To be honset, i've only been playing for a short while after coming across Poker completely by accident in my local area, which involved a pub league.

In the time i've been playing i have been trying to assess every type of play that goes on. While i've been playing, things in Poker like game play have just come to me rather than learned.

Recently i've kind of learned to manage my bankroll after some madness by myself and recently i came up with a gameplan. The only problem was in the time i came up with the gameplan. I lost my job, the poker league structure changed on a scale i wasn't expecting (my gameplan was in conjuction with the previous structure) and now have to do night work.

So basically the whole plan went to pot. Isn't that an old saying "Best laid plans go to pot". I didn't believe it at first, but guess what i do now!

For the time being though, i think i will stick to low level stakes till i can come up with a plan again. I know i should have a break and i do, i'm just worried if i don't keep the game fresh in my mind i'll just not want to play because i'll always think the worst.

For me it's like a vicious circle, some bad beats (usually runner, runner's) some chill time with Poker, then a nice victory or two. Then back to the beginning again. This is why i implemented my own bankroll management, to try an understand what the hell is going on. I'm worried for the time being in going into higher stakes because it still don't stop the inexperiened (less experience then me) players from going into these games.
