Thanks, but it's not too difficult. I hate to admit it, but most of the roll is from bonuses and rakeback, although I am definitely a winning player. You gotta get good bonuses and rakeback deals. I also recommend doing some casino bonuses.
I haven't cashed out, but will start taking some soon. I find it helps to have a (relatively) big roll behind me. It's true what they say about bankroll management. I find I play with more confidence and I don't panic when I drop $300 over a couple sessions.
I had a pretty good day yesterday. Played 5 SNG's on stars (4 x 1+.20 and 1 x 5 + .5) cashed in all but no 1st places finishes. Also, took 2nd in 1 + .20 on chan and 2nd our CPF League game #10 (or is it 11??).
Day 1 (March 1): 100% Day 33 (April 2): 301%
Day 38 (April 7): 338%
Day 40 (April 9): 395%
Had a few roller coaster days, but still moving up. I'm in the process of making my move to the $5+.50 on Stars and $5+.50 (Short-handed) on Chan. Besides the BR justification, how do you know when you're truly ready to move up?

Man if I go back to day 1 on Stars when I knew pretty much nada about poker...
That was in 2001 I put 50$ on Stars join the highest possible NL table I can find with my roll... I get a crazy mofo hand and triple up in the first 20 minutes I'm like WTF me > poker.
From then well... I'm prolly close to your -500% lvl haha.
(I did get a bunch of 300-400 wins in tournaments but I put it on my CC card right away only to have to deposit back later on).
Latetly though it's been way more stable since my play has improved greatly sadly I feel I'm more proned to tilt than I used to be.. weird.
So .. on topic...
I'm going to start a brand new pokah rollz0r (make it look serious).
so ...
April 4th - 100% (100$)
Future - ?
A friendly advise
1)Bankroll management is not for everybody
so, I do not reccomand you following it.
set a stop loss, and just have fun.
2)self honesty is important to improve your game.

Well actually when I've been following it I actually had decent success... thing is I like to gamble a little wee bit to much and play over my limits and well.. yeah bad things happens.
With that last 100$ I'm trying very hard to be as disciplined as I possibly can and even though I've had a few bad streak I've been able to play alot longer than I usually does with a 100$ deposit...
Congrats. Do you play mostly online SNGs now, with no more live MTTs or cash games?
Thanks. Yeah, mostly online SnG's. I'll play the odd online MTT here and there, but I haven't touched a cash game in about 6 or 7 weeks and don't plan to.
My rough spot continued for a few days, but I battled back and am on another upswing. I made the move up to the PS $3.25 6 seat SnGs and am very comfortable, so far.

I think I'm on serious TILT. I just can't seem to win anymore. I've gone through about 25% of my total bankroll in the last week. This feels brutal.... What do I do?

Looks like the normal rollercoaster ride of variance to me. It's incredible that you multiplied your bankroll to seven times in less than two months. Since I started playing at Fallsview Casino, I have had very rare losing sessions at 5/5 and I have a high hourly win rate at 2/5. Just because I have barely broke even in my last three sessions there won't make me go on tilt or stop me from going there this Sunday.
I hope that you don't remain on tilt so you can keep making correct poker decisions that got you to 683% in the first place.

I'd have gone on vacation off those winnings

Do you think it's best to keep at it until things turn around or is it better to just take a break from playing until my confidence rebounds?
