[Closed] Lost my Bankroll

Hello alcotester,

It's a pity that you do not wish to stay, as Cardbender has politely pointed out to you, PokerStrategy has so much to offer you, even if you were not to invest again.

However, if you wish to have your account deactivated, please contact our support by creating a ticket using the this link.

I would respectfully advise you however, that PokerStrategy will retain certain personal information relating to your account in order to prevent abuse of its terms and conditions, not least attempts to secure more than one account and/or starting capital.

Once again, we are sorry that the great deal of strategy information, free videos, coaching sessions and sample hands help to name but a few, are not sufficient for you to consider staying.

We wish you well with your future poker playing, wherever that maybe.

Respectful regards,

Bart

You dont need to say sorry. It is my fault that I lost my bankroll. Maby I read not to much about poker strategy, or maby just poker play is not for me.

To be honest with, it had nothing to do with the software why you lost $50 in a day but its to do with the fact that

a) you didn't read the articles properly or follow their strategies and starting hands chart

b) you had no regard for bankroll management at all

If you ever want to be a successful player, even as just a hobbyist, then you need to realize that it doesn't just happen by you going to whatever table you fancy and just expecting to win and when you dont, you just blame the software and think its rigged rather than anything that you do.

You have to start at the bottom of the ladder and take small steps if you ever want to make it to the top of the ladder safely.

Regards,
-Steve

Hey we all make mistakes

Not enough space on this forum to list all of mine lol ♦

I can strongly recommend the "Tell a friend" scheme though. A good way to get your bankroll kick started again.

Forgot to mention before, but you could also consider doing some freeroll tournaments, ok not ideal, but might just give you a start again.

Good luck

The reason I believe you see more nice hands on online poker then live poker is because:

1. Online poker goes 10x as fast
2. More beginner poker players online, since usually on live poker everyone has played poker for awhile before they play for money. Due to more beginner poker players worse hands are called; therefore, better chance someone is going to hit a straight on a bad call.
3. Third and last reason is that your probably not paying 100% attention to that particular poker table on online poker so you only key in on the hands that straights +. Unlike live poker where you have 100% focus on that particular table and notice all hands.

Of course though it would not shock me if a couple online sights do raise the chance up for getting better cards, but the only one I saw that made me a bit wary was AP poker which this site does not sponsor.

there are worse players in live poker than online...
