I'm still alive...BARELY


I dropped a shitload of $ on day 3 of the burn...another $350 or so....
As far as poker goes I'm hoping to be reborn.

In the last 3 weeks I've been hanging tought at 1/2 200 max heads up and 6 seat...

I stumbled onto $1/$2 after winning $2000 there in two days about 3 weeks ago. Since then I've just been getting fucked...to make a long story short my bankroll went from $2300 to about $1400 which doesn't seem like a big drop but I withdrew about $1000 so I'm down to $400 which is pretty fucking weak.

My biggest accomplishment lately is that I've been playing a lot of $1/$2 and I've been taking "shots" at $300 max, $400 max, $600 max, and I even took a shot at $1000 max. I have no problem playing pots of any size. Its a fucking miracle that I've been able to play all of these big limit no limit games on my measly ass bankroll. The main issue though is that I haven't had any big winning days in 3 weeks and with all the other stuff I've got going on in my life I don't really have time to play poker and take it seriously cuz it's low on my priority list.

Today is March 3rd, if I had to take a guess I'd say that I'm up about $1500 in the last 2 months (playing part time a few nights a week). This isn't bad, and I'm happy to be winning, but I'm still not sure if I'm a winning player and I feel like I've been putting all of my poker energy into simply moving up levels and moving to short handed games and heads up games rather than really getting good at any particular type of no-limit hold'em. I've also been sacrificing thousands of dollars of my bankroll to get used to the various bet sizes and strategies at these new short handed higher limit games that I've been playing.

I'm happy with what I've accomplished but I'm discouraged because I've been playing poker for 9 months now (which is not a long time) and I have still yet to make a significant profit to justify the time that I've put into playing poker online at night time.
