 is on ipoker, so you could have played some double or nothing SnGs

not only that. if it is on iPoker, cant remember created account long time ago, than he could play any range of sng`s from 10 cents up and there are freerolls for new accounts too.

The problem is that when i obtain good results i think i over value my own poker abilities and think i can out play pretty much everyone so thats why I played heads-up with this guy and I was really aggresive at the beggining hoping to be paid out after but he would crush me every single hand so... hopefully someday ill learn a bit of bankroll management.
