Getting cold-decked/making bad plays as a result....
Well... after getting myself rolled for 10 NL, I managed to lose half my bankroll in the past week. I was down to around 70 bucks, and already moved back down to 5NL @ Stars.
I've had AA and KK repeatedly cracked lately (not every time obviously, but a lot more often than it normally should), lost most of my recent coinflips with TT-QQ, and as a result have made one of the biggest newbie mistakes possible in making stupid moves trying to play "catch up" and managed to drop myself down even more to 50.
I finally got my crap together though and am starting the slow grind back up. Some of my old StarCraft friends consoled me by telling me about how they lost like 1/3 of their roll a really long time ago and it happens to everyone at some point, so it seems I'm back on track and slowly building myself back up. It just really hurts to go from doing so well to dropping like a brick and having to build myself up. The good things that have come frmo this is it's helped me look at my game so I don't make the same mistakes again.
Don't really know why I made this post, but figured it might help new players who have the same thing happen to them, and I'm sure it's something a lot of regulars who post here have gone through.
