Finally managed to get my bankroll over £140 at last, i mean it must have been about 5 times i had £139.90+, and just couldn't get that extra 10p to get it to £140, quite funny really lol.
My total profit for the entire session was about £4ish, could have been more if i wasn't coolered a few times haha. (Worst one was AA v AKo, always terrible when AK cracks your aces haha
Thats 50 sessions now recorded on that website (47 cash and 3 freeroll tournaments) so i'll post my new statistics:
(7/12/2013 - 7/24/2013)
Bankroll is now at £143.90, will probably do another few sessions when i get home tonight, i'm off out to dinner then to play poker again
Just did another 2 half hour sessions, first one was so horrible, never ran so bad in my life haha. Lost countless 70-30s and 80-20s, ended up -£8 or so.
Second session was completely different, first hand on both tables i get dealt AA and JQ, flop a set and the nut straight and got paid lol, after that i was a bit card dead but won a nice pot near the end with KK v AK aip, i wish people would buy in for the full amount though, there are so many people sitting down with just $1-$1 or so haha. Won a fiver in total.
Bankroll is now at £140.96
Both went rather well, first one was pretty boring tbh, won a decent pot with AK and KQ and that was that. Profit of about £1 or so. Second session was much better, running good, flopping sets/straights and flushes and getting paid lol, ended up about £5ish in profit.
Thats me done for today, got a lot of tv to watch (dynamo from thursday, still not watched it yet!! And my wife and kids, brilliant that programme is back on TV here, bloody love it haha)
Bankroll is now at £146.22, goodnight everyone!
Bankroll is now £140.88.
Think i should? Or should I just wait until i actually build my bankroll playing 5nl up to the amount required to play 10nl?
I should mention that 10nl is actually 0.05/0.10c, not pence, so 1BI is £6.50, not £10 haha. 30BIs for 10nl would be about £200, just £60 less than whats in my bankroll now. (Well to be honest, if i didn't keep withdrawing, i would have over £200)
Bankroll is now at £152.01 after a few good sessions, best one was my latest session where i won about a tenner after losing a few quid last night.
Does the site not tell you what your balanceis in $$$ ?
Assuming you've got like £140 which is about $210 then you could start playing a bit of 10NL now if you're confident, if you wanna be a bit more cautious wait til you have $300 which shouldn't take long if you stop withdrawing.
Had a shocking session playing online, lost about 5BIs in the space of 5 minutes, one of them was terrible play from me but the other 4 were just cooler after cooler after cooler lol. I tried my best to just shake it off, turn the poker software off and just not play for the rest of the night and come back tomorrow. But i couldn't help myself, i had lost about £20 and i was desperate to get it back, so yet again i find myself on the 0.50/1 tables, look certain to win £65 (1BI) with a turned flush with 64s, get it all in on the flop against TPTK, and they river the better flush lol. So overall i was down £85 at that point.
I should have known i wouldn't be able to take a big loss like that, was in denial thinking i was getting it under control lol. So i turned to blackjack again to try and get it back (on william hill since i cant play casino games on titan, took me ages to set up an account and everything on there, i was that desperate)
Deposited £200 on there, lost about £150 in 5 minutes, then somehow (i have no idea how, because the max bet you can put was £30) i managed to win 5 in a row to get it back to £200, then i just kept on getting so lucky, winning another few times to get it to £300+, then i finally stopped and withdrew it all.
My god, this has happened way too many times, its unreal. I have around £1900 in my bank account at the minute, when it should read 0. So i am a very very very very lucky person indeed lol.
But i think thats it for me, i can't continue playing online poker if i'm addicted to money and can't stop chasing losses. Think i will just have to withdraw everything and self exclude myself for a period of time that i feel suits me. (Maybe until i'm 21?)
Bloody frustrating this lol, what else can i do? If there was a way to block me from playing any stakes higher than 10nl then that would be perfect haha.
I'm not excluding myself right now however, i get a £25 bonus or so at the start of the month, and i won't get it if i'm excluded so i shall wait.
Not leaving the forum or anything, i'll still be playing live almost every day so i'll still be here looking for advice etc.
Won £75 today on my football coupon though, first game of the season too, not bad!
Going to start all over again, reset my online statistics and start over with a bankroll of £120 again.
First session earlier went really well, won about £11 in total on 2 2c/5c speed hold em tables after losing a buy-in within the first minute getting my aces cracked by 10, 5 off (lol)

The session lasted an hour, think i might just do hourly sessions from now on rather than half hour ones lol. 250 hands on both tables in an hour, so a total of 500 which is not bad really. Will do another session or 2 tonight before my freeroll tourny at 10pm
Bankroll is at £131.68, wish me luck hopefully this time i can control myself and not chase any losses! (Even though every time i do it, i win a lot haha)
Off to play in that tourny soon, not got enough points for any re-buys or add-ons so its just one shot this time :P
Only won £1.50ish, 3 and a half hours hard work for that!! haha.

That's me done for today then, will probably have a couple sessions tomorrow after the football lol.
Current bankroll is £135.55
Was up a couple of quid after hitting a straight flush with 45 of clubs bvb, flop came Ac 3c 7d giving me a double gutshot and a flush draw, got it all in on the flop v A7 and i hit the 2c on the turn lol, that was nice.
Near the end of the session i was just about breaking even, then i lost 1BI with AKs v JJ, i flop TPTK v a set, oh well haha.
So i lost about £3.10 in total, hopefully my next session later on will go better, i'm just hoping i get some more playable hands to be honest!
I made a loss of 20p ish in the first one and a profit of £5ish in the second. Even though i made a profit overall, i've never felt so frustrated before. I really cannot understand why people put their money in the middle when they KNOW they are behind, it baffles me. I know thats what i want because in the long term i will bankrupt them blah blah but that wasn't the case for most of today, i kept getting sucked out on lol. Rant over :P

Was so close to folding the turn to be honest, i knew he had aces, just couldn't make myself do it haha.
Wasn't until the last 15 minutes of the 2nd session where my patience finally paid off, i started taking all those donks money and my hands were holding lol.
Overall, i'm happy with the way i played. Not made a great profit today but the way it has went, i will take a £1.50 profit lol.
Bankroll is now at £137.02
