Before taking further shots at NL50 why not spend a week just railing the cash games, find targets that you feel you can exploit and make detailed notes on their games.
Great post dub1,
I`m sorry to hear about your situation, this story and a couple of others Ive heard recently have put things into perspective for me. Yes, Ive blown my roll but I have a job, I have my health(debatable lol) my family are healthy, and I dont ultimately rely on poker for anything, although I was getting used to cashing out a few quid now and again to buy something.
All in all what happened happens over and over and over in the poker world and Im hoping to learn from it.
I so hope it works out for you dub1, and if you do need to get a job, it was something that was meant to be.
I love the way there are some bigger players on here posting stuff on this thread and not thinking about the monetary value as such. What I mean is there are ppl that posted on here that would drop £600 in a session and not bat an eye. They are not of the opinion of ` its only £600 mate, get over it, we do it all the time` etc.
Most, if not all of the advice I have had is to cut down on tables. I kinda knew this but wasnt disciplined enough on that night.
If/when I get to the stage where I am looking to take a shot at nl50, I will be 1 or 2 tabling, as people have said, it is the only way to progress.
I will however autopilot my way there, as Im not planning on 1-2 tabling nl4 or I would be collecting my bus pass by the time I got to nl50.
Hoping to 12 table nl4 until £200, then 10 table nl10 until £400, then 8 table nl20 until at least £1k ( I know I said £2k, but we will see. That seems so far away). Then take it from there.
Ive deposited £50, which in effect is my cash for points bonus early as when the bonus comes I will cash it out.
I had a couple hrs on my lappy yesterday, which can only handle 6 tables, then when I got in from work, I loaded up 12 tables for about 1hr 20 or so.......... I forgot how crazy it was down there and am a bit worried about picking up bad habits, but hopefully now Ive identified them, I can re adjust when needs be.
...........current bankroll = £78.91......onwards and upwards
cheers
Glad you are taking some advice and are back in the game mate.
Most good players will give advice, its the ability to analyse that makes them better players,
That said, it doesnt always work.
I came online a couple of nights back, and one of the regulars had completely lost it, totally steaming. I told him to stop it and that he should go to bed. That advice seemed to settle him down for a while and whilst he was still being rash he managed to take my stack, going to £100 on the 15/30p tables. Wish I hadnt said anything lol!
Dont worry, Im not gonna be posting every day, but I thought £100 was a bit of a landmark as im very unlikely to go bust again now ( i hope)...........

When doing a recent spin up challage i found it great to keep a running commentary on how my night had gone. Cathartic to put into words what you did right & what you did wrong. Really helped me identify problems i'd had and put them right.

I dont play every day, but I will post after every session. I agree, it would be good for me personally to go back and see my ups and downs along the way.
I had a couple of 6 tabling sessions on my lappy and a little 12table session on desktop. I agree crow01, its not a bad run at all really, and I have surprised myself. I have no illusions that this run will continue for ever but nice to run well at the beginning. Be nice if it could continue at this rate.
i know when i start back again i am going to keep a lot of details written down about each table/session statistics.
just thought it might be good for encouragement etc etc
Yes mate, sounds like a good idea. Let me know when you are ready and we will sort it.
LOL, I like it. I wont be building it with that game.
£112.99
But then, I took down the orfordable, and got a bit of cash nl4 action,
current bankroll,
£177.46

TY MADMOO
i was losing every day i played before brk
It seems after much patience and grind, I have finally done it. BR = £785 + £50 cash for points = £835, back to where I started.
I know it doesnt sound much to some, but considering I cannot play all that often, I am made up with this, which is all that matters I suppose.
Eagle 26, I have just read your thread and hope rereading this one will help you out. Like I said there is no rush, once I get my head around that it should be all gravy.
