MY start at 25nl wasn't good. 27.5 buyins washed away by allin short stacks and the bad rivers. One of my last hands were 88 and flop 282, i was scared to bet because when you're running bad like this, the more you bet, the more you lose. Don't let flopping a boat make you feel safe to bet.I lost.
Now i'm starting over 5nl because i refuse to rebuy after a $700 down swing. i'm going to take my 11 dollars and grind my way back.
My new bankroll is now going to require 50 buyins for whatever i'm playing. I'm not moving to the next level without 50 buyins for that level.
maybe when i get better, my swings wont be so bad. I try really hard not to listen to all of the "rigged" theories like the one where the short stack going allin win most of the time reguardless of his cards to keep the money evened out and the players playing where the rake will go over the money several times before the better players eventually gets it.
I got drunk after a series of bad rivers, so i decided to email pokerstars as a joke and tell them i had a bad account and request a new account that doesn't get all the bad beats. Kinda like you did for H@LL. PokerStars didn't find my email funny. That's ok, i didn't find my next hand after the email funny either. 66 flop 6J4 he goes allin so i call, he has 44. I CAN'T LOSE!!! that is til the case 4 falls. The moral to the story is, don't get drunk and send support a shity email.
wish me luck in grinding my way back up from 5nl.Maybe i'll learn more where my swings arnt so big. I know it can't all be from bad beats, but it seems like it sometimes.

gl,
large, but entirely standard swing imho.
there are alot of luckboxes on a heaters who will tell you otherwise though.
tough it out, keep on improving and keep the discipline. |

poker is mostly a test of wills, quitters can't win here. so gj on deciding to soldier on after learning that lesson. i used to go busto a lot before with like 100 deposits, turn it into 800, then go to the 400nl fr table or 8 table 100nl fr. wasted a year doing that. so good for you that you realize that early. goodluck. |

You should just move down before you bust your account, by the end of this 27 buyin swing you certainly didn't have enough to play NL25. I'd have moved back down around 400$~ |

But gl rebuilding, essentially the same thing happened to me when I started playing (although I only had to rebuild from NL10). |
