A bumpy start

This is an update from The Freeroll Challenge.

Site: Point Poker

Bankroll: 126 Euro

So i got started yesterday with the relaunch of the freeroll challenge
Im playing at Point Poker and it was a pretty terrible start.
I had $170 but the currency at the tables at Point Poker is Euro, so it was 126 euros when they were exchanged.
The lowest 5 card omaha cash games at Point Poker are EUR 0.10/0.20 so i sat down with the maximum that im allowed, which is 5% of  my bankroll = 7 Euro.
I have been having problems focusing when playing poker, and although that i am aware of it, i failed yesterday and did not stay focused at the game.
Combine that with a few beats, and the roll quickly crumbled.
And with less than half a buyin at the table, i quickly became commited in the pots i played.
I took a few screenshots of some of the beatings.

I thought i was good with 2 pair and a open ended straight on the flop...

Since i flopped the nut full house i thought i would give my opponent just one free card. That turned out to be a bad idea.

Money got in on the flop pretty good, but that´s not always good enough!

I ended up loosing a total of 40 Euros which was a pretty big chunk of my roll.

So when i started today with 86 Euros i decided that i was gonna give it one last shot with 4 Euros at a EUR 0.10/0.20 5 card omaha table.
If i had lost the buyin i would have moved down to a  EUR 0.05/0.10 nl holdem table.
Fortunately i dident and i quickly went from 4 Euros to 21 Euros.
Since im making a buyin with 5% of my roll and im not allowed to sit with more than 10% of my roll at a table, i had to move.
This happened a few times and i ended the session with a total bankroll of 111 Euros.
