TILT ALERT!!

ok, firstly please check out my previous post as al thoughts bout what games i should play live at sovereign poker club are appreciated!!

ok 2ndly i don't feel any different but i am pretty sure i am on or a whisker away from a serious bout of tilt that wood seriously dent my quickly shrinking bank roll!!

all was going well til bout a week ago, i had slowly been grinding up taking the odd risk here and there but it was paying off

then i had those 3 days on holiday where i made $200 and got up to $600 roll

since then i have either played bad or got sucked out on!!

i made $10 this morning before work, only to go and lose $20 at lunch, and then the crazy set in!!


i had about $450 so what do i do...... i only went and put $100 on the table!!! jesus!!

in about 10 - 30 mins it was gone, to be fair i got done by AA, KK and was out kicked with top pair and str8 draw

jesus, i need to get my head str8 quick!!

so now down to $350 still a workable roll but how long will it take me to get back to over $500.....

damn it!!

ok so whats my best course of action guys? i know i should def drop a few limits so whats ur thoughts??

should i drop to:
pennypoker 2c/4c tables
5c/10c i.e $10 buy in
or 12c/25c i.e $25 buy in

??

i know i been seeing too many flops, trying to be too creative with suited connectors and mid pairs etc, thing is those are the hands that if i can hit i will build my roll a lot quicker then just waiting for premium hands that generally win small pots or get sucked out on for big pots

i think its a good idea to drop down in limits when ur roll is down...just to get ur confidence level up.. and what u wanna do is just play tight-agressive as u want to build up ur roll consistently to the point where u r able to play at a limit where u can play suited connectors in semi-loose-agressive agressive way..
i dunno if this helps lol.. but gl!

shouldnt do anything just yet! dont play at all, this happened to me, twice! the 1st time i carried on despite people telling me to take a rest, i ended up losing more. Take a few days at least, a week is better, and just dont play poker. Watch poker! Read poker! think poker! but dont play, honestly helps, you come back with a clean vision of what you want to achieve and you play better poker, my advice to u =)
