Deposited 100 at a time on UB. Played 50/1 and deposited another buy in everytime I went broke until my bank account was empty.

Decided I need to practice good bankroll management and would depost 60 dollars at a time and play 3 $20 Sngs.

Luckboxed my way to 1300 in one night by moving up stakes everytime I won. Cashed it out. Went to the casino and lost the 200 dollars in my bank account plus 1000 in advances playing table games and 2 5 limit poker. The check arrived and was deposited before I got any overdraft fees.

Started playing smaller stakes Sngs and ran my account up to 2 grand. Decided to start playing $100 and $200 dollar Sngs one night when I was depressed. Lost it all and cried.

Decided tournaments were my forte after getting 5th in a $26 PLH event for $500. Didn't cash for 41 straight tournaments.

Made fun of some guy named Kevmode and he would follow me to every tournament I played and insult me. I was amused to see he was a prolific 2 +2 poster when I joined years later.

Those are the highlights. Kinda depressing when I write them all out.

Before I began to even play home games, like a previous poster, I thought I was an awesome poker player because I had read the Dan Harrington books, even though I did not really pay attention to them. Everybody got mad because it took me too long to count chips to figure out my pot odds. They said I needed to stop doing accounting and being all mathematical with my play.

I also used to think that Pocket Jacks under the gun were an unfoldable hand.

Go all-in first position with a two pair or set whenever there were three to a straight and three clubs on the board and several people left to act.

Go all-in with top pair on a low card flop.

Go all-in with Jack-Ten pre-flop because I thought it was a great hand.

Go all-in with any Ace or King during a six person all-in lottery because I had blockers.

Never raise preflop with a pair less than Jacks.

Base my raise sizes in direct proportion to the strength of my hand.

When playing 2NL I didnt count my few BI wins in dollars but in cheeseburgers.

True story.

I thought I should reraise pre only JJ+ because whats the point raising AK when flop havent even come? Whined about this to my friend and called ppl stupid who raised pre with AQ or something because I was mad calling their raises after limping with my T8 kind of hands etc. I mean, they have only A high no pair, so stupid to raise preflop with it.. those fishes

Where the hell is my edit button???

Anyway, when I learned to c-bet, I genuinely thought it was "the key" to beat poker. I felt really badass when it worked and I didnt had anything. I had PT3 trial back then and after I started c-betting, my line started to go up, obv. didnt last more than few days.

I also used to limp AA and was really mad at myself when I got outdrawn. "WHY I DONT RAISE FFS RAISE NEXT TIME PREFLOP!!!" And when I did raise I collected blinds and thought that maybe raising is wrong and continued limping.

I also thought why flush is beating straight, when flush is so much easier to get!

I wasnt slowplaying when I started, but one day in some freeroll I hit nuts on flop and thought why should I raise, meaby I just call and he might put more in pot so c/c flop and turn and go mad on river and take villains stack. Then someone on table told me "wp, nice slowplay" and I asked my friend what is slowplay and he explained it and I realized it was what I just did. Obviously after that I slowplayed my every hand, even top pair.

First livegame 5€ buy in, went broke with 56 on 577 board and villain had AA who proceeded to mock me about this everyfu.ckintime. Next time I wasnt drunk and took him out first. Felt supergood.

Going broke alot with A high on paired boards thinking "chances are he doesnt have trips and that pair, he must be bluffing!!".

mby more coming soon if I remember more.

After busting my first 20$ depo, I started to hunt for free moneys no deposit bonuses. I got 50$ few times, ran first one to 100$ but I was underaged and registered with random name so I just kept playing and lost it all. Next 50$ didnt rlly worked out. Obviously I took my whole 50$ on one table in both cases.

Third time I got 50$ on Partypoker and I joined 22$ SnG where I finished 2nd after losing KJ < K4 in PFAI. Was pretty mad about this, but still happy about 60$ win. So I had this 80$ and I thought im gonna save it for later when I'm gonna start learning to play sngs with proper BRM.

I depod another 20$ on Stars and 4 tabled 5NL. I managed to get it up to 60$ then I lost some, tilted and went to play 100NL with 50$. For me, blinds were HUUUUGEEEE MONEEEYYSS there, 1$ BB! I thought I can get rich just by stealing those. I remember getting 3 monsters in a row. First one was AA, blinds. Next one AA, blinds and third one KK and I finally got see the flop. On flop I went AI vs. FD and obviously he hit it. I was totally devastated by this, my biggest pot in life and I got bad beat. I was telling about this to all my friends to gain sympathy.

Then I remember my 80$ on PP and went to play 50NL HU with it. I remember playing it in school and I was in adrenaline! Then I finally stacked someone off which was something like 77 vs. ace rag and my 77 held and now I had around 140$ in PP. I continued playing by proper BRM so I started to grind 5NL and after few weeks I got it to 250$. At 250$ I tried some 10NL and got my first downswing. Fish + downswing = nothing good comes out of it. I lost 100$ there in few days and went back to 5NL @ 150$ and lost another 10 BI there. I felt totally **** and devastated.

Next days I was on a really big heater, won 100$ by playing 5NL in 2 days, back in business baby! Then I pretty much struggled going up and down between 200$ and 250$.

I finally turned 18 and I made an account with my real ID. Plan was to dump all money to my real account from fakeaccount. Well, I was superstupid and before that I depod like 50$ on my fakeaccount to gain some bonus and then I used same credit card to depo money on my real account. PP obviously sniffed this out and closed my fake account. I was playing at that time and I noticed this because I couldnt get to my cashier orsm, it said my account was banned. I was freaking out and in panic thinking wtf to do. I still had acces to join tables so I thought to call my friend and tell him to come online so I can dump all my money to him and he could pay me back IRL. He wasnt at home and told me he will come back in 6 hours. I got this "I dont fu.ckin care about these money" mood and I went to play 100NL full stacked, in few hands I got AA v KK and WOOT, just won 200$ pot! I was in heaven.

After that win I went one stake down to 50NL and started 4tabling it with 350$ I had on my account. I grinded 6 hours straight, cleared my 50$ bonus but was pretty much breakeven playing 50NL. I alrdy had idea of playing tight etc. and I thought everyone in 50NL was ûberfish, they were calling raises preflop with A-rags, going broke with those etc. I cursed alot of pots where I lost my premium Ax to some A-rags because he hit 2 pairs. At some point I had all my money around 4 tables. My friend finally came and we started to play HU. We tried to play it "sneaky" lol, not dumping all money instant, but played there like 30min and I finally got my whole roll transferred to him. It was time to pray that he will pass cashout, because he was underaged too. Luckily, PP didnt ask ID from him and I got around 300$ back. (Paid 20$ to him for help.) Back to stars with 250$, tilted, lost it to 80$ and finally started those SnGs. They felt really good and got to 150$ with those. Cashed out those 150$ and depod to Everest Poker and started to play DoNs. **** went ok, finally started to get grasp of this game, watching vids etc.

I would never call an all in pre-flop in the first few levels of a sit n go with AA because it was too risky. I'd just wait for a better spot to out play people by getting them to fold later.

For about the first year of multitabling I was dragging each table into position, painstakingly aligning so they looked perfectly tiled. For the life of me I couldn't imagine see how pros did it so quickly and perfectly....then my brother cane round one day and was Luke lol push alt f9

Or use software the automatically resizes your tables and places them in a pre-set order.

[x] Reported.

deposited $100 into Party Poker in 2006 and ran it up to $3K in 3days, then cashed out figuring I just got lucky and didn't want to push my luck...it was 2 years before i played online poker again

Was absolutely crushing the playmoney tables at Stars and figured I should take a shot at real money tables.

Deposited $20,- and lost $5,- in the first hand at a 5NL FR with just one player in it.
All in preflop with KJo (paints were unfoldable) and lost against QJo.
I remember being absolutely livid about the beat.

Proceeded with the $15,- in my account and somehow turned that in a $300,- bankroll within the next 2-3 hours,
which is staggering if you think of it.
I didn't have much of a clue what I was doing and was just a overagressive fish, 3betting 70% and triple barreling most boards.
I felt godlike and moved up to 100NL HU. Lost two flips there (AKo v 99 and JJ v AQs) and the rest playing poor poker.
I lost 25% of my initial $20,- deposit to $15,-, lifted that up to around $300,- and lost all of that in the time frame of 3-4 hours.
Weirdly enough, I don't recall being heartbroken over it, while $300,- was an absolute fortune for me back then.
Probably had less in my bank account if I think of it.
It's weird what a difference it is losing real life money opposed to seeing the digits of your poker bankroll change.
If someone would've burned that $300,- down in front of my eyes, I would've probably died from a stroke.

Enjoyed grinding [x]

Found Party Poker and would drive home from work everyday to play for 30 minutes or so.

Played in $5 home game rebuy tournament and would go absolutely crazy when someone "played their hand wrong and still beat me"

Ran my PokerStars account up to around 900 playing .25/.50 NL, figured the next logical progression was 2/4 NL. Lost my roll in under 30 minutes.
