Ugh... what can I do? I get all my money in the middle with AA and get beat by an 88 hitting its straight on the turn. The problem with no-limit hold'em is that at any given moment, even if you play perfect poker, there is potential to go broke.
Therefore, I vow to this day to stay away from No Limit cash games. Limit hold'em and tournament structures are fine, but man... my bankroll cannot handle the swings of no limit. I won about $1000 or so last month, maybe more. In no-limit I dropped around $700 within a week. It's crazy! I was watching some pros play a cash game last night, and they were throwing around thousand dollar pots like it was nothing. I mean, they buy in for like 10 grand and just play with it. Sometimes they play multiple tables at one time online, buying in for $10k each! That's insane.
I read somewhere that a poker professional can spend around $500,000 in tournament entries alone a year. And that on average, a professional has a bad track record when it comes to no limit cash games. How do people afford that kind of action?
Whew. Anyway, I intend to reread Super System 2, Sklanksy's Hold'em for Advanced players, and continue taking classes at that poker school online. I think it's the best way to deal with the slump; just bone up on the knowledge and stay away from the tables while on tilt.
