So I had to cash out the majority of my roll to buy a new TV (65" 1080p sweetness) and b/c I had a big live game loss right before the holidays and wanted to get my family some nice shit..

While I was broke online I decided I would just treat my online roll like a mutual fund, IE rather than depositing 200 or so into my savings account each month I would just put it onto Stars via eCheck and play low limits extremely rolled.

So I've just been happily playing NL10 FR. It was working out well for the first 15k hands but this graph shows what's happened the last few days. It seems like I just can't win a big hand. Sickening. Feels kind of nice to be super rolled though, I was at $570 before this downswing hit and I'm still super rolled. Going to follow a 40-50 BI rule, so I'll be at NL10 for a month or two more until I'm ~1k and move to NL25.

But yeah, sick life graph. Been having to fold ALOT in big hands when flush draws hit / worst turn-river cards possible come and opponents go nuts.

I have been going through all of my big losers and I really don't think I'm playing all that badly, I'm just not winning. There are some leaks I found and hopefully will have corrected for the next session I play, though.

yeah i had similar not long ago. -14 buyins lol. and i thought i was playing fine too, no real tilt or anything.

NL10 is just a shitter but if it helps at all, a couple of days after my downswing i won it all back so keep playing and hopefully u'll get the same good luck that i did

full ring

You guys think NL10 is a bitch, try NL25. There have been numerous times where I seriously felt like throwing my comp out the window.
