First off, let me say that even though this is a good amount of money, poker is still just a hobby. I have a proffesion and poker will never pay the bills.

So I want to be straight with the forum, my online gambling experience hasn't gone well recently.

I've lost about $250. Nothing major but it's still sad when I load my client and see 0.38

Little note- Got 1,200 locked in Full Tilt, Bastards at the FBI

How'd I do it?

First- Blackjack- Lost about $50 on BJ on carbon, set a strong strategy but of course I was not smart in playing a game which is so very restricted. You can only play 1 hand, only split twice, only double down on 9-11, and of course you cannot keep a count because the RNG shuffles the deck every hand. So Definently my fault.

Second-Roulette- Yeah, totally my fault. Got that complusion the wheel gives everyone. Lost another $50 or so. (I even got up to $140 on it and then blew it all)

So I e-mailed carbon support and had them permanently restrict my account from the casino section.

Third- Poker- So i'll divide this into three categories: Cash Games: Well- Actually truth be told I've probably won overall just playing hours worth of .02-.04. But then When my roll was around $55 i did a stupid thing and rolled in $10 to a .05-.10 game, got all in pre holding A-K and lost to A-Q.

Sit and Gos- I've played a ton of 2.20 one table sit and gos. I'm about a break even slightly profitable return on these.

MTT- I cash about 1/4 MTTs I play. I just started to play in MTTs my bankroll couldn't support.

HU- Lost almost all my rolls on those damn Super turbo 2.10, 4.15, 8.20, and 15.20 HU matches. I've got to friggin stop playing those.


So forum- Is my experience alone? Has anyone else blown rolls on those Super turbo HU or on 21 or Roulette? Also, How do I properly Bankroll manage to keep a steady return when i do load another $35-50 on it? In your history, do you build rolls on SNGs, Cash Games or MTTs?

And most importantly- How do you keep your composure when losing your roll? Avoiding tilt? And what perameters, like 5% per game or so, do you set for yourself?


While I'm cooling off from my losses for the next couple of days I hope I get some really helpful Respones-


Your Friend to all,
