Oh my god part 2!!

Ok so.... with my account under $100 i was getting pretty nervous to say the least, i had been nursing this account along for like a yr and a half, so what to do next???

well i tried a few turbo tourny's as not enough time to fit a proper one in before work, so i start doing 2 at once, one $3 and one $6, but no joy with the cards, i am just running plain bad!! maybe a third place here or there but mostly just throwing away more money, and i can feel it coming...... TILT!!! i try to stop myself but sometimes i cant so i just play bad cards, raise with nothing and you know what??? i get what i deserve, bend over and take it like a man, hell i virtually dropped my pants for them!!

account now at like $15....... this is bad!!!

so now i go on to the 5c-10c tables with $5 on each, woohoo i make like $2 one day, then the red mist decends.... i am all in with 2 pairs turn blank my opponent has a pair just need to avoid trips.... river of course gives him trips!!! shit! what now... i load up my last $10 on 2 tables make some bad calls, play shockingly and before i know it i've lost it all!!!!!!!!

$300 down to $0!!!!! and for the most part i can't see what i did wrong, i know once i had the few bad beats i may have tilted a little, but even then it was mostly the coin flips or when i was ahead and just needed to dodge a miracle card, and everytime it hit me!!

so what now?? well i have £30 on betfair, but since they have there new software it just sucks!!! i have tried it twice and both times it just jerks along, before i can even see my cards i am asked to click, and when i do nothing happens then my hand is folded!! this happened 3 times, 2 tourny's where i couldnt play one hand, i came 3rd in both! but luckily i got my fees refunded!! so i gave it one more try, same again, so i decided betfair is not for me so i withdrew my £24

so now my decision is where to go from here??

what sites should i play on? where is good for games at 7:30-8:30 am??

i have my account with pokerstars which i will keep, but i gonna have to deposit say $50 in there which i hope to build up again, but should i play elsewhere? fulltilt? partypoker? i have an account with 888.com which i could deposit say $50 into,

What games should i play? cash or tourny? what level?

plus of course i clearly still need to improve my game!! any advice on calculating pot odds etc quickly for online play? plus reading players what things should i pay particular attention to?

student looking for a teacher right here

oh well, maybe some responses will help me decide

hello,

I think I can help you with your problem. Actually I faced this exact situation myself. I am a gambling fan and play a lot at online casinos. Before I read the 777.com charter for rating online casinos I didn't know how and which online casino would be the best one for me. I truly recommend you to read it. I hope I managed to help you.

Don't play cash games if you're relatively new to the game, imo much better to play a few SitNgo's in your bankrolls range. That way you wont lose your entire roll in one session but they are still good value.

Also very important: I read you wanted to play a tourney before work. A good rule to have is NEVER play when you don't have much time, you will usually just donk of chips wanting an early double up.

Hope this information helps you in some way, good luck!
