    Well as of 11:48 AM today, I busted out of stars. I still have money on bodog and UB, but the majority of my time was spent on Stars, so I'm effectively busto.

    So disappointing, I was hoping to build up my BR to eventually be able to sustain myself and forego having to get a job when I graduate. Sigh...work force FTW.

    So, I'm having to redeposit $50 and try to start back on the grind.

    Dammit.

    Anyone have a good busto story?

    No good ones I doubt. I built a decent 4000 tourney roll. Got pissed after I busted in a $5 45 man. And proceeded to play 3000 1.05 Hu matches. After losing all of those consecutively I took the rest out and bought the cheapest hookers and blow money could find...

    Man I wish I still had my roll.

    Based on a true story, some details were dramatically enhanced for your viewing pleasure.

    The first time I ever grinded 50 into 1,000 I decided to sit at 5/10 nl with the whole roll. Paul wolfe is to my left. I am on the button with A A, make it 30 to go, wolfe calls and the BB calls. Flop is 4 7 8 two hearts. Wolfe bets 105, BB calls 105 and I donk it all in for like 800 or so on top. Wolfe immediatley calls and BB folds he turns over 5 6...roll gone.

    Next time I grinded up to 2k from 50. BR management was going just fine, then I had a dream. So I sit back down at 5/10 nl and lose my first buy in. I was steaming so bad at this point so I reloded. It folds around to me in the SB I look down at a monster..Q 8 os. Obviously I am all in, (that $10 BB is looking really nice), auto call 88, he holds. Busto.

    The one thing I can tell you is I have experienced going busto multiple times after putting in long hours to get to where I was at. This first hand experience has taught me that BR management is the most important part of this game. I look at it like a long race, sprinting will get you an early lead, but if you stay on pace you slowly pass the sprinters by.

    Im on one of those rolls now.... Recently in the last 5 days turned 25$ on stars to 1,200$. Came in second in back to back 4$ 180 man sit n go's, won a double shoot out for the sunday million, won 8 straight smaller sit n goes... and have been crushing low limit cash game... This is about my 10th time turning a 25-100$ deposit to over 1k..... in the past Id either have to withdraw for bills or such, or also have had the busto NL situation occur a few times... Hopefully Ive taken the turn for good and have learned a hard lesson.... Imma just stick to low limit cash and 1-5$ MTT's.... its never fun to grind for a few days on end playing your A game, to just donk it off playing above your level.... good luck

    I had about a $9K roll at one point and quit my job (with the intent to look for a new one after I finished my last class and got my degree at a community college). Well 3 month go by and I get my associates degree and decided to just take it easy for the summer and keep playing poker for awhile. Another 4 months go by of playing poker pretty much everyday and I eventually got board and would only play a few hours a week. I also had a really bad tilt day and lost like 2K and took a month off. I was basically burning thru money and had no other income and not playing poker. I cashed out $2300 a couple weeks ago once my bank account hit $0 to pay all my bills, rent, car payment and have spending money which left me with a $200 bankroll. I actually just started training at eBay/PayPal on Monday (yes 2 days ago) after not having a job for 7 months so we'll see how that goes. My current BR is $800, and I just plan on playing HU Omaha sngs so wish me luck.
