How many times have you lost your bankroll and how much did you lose?

If you don't completely lose my bankroll anymore, consider a time where you significantly lose a good portion of your bankroll the same as losing your bankroll entirely (enough that you significantly re-evaluate your bankroll and reduce your buy-ins accordingly).

The add-on question is: what type of games do you play after you have had a cool-off and come back to it?

So many times, I've only used money won from freerolls so my bankroll is always a low amount. Highest I've had is around $50, and mostly it's lost doing the casino challenges on pokerstars

A couple of times I lost 10 $ minimum deposit in some poker rooms. It was bad blows mostly, and once the shit-room just did not want to pay anything. This also sometimes happens, I often experiment with registering in different little-known poker rooms. In general, this is not a problem for my overall bankroll.

When I first started I lose it twice in like 3 weeks, but since I've been on the forums I haven't lost it since *fingers crossed*. It's really one of those things that you kinda have to have happen to you before you really start to pay attention to it and manage it a lot better and just comes with practice. Just always remember to never put up money you can't afford to lose!

Deposited $390 turned it into $675 of tournament bucks on ACR then played all the major tournaments for $30k guaranteed or higher did not cash a single one.

Deposited $200 turned it into $4494 lost it 4 months later in cash games.

Deposited $350 lost it with 20 buy in bankroll management realized my risk of ruin is still to high with 20 buy ins. It is suppose to be 60 buy in for cash game.

I've lost my bankroll several times, but the amounts are not large. Basically it's on poker roulettes Spin & go, Beat the clock or in knockout tournaments.

I want to give you some advice before losing your bankroll .. try to build it from scratch ... I mean build it playing freeroll ... in my case I have lost it many times ... and when I lose my bankroll I submit to return to build it playing the freeroll ...!

I keep building my bankroll and move up in stakes in cash games just to loose it on solid hands, from couple of hundred to couple of thousand but I stopped playing cash games entirely and just play tourney's, mostly large number of participants for practice, since I won't blow my account. But a good rule of thumb is to stay away from cash games period and focus on tournament play technique and freeroll with large groups of participants. For the love of the game. ��

I lost my bankroll as many times as I made a deposit. However, several times I was lucky. I raised more funds than did deposits. Now I do not invest money in poker, because I think I play poorly.
