Starting Over

Hi all,

Isn't there a song called starting over? That pretty much defines my poker journey. My BR was just over $50.00 not too long ago, I have now drop to just over my start up BR. I am now sitting at a BR of $11.54. No I'm not bitter over my lost. I am however every eager and excited to start my long and never ending climb back up that ladder. What I've learned during my downhill spiral is this.... When you are up don't go getting ahead of yourself. Yes I hate .01/.02 micro hell, but what I hate more is losing $40.00 hard earned dollars moving up before I should have. Even if your BR permits a move up doesn't mean you are ready for one. So here I am at the beginning again to do it right this time round (I hope).

had this so many times, overplaying my bankroll... even up to playing 1000nl while those limits were way above my roll, this happend to me quite a few times (since i'm quite stubborn i needed to hit the wall more then one time :) )... so i can only advice you DON"T. cause it's very rare you actually survive... it can go while for some time... but variance only has to be a little against u and your roll is gone... i decided as well either to play brm or to quit poker all together... i decided to only play brm and it has been going quite well (almost escaped micro hell :) )... take a look at this link for brm scheme, it might help you :), also don't buy in at tournaments that are more the 2% of your roll and if you need to take a step back in limit just do it, cause if you have an edge you will climb back anyways :)

If u use the link and scrolldown there is a diagram ? (picture lol) and well i guess it explains itself im sorry ccrpoker for trying to be smart :) second part says start at third part move down at.. And its by Lex "Raszi" Veldhuis - one of my favorite players - who is becoming more and more famous after his great wsop (as in he got a lot of attention due to his big finish in the 40k event)  this year and he's also appearing on High stakes poker this year, looking forward to that.

GL pepiscan i'm sure you can do it again, i aswell am one of those that ran into that wall a couple times and am now doing it right :)

Keep up the good work

Thanks for the replies guys. Nice site only wrong language. Presum3vil also gave me a similar graph to go by, but apparently I like to learn things the hard way.

Well that which doesn't kill you........ you will do just fine, you just haven't found your grove just yet. It takes a few times to finally figure it out.

pepsican: the power of positive thinking ! so important...when you're negative thinking after a couple of beads of when you hit the wall it will happen again... always think positive and work on your game with a positive "fun" attitude... (and dont play high or drunk hehe :D kinda costly for ur roll :D)

 

yeah HSP lex veldhuis whoop it, really curious how he did it there, read on pokernews he did quite well.., i already watched episode one of hsp and when i compared that with Full tilt million dollar cash game i have to say the action was so much bigger and better at FT... lot of great plays and calls :)
