play low stakes m8 £1 dym's etc £1.10 deep stack as you say,freerolls etc. it's the best thing imo. you can re-build your b/roll back up again i'm sure of it,you only have to see what GaryQQQ is doing atm,to see what can be done. brm has let you down,that's all mate. learn from it and i'm sure you'll be back to your old self again very soon. idcu was down for a while as he says,but in the long run it has helped him i'm sure. it's horrible being where you are right now,and it feels like the end of the world,well not quite but you know what I mean.but there is only one way to go...upwards.
come on mate,let's see that b/roll moving up again. you CAN do it.
They say you need to go broke at least once to know you never want to do it again. I was quite lucky in that I got it out of the way quite early on, but it sounds like you've been at this poker lark for a good while.
Anyway, can't think of any real advice, hope you run better.
Seen you on many of a final table so theres no doubt you are a quality player. Downswings are a pain for sure. As for the 600 quid tele blablabla, as far as im concerned winnings are meant to be spent on things you need/want so who cares about that.
I'll be keeping track of this diary (short or long lived) and wish you the best.
Is this still going? If so it's already lasted longer than some diarys I've seen launched here in the past Good luck. BRM discipline ftw. Posted by GaryQQQ
You're a good player Ryan and will definitely bounce back. And if you have to deposit again, take heart from the fact you have't had to for so long...hundreds of people have to deposit on a regular basis!
Hi waller you are a solid player and will bounce back.We all have bad runs and lose money.Difference in you and others, is you have the skill to turn it around.Grind the dyms waller.I made a little profit in them,so anyone can do it lol.Best of luck mate.
Ryan with team mates like that having a go at you your in the wrong team ( TPT returns accepted). Your not allowed to withdraw some of your BR? Blimey if I ran my BR like that I'd be minted on Sky but up to my eyes in debt in real life.
You've learnt your lesson the hard way and know when your out of your depth. Play at a level your comfortable with and I'm sure you will turn it around. I wish you the best of luck.
I'm still struggling on........I plan to play DYMs today and I'm also having a go at the freerolls to try and win a seat into the £400BH and the Mini. I may or may not have a £1.60 sat attempt for the 8k BH too (bad BRM, which is what got me into this mess but I have too little to worry about that....I have to go for broke!)
Last night I played the £1.10 DS and finished out of the money. I also played 11 £1 DYMs, winning 7 and losing 4.
Start BR = £6.27 (£4 odd to come with C4P) Current BR = £6.52
Bear in mind that £1.15 DYM's are raked at 15% whereas £1.00 HU STTs are raked at only 5%. For this reason you should be able to make a much better ROI in the HUs. For example; 60/100 wins in £1.15 DYMs returns a profit of £5.00, that's an ROI of 4.34% 60/100 wins in £1.05 HU matches gives a profit of £15.00, ROI is 14.28% Posted by GaryQQQ
Cheers gary might give them a go. Which structure do you recommend?

The faster they are the lower your edge. If you have the patience play standard speed. A standard speed HU match takes no longer than a DYM and you play far more hands, so boredom shouldn't be a factor.

ok ty for the advice. Will start playing a couple later and see how things go.
good luck on this waller well done on withdrawing some to buy yourself something. why not treat yourself when you've done the hardwork to get the br in the first place. wish i was in that position! you've done it once, you can do it again good luck
