I just wanted to hear some stories about going broke and how it affected you. Your most expensive mistakes and bad beats.
pfff......wouldnt know where to start. :(
Never lost money I didn\'t want to gamble with. But wow did I lose a lot when I first started on line hi stakes LOL...
I wouldn\'t know where to start either.
when i first started it sucked losing my own money. now im playing on OPM\'s so losing a little doesnt bother me.
Amen to that AcesUp1439. Me love playing with free dough.
too many to list LOL and hopefuly dont remember them lol good luck
that\'s part of the game but you can lose it all to regain it and really
I built up a $700.00 bankroll on one site with seed money coming from one of their free rolls. I thought I was ready for bigger stakes and blew through it in two days. I lost 400 in one tourney that had $50.00 rebuys.
I have a question guys...how do you get the 600$ bonus on pokerstars..i have deposit 100 but....nothing..please help!!!
sometimes after I build a small bankroll of around 20 to 50$ play 10 tourneys, that\'s horrible for BR building. Gl at tables all!!!
U dont get 600 dollars outright
While I\'ve had plenty of bad beats, it just sucks that when you\'re just trying to win a little bit, everything isn\'t going your way, running 99 into QQ twice, on a cash game and tournament, plus 1010 into JJ, and even getting called by bottom pair while you have Aces, K85J5, he had Q5. Bottom line, for much better play, play higher stakes, micro limit just doesn\'t do it. They\'re crapshoots basically.
Go broke and just start over. Everyone goes bust from time to time.
The bonus comes to your Br in drips....thats how they get you. there is a time limit too. You have to earn ur Bonus by earning rake for them - LOL! It does support you a lil. but not much.Quote:

damn that sucks, happens to the best of us.. gl on your grind back up...
Never have gone broke so far, I am very careful with my BR.
eh, I deposited $5 or $10 on everest, went to nl2, in one day got $40.
Next day, I started on nl10, ended same day over 100 bucks.
3rd day, I started NL25 !Multitabling! lol. got to 150-160.
than in one day dropped back to 60 bucks lol, and deposited back to my creditcard lol xD
I dont know the exact numbers anymore, but I know for sure the nl25 multitabling. my bankroll lasted for 3-4 days
But it was fun as ******

i run down toalmost nothin everyday but scratch it out build it up and go for big pay days,even tho everyone wants to play big games a slow steady pace and 100% patience is the tool for winning in poker
every recreational poker player gets broke atleast once in his life , Some give up & some continue , the once that continue & succeed will become professional poker players
So I have to go broke first and then I will be a professional:confused::cool:Quote:

the famous tilt man... i lost some cash too, when it happen i quit poker for two or three days e then i come back winning
I used to go broke until I used Chris Furgusons br managment ideas. 2% on mtt, dont play cash tables so I dont worry about that.
i just have no BR management discipline
currently, i will work towards it in the future.
going broke is never fun; trhy to always have something stashed on a virtual visa for those days where you know you might check punt a bankroll if another 95s flops quads :) youll bounce back man!
