okay you have a 9$ BR (bank roll) and you're saying you went busto to an 8$ loss, you are still plus over all since you had deposited 0 funds. well in the first place it would seem that with that BR you went to a NO limit game, if your purpose was to try and build up you certainly didn't do go about it with a proper strategy. With such a micro micro BR you would be more likely to make a small profit going about Limit, i know its not very popular to most but it does have a key benefit, in which you can't risk said 8$ or 98% of your BR on one hand. For anyone who's been playing long knows you want to see a large number of hands to pick good spots and with a tiny starting BR like 9$ your best bet is the .02 .05 cent limit tables with patients and value play you're going to come out ahead and have a long playing time. good luck
