I always made tower from scratches like I made 550usd once winning 3rd position in 888poker freerolls. But just because of my casino love I lost it completely.
So maintaining a bankroll requires great discipline.
I am still learning how to be a disciplined player.
I know I am a better player. I know how to win but I fall in the frivolities of the casino which makes my bankroll zero.
I have deposited up to 80usd max yet but made more than 1000 dollars just via freerolls.
But still I must learn how to be a disciplined player..
Because of the improper conduct of bankroll once again I lost everything. At the end of the month I will throw money and start all over again. I think many are suffering from a lack of discipline in the conduct of bankroll. Luck made me too self-confident. Do not repeat my mistakes.

So we agree upon one point that we lack discipline. Well we are all humans and it is in our nature to do mistakes.
Let us try our best to cope with this
I worry that even with proper bankroll management I'll still go broke (as I always seem to go broke. I've never made a single withdrawal from online poker, I deposited countless thousands though)
2 weeks ago I made a $100 deposit, put all of it on a .5/1 zone poker table (Bovadas version of rush or zoom) and ran it up to $600 in about 4 hours. The next day, on a whim, I sat down at a 2/4 table and won $300 in about 3 minutes. From there I would grind my bankroll up to $1600 by about 8pm that night all on 2/4. It only took about an hour to drop back down to $250, almost all of it going to one guy who by the time I left the table was sitting at 1800 (more than 4 times the table max buy in) before I went back down to .50/1 and was broke 2 hours later. Ironically I didn't feel outplayed, I just got unlucky a lot. My hands weren't holding up at showdown (not born crazy, just getting out kicked or his two pair beating my two pair, stuff like that) Sadly, I've done this many many times. I always seem to go broke. This time jumping up on stakes was the problem, but it seems that I always end up loosing no matter what stakes I play.
So here I am. On Friday in depositing $1000. I'm going to only play .5/1 till I've doubled my bank roll, then jump up to 1/2 of its profitable, if not I'll stick with .5/1 till I've padded the bankroll some. Once I hit 4K I'll give 2/4 another shot (honestly felt those tables were easier then the lower stakes. Granted I only played on 4 or 5 tables over the course of one day, it could be annonaly) but always try to stick to the 10x buy in rate, if not 20x or even 30x depending on how I'm doing.
The second part is regulating my play. I've been analyzing it a lot the last week or so, and what's becoming increasingly clear is I am simply calling too often. 80% of the time when I think on beat but call anyway, I was correct. That 20% isn't outweighing the other 80% (as my hitting the virtual felt can attest to) I'm hopeing I can show enough discipline to not only stay in the limits I'm rolled for, but also make these tough lay downs when I seem to be beat. Only time will tell. But I know this, it's make it or break it time.
