Well, it depends on how you got up to $95 so quickly....if you were playing good poker like is recommended here at FTR, and continued this style of play when your loosing streak hit, then there is nothing to be ashamed of, just learning curve and variance all rolled into one.

Same happened to me I was up to $95, thought I was the shit, Kicked down to $60, slapped myself to play smart poker again, and am back up to about $100 or so again.

But if you won that money playing suckout poker.....then your bound to lose your $$$......but no worries, just stick around here at FTR and youll be fine....

(BTW, I started out with a few weeks of suckout poker.... )
