Have You Ever Busted Your Bankroll in a Single Night?

StealTheButton · Feb 16, 2020

I play at stakes with 40 buy ins. However my first deposit was 4 buy ins and I lost 3 in a row. But bounced back.

possle · Feb 19, 2020

Unfortunately, yes! After getting some bad beats, becoming tilt and starting with Spin & Gos. BAD idea. Was playing every buy in. I mean every buy in towards 500$ Spin Gos. End of the story, 0$ left.

the worst is when you are winning, suddenly lose with AA against a 7 3, here comes the anger, and puts everything to lose

recoveryagent · Feb 19, 2020

yes i have as it doesn't take much to bust my bankroll. It really is tough bouncing back from it as well when you never deposit

Eeeek!

I have had to work on this issue myself, as it is the only factor of my game that can cause me to become a losing player. Be mindful of the fact that "bad beats" are an indicator (usually) that you are playing well. Also, ending the day with a modest loss due to bad beats is fine. Poker is a lifelong session, train yourself to be indifferent to daily/weekly/monthly results.

I found myself dipping a bit back into tilting after a couple of bad beats, and I would be inclined to jump into a "spin n go" or flip style game to try to quickly recoop those losses. This is a dangerous habit, which is completely counterproductive. Now, when I lose a few games due to bad beat, I simply stop my session and come back in a little while. If you know you are playing well at a given level or game, stick to what you are good at and forget about the swings, they happen.

2014-2015 I busted about 2 times. They were all off $50 deposits, but the biggest bust was from about $200 to $0. The biggest bust was also my last. I took about a month off, read a few poker books, then deposited another $50 which I've played off ever since.

marcelo benavidez · Feb 19, 2020

a lot of times!, i blame the spin & go, easy come, easy go....

du0rotan · Feb 23, 2020

Not in one night but it felt that way when I lost bankroll within three weeks or less as a new player. Took it quite hard so I stopped playing for a while. Came back a few months later, haven't looked back since seeing how this game have and can continue to help me grow as a person and player.

Have I lost my entire BR in one night?

azforlife · Feb 25, 2020

Oops, didn't meant to submit
So I have not lost it one night but have lost most of it one night.
I was actually up & was profiting for the night in the normal 1/2 game which I was nowhere rolled for then got the "call" lol from the 5/10 game which I crushed last time, this time it didn't go so well, Wow this was an actually insane night now that I'm going running backwards in my mind, I lost $1K then went back to my cheap hostel got out $600? Ran it up to $1500+ then got check raised all in with the nut flush draw & a pair on the FLOP vs aggro player & that was that!
Crazy times! Live poker is another level of degen

walkkking · Mar 23, 2020

Yes. Sometimes, but when you feel this you go and take a break and continue later.

nyeesssss · Mar 23, 2020

if youa re playing online cash 50 buy ins is a bankroll if you are playing tournamets 100+ buy ins is a bankroll. if youa re playing with less buy ins its not surprising to "lose it all"

dbchristy · Mar 23, 2020

Last night, first time I ever played some cash games, and I won like $10. But them I started to lose, and I got so mad that I started to pay all-ins to every one. Damn, I am so frustrated by my attitude that I'm thinking about quitting. Has this happened to you ever?[/QUOTE

A couple of bad beats back to back and tilt starts to set in for alot of players. I personally used to get frustrated and it affected my decision making to a certain extent. I learned to take a couple minutes to focus on something else and clear my head. Then jump back in and crush. Walk away don't stay when tilt sets in friend. Good Luck. 400 BB is a good bankroll for the level you play. 200 BB lost is pretty significant and should evaluate your play and ask yourself why you are losing dramatically in one session.

Good Luck To All

kingofnaps · Mar 23, 2020

Yeah, I've played outside of my roll many times and busted in a single night. It's alright this game is forever going to be fun for me

alex_dorda · Mar 23, 2020

rbackmann · Mar 24, 2020

Sadly Yes

kkuk · Mar 24, 2020

Oh, no of course, I could do it faster.

BILTIZ · Mar 24, 2020

OF COURSE

Hardieboy · Mar 24, 2020

Yes!! Unfortunately i have done this numerous times like a total idiot chasing money. Still havnt learned lol

SharkyJohn · Mar 30, 2020

Yes sir, in couple hours😂 I was just starting, so no blame pls. I remember losing like 70% of my bankroll so I got tilted (was losing every all in😂) so I decided to play more expensive games to recoup my everything I lost before, I made a mistake... I promised myself to never play poker again, and now I'm here😂 discussing poker and enjoy playing it, that was a good lesson👍
