Downswings, Bankroll Mismanagement, Doubt.

In this profession, I'm learning at a rapid rate what works and what doesn't. The biggest thing is having an inflated ego in terms of skill and not dropping back down when the bankroll is being threatened

That's exactly what we did, after our first shot at NL5 did not go well due to variance and mistakes we had roughly 110$ left, still enough to play NL5, but why not just hit 25k hands played @ NL2, then take another shot with a bigger bankroll. We also put money on CoinPoker to increase how much we are playing even more. 

This is our damn job! We must start treating it like such even more so than what we have, so yeah the title picture of this article is our graph after our NL5 attempt but this is what it looks like now We crushed NL2 last time and I think we gotten even better since then, 6 tables off stream 4 tables on stream like we should have 30k hands per month since we are doing this for a living.

This shows we can step back and assess how things are going and not be i don't know too proud or have an ego and then burn up a whole bankroll or stick at NL5 until we are down to 50$? Nah just drop down lets get 25k hands at NL2 or 150$-175$ in the bankroll from NL2, then do NL5 again. We know the pool is weird not as deep as NL2 but still we can make it happen, i think too much stress on the bankroll, 4 tables at NL5 with just a ~130$ bankroll? swings were bound to make us question and doubt.

Should've stuck with our first mind but we HAVE to start producing revenue off of this venture soon this was a good bounce back what we are doing does work, we just have to work on the mental even more so. laughing to myself because once we are at NL100 going through it this time will seem so small. 

Lots of work ahead and I'm excited for it.  Here is our last session, 6 tables 2hours, made some $, proved we can play 6 tables too.
