hi, im jas11 on full tilt, in the past few weeks, i built up a
bankroll of 27k from 0. on monday, i went on bankroll tilt and lost it
all playing 300 600 hi lo and 50 100 nlh hu vs zugwat.i was playing 10
20 and kept getting bad beats so i moved up and chased my losses.

i feel low as u can imagine. im 19 and im an idiot for doing this.

eric liu loaned me 1k. after he heard , he offered me it.

now i have to build it up again. once i get to 5k, im going to send 4k
for someone to hold for me to avoid a repeat and continue to do this
every 5k. i have done it before - that time i lost 5k.

good luck dinky sir (ur a guy right?), im happy to hear ur doing good.

Hey Jas, I'm sorry to hear about your experience, unfortunately its
something that I am afraid every poker player must go through in their
career, sometimes more than once. It's the champion that keeps playing
well after a crushing blow to their bankroll/self-esteem/etc, while
the loser hangs up his gloves and quits playing the game (seriously at
least). That thought alone was a lot of solace for me in similar
situations.
Bankroll management... ughh, I could go on forever about this, but
most of what I would say has been said already a million times. I
don't play cash unless I'm really steaming, and as far as the tournies
go I don't think I'd buy into a 500+ directly anytime soon, and it'll
take me a good week to lose it playing the smaller buy ins. That
actually might be a good rule of thumb: don't play at stakes that can
bust your roll in 1 nite. (I'm assuming you lost it all on Monday).
While you're healing play the game you play best, i looked at your
stats, and your SnG's are really good but you haven't been playing
them in August (<50) for the 45 man ones, and you made 5k+ off them in
July. My word of advice, stick to your guns. I don't know how much you
made from cash games, but you've got 18k+ in wins from tournies, so
perhaps that's where you should focus, particularly in Omaha tournies
if you want to start playing Omaha in big ring games. It's good
practice and it'll cost you a lot less to learn a lot more.
If you have any questions post them up,

btw I am a guy, or so my girlfriend says

Peace, Good Luck, Double Up, TID
