Slevins: One day at a time

Slev ...I really am surprised by what I'm reading.when we chatted before the sweat sesh we did,i talked about no deposit options to get your bankroll going without risking any more of your own money ..Next thing we're reading that you have deposited 26$ anyway because you couldnt wait and hey i've learnt my lesson now I'm going to grind this up and use bankroll management.
you still play omaha though which i think is probably higher variance than holdem.then we're reading that you are playing 20$ double or nothings and roll is approaching $200 all in less than 5 days. As Dranger said you're now thinking of virtually skipping 5NL and jumping to 10nl.
The whole theme running through this is that you have no patience. You want it all and you want it now.You're mouthing words like bankroll management but maybe in your case the words being used should be RISK MANAGEMENT. this also encompasses bankroll management but you should really step back and think how risky every part of your play is. Why be a jack of all trades instead of mastering one . It comes across as though you get bored incredibly quickly with one particular game and jump across to another. Whiilst some skills will transfer between games they all have different skill sets. Youre playing omaha, 5NL and SNG's. Why can't you just pick one genre and try and master it. You can still move up the levels and the game will change as you go .
It also screams of the gambler in you being unfettered and coming out to play. ok you didnt donk off all the bankroll (yet) but you are putting far too high a % of your roll on the line at any one time. Have you actually withdrawn any and put on one side as a contingency fund ..or is that always going to be a case of i'm going to get to the next level before i do that .
Maybe for you , what you should be doing is giving a commitment to only playing one type of game and instead of a monetary amount before you move up , set a date and bankroll before you move up .i.e commit to grinding 5NL for a month unless the bankroll drops to $100 when you'd then move down.You could then only move up for 11th Aprill and as long as you have a $300 bankroll. this will help to drum in some patience and reinforce the bankroll management.
