    i've won a fair bit on party poker, but have just broke even after getting a bit carried away, was about 200 up at one point.

    so i'm not going to bother re-kindling my addictions :lol:

    I usually go up but then I'll start losing it all again. Then once i've lost a few times I start playing differently for some reason, which makes things even worse and I lose even more. Then I'll not go for a while then I'll be good again lol.

    :spangled: Gonna have a game now. Just a $10 tournament like

    Tis odd like you can do ok for a while then play more have the worse run of luck for weeks after and end up even or worse again.

    Its at that point u should just walk away, knowing its a bad run (easier said than done!)

    I aint had to deposit for over a year now but ive been stuck on about a £1,000 in my acc on Pokerstars for 9 months now ... win a couple of hundred then lose again... :lol:

    Currently tryin to qualify for a $2 million dollar GTD turbo comp on sunday!

    This might be a stupid question, but I've never bet online so don't know, but is that £1000 actual money?

    If so why not withdraw most of it? Can't imagine it's much use in an online poker account, and doubt it's earning interest or anthing.

    Or do you regularly need that much in games?

    my best streak was when i got a $25 "please come back and give us your money" bonus from Party Poker! Ended up getting about £100 off it in one afternoon playing tourneys!

    as for £1000 tho :eek:

    Thats actual cash. Yes i can withdraw it direct into my bank acc or get them to send me a cheque.

    But u need a bankroll to play with at same time.
