    I recently turned 18 and started my online career. I started with just a few small deposits of around $50 each. I built that with a few small tourneys and sng's. Then i managed to get deep in a thirty dollar mtt for 1.7K. Just after this i won another couple grand in various tourneys and sng's. I raised my stakes once again and then had my first big score in a hundred dollar tourney for 8K. (Would have been 12K but i went heads up with SCTrojans.) I stayed even for a while and then hit my biggest cash ever. I took second place in the stars nightly $162 for 20K. This put me on cloud nine. I proceeded to go on a huge cold streak though. I havent done anything since then, and that was May 30th. I cashed the majority of my money out to pay for college though, but i cant seem to keep money in my account anymore. Anytime i get deep in a tourney i make a horrible play at a really bad time. It seems like i start tourneys on tilt. I just wondered if anyone had any advice about how to get out of a slump? I know i could take a break but if so, how long?

    If your serious, quit depositing $50 at a time, put back 1k and start grinding 1/2 LHE (or .1/.25NL) until 2k and then proceed to 2/4 - or keep taking 1/1000 chances at rebuilding your BR the way you did the first time

    Looked at you play schedule. Maybe go for less volume and more focus for a while until you cash well.

    Good luck.

    I recently turned 18 and started my online career. I started with just a few small deposits of around $50 each. I then proceeded to make a few more deposits of $200 each because the first ones didn't work. I then made some more dpesits after going busto like countless times. I am now down $1000 and my bank account is negative. It only took three months. I even came 3rd in a $20 MTT and lost all that and more thanks to money tilt and cold running.
    GTFO it could be much worse stupid kid.
