Message: [QUOTE="Atreide, post: 1840244, member: 85768"] When I see clearly that I've been loosing money lately what I do is going to cheaper tournaments (I only play tournaments) Started with 50 euro deposit. And Yeap, I guess I had been lucky with fake money in Pokerstars and I tempted to think poker was so easy. I would start playing 1$ sti&Go and tournaments... And I was so lucky I remember the way I used to play and takes me a while to see why, but I won one of that 90 persons tournament. 22$. It looked fantastic, I was over my initial bankroll with my loose aggressive type of play with just some basic knowledge of initial cards (Better high than low no real attenttion to suited ones and any couple is just better than no couple... NO matter they are AK... I guess that resumes pretty much what was my knowledge at that moment concerning preflop hands).. Concepts like anything but putting all my money in as soon as I felt I had the best hand wouldnt go for me. Yeap... Just like that, I quitted playing 1$ tournaments when I was around 15$ left (From my more than 70 initial ones)... And yes I felt very stupid trying to recover through 0,10 tournaments (6,6$ to win if you bet the other 359 people in) all the money lost dollar per dollar... Even winning many of theese it is going to take me a while to recover my initial 50 euros. Well life wasn't so easy... When I reached less than 7$ I started to play this crazy pokerstars Sit&Go 0,02$ 990 players. Just yesterday I won my 3rd 4,40$... And I tell you... I AM GONNA GET MY MONEY BACK. Its just a matter of time. More important to me at this point is to learn the game anyhow... You mention that you think you play with better cards than many of the guys that beated you. Well that is why they put money into the game, because they have a chance. That is what makes so much money going around this game. I used to play backgammon I was so obsessed with the game that I seriously thought of dedicating myself to it. Forget it, anyone putting money in a backgammon game is at least an excellent backgammon player, not so for poker, anyone than knows how to play the game can play money on poker, because they do have a chance... Concerning some backgammon players, I tell you, if you havent read a couple books you have no chance execpt in what concerns to a miracle. [/QUOTE]
