I'm new to poker and in the last 2 weeks i lost 200$ which doesn't seem like alot but it is.. considering that 200$ Is total of 10/20$ that i deposited almost everyday when my balance reached zero again. I don't make new deposits with hope of winning money back, I do it because poker is fun, and i'm addicted. I like the feeling when i win the pot and it makes me want more. Thats why i need help.. I don't mind being brake-even player.. I Just want to keep playing poker without needing to make new deposits every day..
First week when I started playing I didn't really care about strategies.. I Just played nl2. My bankroll was slowly going down all the time. This week i tried TAG approach to the game without reading much into any guides and i started to win more often, but eventually lose. Yesterday I found these 3 articles, and applied things that i learned from the first link which is about TAG playstyle, but yet to learn more about stealing blinds

And finally after reading into it, I made another deposit of 10$ and at the end of the day my bankroll was 55$ which could be even more (65-75) if not my destructive habbits.. Which made me lose everything today.. From 55 to 0 again.. And it's not like i turned 10 into 55 in couple lucky minutes.. My bankroll was going all the time up through my whole play session, had 40, lost 10, made it back, had 50, lost 6 and made it back etc.
I was impressed that one guide improved (i think) my game. I started paying attention to my positions, started folding good hands more often, overall i think i played better..
I'm Just trying to figure out what made me lose it all again.
Is it luck i had yesterday that made me win some or are that my habbits?
Basicly everytime i win bigger pot on nl10 i feel more comfortable risking money on not that good hands, c-betting, 4betting, all risky plays i try to figure out Just to win the pot and not to lose money i have already put in that pot. That makes me go back where i was before winning the pot. For example: 8$ before winning the pot, 14$ after, couple minutes later and i'm at the 10$ At this point I'm starting to fear losing my buyin, still trying to play TAG, but when i don't hit the flop i try to cbet which in 80% cases called, then i double barrel etc. And in couple minutes when i'm at 5$ I start to play like completly fish which makes me lose rest of my buyin.
But i still don't understand why i Lost all of it.. I tried to play like yesterday.. Today i Lost to many more better hands than mine.. Yesterday when it came to showdown, i was winner like 70%-80% of the time, today it was like 30%
Don't know if you can track my stats online, I don't have computer atm so i cant show it to you but i play as a mangogp|p* on pokerstars
Seriously need help, guides.. anything.. I feel so down after losing it all again.. Thought i finally figured it out.. Maybe yesterday there was many more worse players than me playing, maybe because of that i made some $
Also i'd like to know if im so called fish, based on things that i wrote here?
