🙈Last night in the 30k GTD Big O, I was 4th in chips near the end of late reg. 🤮Lost with strong AA2 double suited to complete nonsense. Didn't tilt. Stayed focused. Spun the short stack back up. Took another bad beat. Still didn't tilt. 🐺Rebought immediately because I knew my decisions were solid. Ended up 5th place on stream for our Skool members to watch live. Nice profit. 🍆Here's what made that possible: 🍆What being properly bankrolled means: - Having liquidity ready to rebuy at the last minute of a tournament without scrambling - Keeping 5-10 buyins in your online bankroll for quick rebuys without reloading - Maintaining a working roll while cashing out, not just keeping 1-2 minimum buyins - Taking shots when the spot is right, but knowing when to move back down The difference between being profitable and complaining: When you have one buyin and it's gone, you're done. You tilt. You blame variance. You call premium plays "unlucky." When you're properly rolled, you rebuy, refocus, and play your edge. The Math is Simple: - If your budget is 50 chips, play 5-10 chip games maximum. - Don't buyin for 50, wonder why you're broke, then run it up to 400, redeem 375, go broke again, and reload 25 seventeen more times until you're actually broke. - That's not variance. - That's terrible bankroll management, and it's completely avoidable. Bottom Line: 😭We've all been the person with one buyin crying about bad beats. Stop. Right now. Double suited aces losing to dead money isn't unlucky. It's poker. You want that spot every single time! The only question is whether you're rolled properly to handle variance when it goes against you. Get your bankroll right, or stay broke and mad about it. Your choice. - Wolf🐺
