After being as high as 400Euro, my bankroll is now at 0. It all happened after I ran 3BI under EV 3 days in a row, including today which was actually 5BI's...

I just couldn't take it..I sat at NL200 and started feeling the heat go out of my ears...

I don't know what else to do, I've already lost 220Euro within 5 days but I put a deposit order for 320 more after I saw how soft Pinnacle was...now I'm not sure I want to...but I do want..

Seriously, I'm devastated...

Any of you guys have ANY idea how I can do this? I mean 350 dollars is a lot but 800 would be devastating...

It's good you mentioned about sitting at a NL200 table. Do you think you could ever be able to ride a motorcycle when you're not able to ride a bicycle ? I don't want to be mean or something, but you got what you deserved. Running 3BIs under EV is not the end of the world unless you're playing OOB, but thinking you can recover playing limits that you are not able to adjust to is a huge mistake which speaks about your self control.
I suggest you take a break. Study the game ! Post some of the hands you might have doubts about...I am sure this will help you improve your game. You said this is the second time you are losing your entire BR...maybe it's time to ask yourslef what really is wrong with you and your game...

I've been there before buddy. It really sucks. I would stick to BR management as best I could and then go blow it all away on some pipe dream of running good and getting up to the nose bleeds. I lost so many deposits up until last year. Not really sure what changed for me. I just surrounded myself in a more stable environment I guess. Leggo is a great place to be cause there are a lot of successful plrs on here. I still have times when I just want to sit at like 400NL or higher and run up my roll. You just have to keep a level head and think before u act. Poker has a very sharp learning curve, every time u think u know it all, u know less. Running bad is the most frustrating thing but u have to keep a cool head and just know u can get it all back if u use proper management. Perhaps go on a tighter BR system. I use closer to 40BI now and don't be afraid to move down until u can win it back or get some more money (that u don't need) together. Of course all this is easier said than done but I hope u can at least find a way to turn things around. Good luck to you.

sounds like you were playing out of your means and not using good BR management. You shoudl be able to lose at least 10 buyins at a level ur takin shots at and drop down to your bread and butter game to continue grindin without any financial issues and make that $$$ back.

Ok, so my 300 euro (other half of the bankroll, the one that wasn't there for me to tilt) arrived today to my account, and GUESS HOW MY FIRST SESSION LOOKS LIKE?!!!!

I know I'm probably sounding ridiculous now and that 5BI's under EV is standard, but -5 BI under EV sessions back to back, this being directly after a deposit, something is starting to smell here...

Now I'm down 5BI's more, 5 BI's more in the hole...I'm at my wit's end..seriously...wtf..
