When you make a big bluff online

[Talking Poker]

Sounds to me like you are playing above your bankroll. I've learned my lesson in giving out this advice (or have I?), but if you are bluffing 20% of your bankroll in a single bet, or sitting with half your roll at a given table... I think that might be too risky. IMO.

i realized that and have since moved down to the 25nl tables per someones advice. I knew it was above my bankroll just didnt know how much over it was. Now im 3 tabling 25$ tables. Just dont seem like the players are any better/worse at any of the limits i have played. I do understand that this risk of losing my whole roll was at stake. well 75%. But i was so excited to have won so quickly that i let it go to my head a little.

For me, it's not so much the big bluffs that get me out of my chair. It's when I get all in with Aces preflop in a tourney (or a monster on the flop) and get called by a much weaker hand. That's what sends me to my feet... knowing I'm a HUGE favorite and thinking "No Jack! No Jack! No Jack!" (or whatever the case may be). Sometimes I actually double up, but if I had a nickel for every 2 outer that took me out of a big tournament.... ggrrrrrr.....

Maybe I should try some Jedi mind stuff on the computer dealer:
*Wave Hand Across screen*
"You will put a blank on the river."
"I will put a blank on the river."
