i.e. did not "work" -- except on a very short timescale.

No offense at all, man: anyone from Tulsa has got to be cool. But your startup streak is not uncommon at all. A surprising number of people pop up quickly when they first play online. LOL I popped up $500 my first week, with a $45 deposit.

Your first few months online are for finding your feet. Poke around at some games and see what you're good at. No, you don't absolutely HAVE to have 300BB to check out a game -- but your "main game", where your steady cash is coming from, should be planned out, played, and bankrolled properly.
