Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 7017142, member: 430261"] I'm sorry to say it has never happened to me, I have never lost my entire Bankroll on one game, Why? Because as others have said already, I use a Bankroll Strategy that works for me. It's no secret, and when you first start playing Poker, it is easy to believe that you can deposit X amount of cash and win the first game you register for, Poker is not anything like that, It takes time and dedication to become a Profitable Player, It is hard work and if you are not prepared to put the hours in, then you may as well quit now. Book's I have read have whole chapters on Bankroll Management and how it can work for you, Even some Tutorials on Line will dedicate a whole lesson on the subject, It's not Rocket Science, and I know from experience how down swings in your game can hit you, but sticking to a strategy that works is extremely important. I have had days/weeks where nothing seems to go right and I lose every game I register for, but sticking to a BR Strategy helps to cushion those days until I am back on form and can win more than I lose. I stick to a 1% strategy, which means I never buy-in for more than 1% of my Bankroll, So starting the day with only $100 in my account, I will not buy-in for anything more than a Dollar, If I had $1,000 in my account than a $10 buy-in would be my top limit. I know some players who will say that it is too extreme and 2% would be better, but I use what works for me and I am Profitable. I have had days where I have played for 10 hours straight, buying into Dollar games and not cashing in any of them, but at the end of the day, I have only lost 10% of my Bankroll Limit, Coming back the following day and cashing in every game I buy-in to. Poker On-line is not a Milk machine that you can milk whenever you need extra cash, It is highly competitive, and there are good players on every level, even on the $1 buy-ins, Some don't even care if they Win or Lose in a Dollar game because they can afford to burn that money and Like myself only play On-line for Fun! I wait for my Live games before I start to get really serious about playing Solid Poker, but it is no Fun when you are losing money hand over fist! [/QUOTE]
