Hi, this is my very first post on this site thought I've been reading for about a month now. I have played poker in spurts for almost 2 years now and it was always something I wanted to spend more time doing. Now that I have the opportunity I've really been sitting down and trying to play *at least* 100 hands a session, usually 2 sessions a day. I was really doing well, and was up 50% my original buy-in (up from about 250 BB bankroll at my limit) in about 2 weeks and was soon going to move up limits. Now I'm actually down to 50% my original bankroll and even though I think I play the same, I just can't tell anymore. I feel like I might as well set up an ATM at my driveway. Any tips on how to manage bad downswings like this? I mean, I can always renew my small-ish bankroll in a few months, but it's really dashing my hopes here.
