I am struggling and breaking even for the last 2 weeks or so... I don't know if it's my poker or any other circumstance that is the reason for the struggle but it doesn't change the fact that it's been very hard.
I have been playing NL10 and breaking even and even losing some. I tried playing NL25 6-max and I got outdrawn few times and lost there also, and then I snapped and went on one NL50 6-max table and entered with $15 which is not something I like to do, but as chance wanted I got payed there for everything I didn't get to turn into profit at NL25 and NL10. I sat at the table and made those $15 into $90 in 50 hands. I don't plan on playing this way or sitting at the tables above my bankroll any more and I certainly urge everyone else not to do it because it's an EV- process. I myself did it because I was getting desperate and it was the last money I had left at that particular site (I keep my roll at Moneybookers) so I decided to gamble, and that's what it really was, a huge gamble hoping to make a fast profit based on the previous bad beats and maybe bad plays.. I basically thought that it can't run that bad any more and that it's better to try and get into the rush on a higher level cause the profit there is also better. As I said, I will not do this again because I don't think that I can really make any progress and profit like that. Any other time, and I would be at $0 at that particular site..

Even though my poker isn't really working for me right now, I still have to praise all the people at Bet The Pot Forum that helped me improve my microstakes game and what is more important, they helped me realize what is really important and EV+ for me.. I just need to start REALLY using their advices, even though I think I am getting better at that..

Also, I will try and find myself some bonuses to grind out at these micro stakes in order to ensure that even if I break even or lose while I play, I will still have my "bad beat insurance" in the form of bonuses.. I never really appreciated much people who hunted bonuses just for bonuses, but I don't consider myself that kind of a player and I will use them only to cover my losses and of course to give me extra boost when needed...
