Over the years I lost my entire bankroll several times but I knew how to find myself and not lose hope, I bet and I won, there were ups and downs like in every field, it is important to be optimistic and not you beat yourself up

i lost it many times when i was a biginner but with times i learned how to manage it
first i did identify why i lost my bankroll, always the problem was aggressive bankroll building strategy i was putting a lot of my money in play bulding my bankroll fast But as soon as i lose one big plot,i am done. i just keep chasing the loses until i lose all the bankroll
i always take a break and calm down and move forward and learn from my fails that is it
ADVICE from me you should never place bets or play with money you can't afford to lose
good luck ;)

I've lost my bankroll twice. Both times I stopped playing poker for a bit then started again on a new App with a new bonus.

I always lose it or take it back. I like to start banking with freerolls!

I started from zero in many sites I guess in 2011/2 when I was in Highschool and worked on building small BR by freerolls. Even after changing to real buy in games I never went entirely broke. Normally I set myself a min BR limit when I stop playing games with buyin and change to freerolls again.

In 2023 I have a good income and could spend pocket money on poker, but so far I have only deposited 50€ and still follow my BRM rules. Slightly in negative at the moment but on the way to climb and once I have reached a decent BR I will also withdraw my initial deposit again.

I never plan to loose my own money as this is not entertaining me :) so I will also stick to my BRM in future. money I have earned on the tables and via freerolls is a gift and I have no problem to invest it in new tables

It has been done many times. I never actually lost my money because of poker, but because of the casino.
Now I'm trying to work normally on my bankroll and not waste my hard-earned money. You have to avoid the casino, you have to be patient and then you can get as far as you like.

It is important to accept bad days and work harder but what you did in situations when tilt ate you and you lost all your money?
If I lose my bankroll, for example in a cash game, I bet on sports events until I win it back. That's the golden rule for me: never go minus every day. It's simple - that's why I'm a plus player at pokerstars. And I rarely lose my bankroll in cash games. My style is very different from freerolls. :cool::eek:

As I mostly play freerolls and microstakes it isn't possible for me to lose my entire bankroll. If I get stacked it depends if a donkey just got lucky, then I will reload and try again.

Good morning everyone, I never lost a bankroll, I started playing poker at the end of 2018, and from the beginning I was always profitable, the main reason for that was that at the beginning I played a lot of freerolls on several different sites, I won a few dollars and I played lots of up to $3.30, right at the beginning I finished in 6th place in a $3.30 KO from pokerstars, even though I knew almost nothing about poker.
I learned how to play enough to be profitable at micro limits, I watch a lot of videos on YouTube and Twitch, videos of final tables, but I made a lot of mistakes and every time I won I would withdraw the money, today I was supposed to be playing Mtt for up to $22 dollars but I keep playing micro because I'm always cashing out when I win.
If you want to be a professional player and make a living from poker, avoid cashing out to climb the limits and study hard.

I lost my bankrol hundreds of times. What was I doing then?

I paid again. My problem is that I have been playing for 12 kat and never according to bankrol management. I play amateur and deposit.slbie 20-40$ I play a tournament with one arrow and that's the whole story. Sometimes I win sometimes I lose . I am a break even player.

I started everything from scratch, it's very unpleasant when you lose all your money during a tilt, sometimes it might be better to just stop playing poker and forget about it, because it can happen again the second and third time

Thousands of times, it is normal to lose your balance at the beginning. You just need to control yourself to avoid losing and return more cautiously.

I lost my cash many times but I always try to be positive and win again with a minimum investment. But I hope the day comes when I don't lose my money anymore and I can be a great professional player.

This has happened to me at least three times. After I lost my bankroll, I would just take a break, for a few weeks, and start all over again. But every time I started with poker courses for beginners :)

I broke down several times and felt really bad, but I always manage to get back up again in the freerolls!
