It seems this make a lot of sense. That BRM is a thing for professionals and winning players. Nonetheless, by affirming it we are certainly discouraging other users and players to move on and play poker.
I said that OP should go play money or freerolls because I felt it was not on psychological conditions.
@Poker Orifice said “if OP had no time to play how could it be playing these useless game?”
But the problem is not that OP hadn’t enough time: the problem is that OP had little time and try to play a lot or
hands anxiously. If OP could find time to play
real money it’s and lose his entire bankroll, it’s because OP admits that it cannot control himself.
If one player cannot control himself it’s wise to recommend a break off the tables, and if the player cannot do it, then play money or freerolls.
Sometimes people hypertext the meaning of some post, assuming too much without a good drop of common sense.
If the player is addicted it should not play any stakes. It should stay away of the tables.
Now, it’s not the first time that I read the same phrase here around the forum: “BRM is for professionals”. Okay, this is a valid point but brings a lot of questions that we should make before repeating it exhaustively.
It appears that some poker gurus had said that phrase and good players are repeating it like a mantra, without using a way to think what this statement really means.
We know that the great enemy of this forum is not rigged threads but lack of common sense and critical thinking.
And when I make a question like this, forum users simply lose their minds and don’t even bother to rethink what is been said.
Once again, I would like to ask you
@fundiver199 are you a professional poker player? Do you use BRM effectively? What are your advices for beginners and players passing through mental breakdown?
It seems obvious but I would like to quote something that might work for beginners or advanced players, the 3 basics of BRM:
- Only risk money you can afford to lose
- Only play at stakes that are in line with your poker skill level
- Be disciplined and patient when it comes to bankroll growth
Not sure if I can do it, but as long there are several articles of this site here, I would quote the source of these 3 basic principles of BRM:

In my humble opinion, we should stop repeating phrases and statements of what poker’s big shots states and start to think and rethink about what is being said and how does it work on practical world.
