Just Call Me Bubble Boy!!!!
Okay, I'm back. I went on a roller coaster ride for a couple of days. Honestly, I didn't want to post a loss and that is why I haven't posted. If I really want to be serious about this I have to be realistic and know that I am not going to have a winning session every time I sit down at the tables. I also have committed the ultimate sin in bankroll management a few times in the past couple of days. I didn't cash in a couple of $5 sngs in a row, which tells me that either I am not playing well or that the poker gods are real and they really do hate me. Instead of taking a break I decide to do the dumbest thing I can think of and move up to the $10 sng with the flawed thinking that if I win I can easily make up for what I have lost. Until I lost that one. OUCH. Now I am really in trouble.
I know that a lot of poker players and gamblers in general make this mistake. But I don't want to be one of these players. That is why I am confessing my sins here. I have put my transgressions in writing for the entire world (the 5 of you) to see. Forgive me my trespasses as I forgive them that trespass against me (3 outers on the river).
I have been trying a lot of the KO tourneys and a few of the large $2 tourneys. I did go really deep in a few of them and came up a little short when it would get down to 2 tables. If I played a couple hands differently I could of just as easily been posting a big increase in my bankroll instead of a loss here but I am happy with my play and that is all I can ask for. If I can keep playing this way and going deep then eventually I know I will take down a big score. I feel like it's only a matter of time I just have to be patient and play my game. I actually had the chip lead in one and was 2nd in another and I felt like I should have went deeper in both of them.
My total was actually a lot lower at one point but i tightened up again and started playing decent poker and brought it back up to a somewhat respectable number.
Started = $123.80
- 30.11
Total = $93.69

I was 2nd in chips with 90 players left. I ended up taking 10th for $14.85. 1st place paid $297
I was chip leader with 29 players left. I ended up going out in 15th with a hand that I played horribly. I should of at least made the final table. 1st place paid $144

say 3 hail Marys and spend a week playing free rolls as a penance.
On a serious note you know what you did was wrong, you learned a lesson the hard way and now your back on your merry way. Well Done
Chasing losses can be a dangerous game.
about time you posted again...where's the screen shot from when we were 1,2 in the $6 KO???
Jonny - Please, anything but freerolls!!! Thanks for the encouraging words. I am looking forward to playing the $10 sngs.... as soon as my bankroll allows it of course.
Bob - The screen shot on the bottom is the tourney that me and you were at the top of the leaderboard, it is just hard to see. I still haven't figured out how to make those bigger.
