Good News my bankroll peaked at $198.85; bad news is I never went over $200.

You see, I discovered the fun in playing sit n go, and started playing $3.40 Turbo & $6.50 turbo. For one session I kept getting sucked out on or coolered, so I got frustrated and tilted. What does this mean in my terms? Move up a stake to 10NL, and lose money there!

Nonetheless, it was a good experience and now I'm pretty sure that I can do well in those limits, but to be able to play comfortably and normally, I need to build up my bank roll first and I guess that shouldn't be too hard, as long as I don't play those Sit n go's and go on tilt again.

Back to business, played my normal game over 1K hands this morning on 5NL FR and made 6BI's. So basically by the end of this week I should be bankrolled for 10NL easily.

One thing I found REALLY REALLY funny [but at the same time frustrating] were the short stackers in 10NL 6-max. Talk about POT COMMITTMENT & SHORT STACKERS. I don't know if this has ever happened to any of you guys, but I remember all too often that the moment I tried to steal their 10c blinds out of their $2 stack they'd almost always shove me. Talk about being POT COMMITTED! - boy I wouldn't even consider stealing a short stacker's blind in 2NL!

i had the same problem except it was with a barrier of $300. Whenever i reach that point i always start to lose whether it be spew/bad beat/wasting money playing SnGs.

I think the best way to get pass a barrier is to stay focused on the current games and not think about the barrier; Keep positive. I just force myself to analyse my opponents whenever i drift into "hmmm i hope my downswing dont kick in now" mode.

gl @ the grind.
