After losing my initial $1500 bankroll on pokerstars casino and around another $500 in further deposits, I have now blocked everything but poker and deposited a final £10 ($11.84) which is all I can afford now in this climate. I am going to start @25c spin and go's and grind a roll up and hopefully get back my $2k in the next 90 days or less.

Plan is

$10-$40 25c spin n go
$40-$100 $1 spin n go
$100-$400 $2 spin n go, $1.50 sng
$400-$2000 $2.50 sng, $1.10-$5.50 MTT

I lost a few games in the 25c spins so I said "**** it!" and did this

[IMG][/IMG]

I then played some mtt and had 2 potential final tables but I blew the hot $1.10 after getting stubborn defending my bb

[IMG][/IMG]

Did a deal in the £3.30 and ran AQ into KK 3 handed so no bounties added for me

[IMG][/IMG]

Happy with the day and my BR now stands at a healthy

[IMG][/IMG]

What do I do now? Suggestions are welcome

Play whatever you like, tournaments or 10nl what ever brings you the most enjoyment thats the most important thing at this level., Maybe stop degening your roll on sport sbets though might be a a leak you could fix..

Personally I would just write the 2k off and don't even be aiming to get it back.
$200 gives you enough to play a ton of mtt's. You can play $1-$2 mtts quite comfortably with you time you have.

We probably have all (i know i have) been guilty of degening and being filled with greed trying to win it big quick but you will lose with this method.

Dude you just won $32. You came last but you won $32.

This is a opportunity for you to take that $32 and put in the toil and reap a harvest from the toil.

32 $1 mtt's buy-ins you have there.

Considering I lost 4 buy ins in zoom, loaned someone $35, lost a few quid on the football and didn't do well in my 9-10 mtt's after the final table i consider a balance of $211 a victory for the day

Just got one shot in a $3 hyper to the sunday million and it's bed time

So tilted after the hyper shootout

Shove A4 heads up get called by k8o for 12 bigs, AK8 flop and we are pretty much out in next few hands

The player that bust me won the seat so I assume I would have got the same seat had I held

So the inevitable happened and I'm busto again

Joined virtual sports motor racing and seen number 7 hadn't won in 16 races so I chased the balance to zero over the next 15 races or something

two races after i bust it comes in go figure and i think that's me done with poker now too

thanks for listening
