    Default Last chance donkey!!

    So here's my background...I've been playing for a few years now mostly specializing in turbo sng's on FT. I've completed one operation previously, had my BR up over 5K and have major problems with BR mgmt and Tilt. Minor problems I know...

    I'm turning this $300 into 2K to get this bankroll back to life...I will start by ONLY playing $11 stakes. 9 man sngs, mtt's, HU or cash. Key to this operation is not playing out of my stakes and shutting down for the night with a 4 buyin loss. This rule is a MUST. I will not move up in stakes until I get to $800

    I tend to try to make losses back by playing higher stakes rather than coming back to fight another day and I'm quite sick of it. If this operation fails...I'm done.

    See ya on the course.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    It would probably be a good idea to cash out regularly to your minimum BR requirement for the stake you play, so you simply cannot donk it all off when you go on tilt.

    GL and gogogo!

    Had a frustrating night last night playing HU PLO. Most of my losses have come in either cash games or HU PLO but I was able to keep it in check with only losing 4 buyins and not moving up in stakes to try to recoup losses. This is the hand the night ended on and rightfully so...the swings in PLO are maddening

    I played a couple of 9 man NLHE turbo 11's tonight and won 3 buyins back...felt good and it also felt good to only play a couple and then shut it down. I feel like I haven't actually won a sng in forever...lots of 2nd's and 3rd's but I'm not getting the wins...this hu hand was pretty bad but I got my money in good

    good lord...went on tilt again...busto. I had my FT account shut down. I just lose control...I felt myself playing bad and it escalated. Classic case of tilt. I don't know if it's worth playing at this point...it's really not fun anymore.
