:D This thread reminded me all those first days of my online poker gaming history, I used to depose every day or every second day . Then when I decided to have a bankroll , haha , this bankroll lasted for 3-4 days , a week most of the times , rarely more , because of my bad games and my tilt problems .

Especially the tilt , I mean I had a successfull 25$ session that was the result of playing for fun 20 hours PLO 5nl (or 2nl I don't remember ) ,then I returned and started playing more desiring more games and winings although I hadn't slept , it was Sunday , only to lose them all plus 10 more bucks in a variety of games , from PLO to zoom NLH , all in 1 hour hahaha , unbelievable , silly me .

To save my bankroll I play 20% of my bankroll. for example after a deposit of $ 200 I play in tournaments with a buy-in no more than $ 10.

I lost my bankroll many times when I raised it on freerolls, now I'm playing cash games for small bets or tournaments with no big buy-in!

I lost from time to time some deposits. It depends, how you define it. If you have other income then you dont have a bankroll or dont need a bankroll. Poker Pro Limon said, then you have "cash flow" instead of a bankroll, because you can always deposit.

That is a hard question to answer. I have deposited a few times over the years, never more than 50 bucks. But I have cashed out a good bit on Stars before the big no USA thing. I have now deposited 50 bucks split over a few different sites. I have some to play still on each and more than I invested on a different site.

It happened to me so many times that it can no longer be counted and how much money I lost, too, I do not know but I will say one thing if you decide to play poker should understand the risk.

lost many times... your bankroll many times accumulated with freerolls and lost because I moved to a higher limit which was not pokarmanu but then restores his igra cheaper
to lose accumulated a bankroll from scratch is harder than if I made it

I only play with the money I've earned with free-rolls. I had to start all over again a few times, but (also thanks to CC) I always managed to win something and play low fee games again, starting with 10 $0,10 normally.

I lost my bankroll 20 times and maybe more. Depositing no more than $ 10-15. I remember my biggest loss - $ 135. Interestingly, I merged the money mostly in cash games or MTTs. After losing playing freerolls, but there I was also unlucky. I continue to keep playing, now in the micro-stakes. The main thing is not to give up, and you're lucky)

I have lost my bankroll a few times. Right now I'm currently putting a new bankroll together. But I have two bankrolls. One for online play which is just a few hundred I deposit at a time across different websites. The other is for live play which can be as high as $10,000 depending on what stakes I play. Yes I hate to admit I have lost a $10,000 bankroll once over a year period. Still learning I guess.

I should say though that my overall winnings have made back that $10,000 and more.

I've never set a bankroll for myself, I make a deposit well and then I'll either win or lose everything and either lose or lose and make a deposit again)

I have never really kept track but it has been a long time since my last. The past 3 years I have been very strict with myself on bankroll management and managed to slowly grow a decent pool of cash to play with. I used to have an issue with going broke before I needed to make some financial changes and really started to pay attention to bankroll management and its affect on my mindset while playing.

Knowing that even if I lost what I brought to the table will not hurt my bankroll allows me to make better decisions instead of chasing a hand I think I need to win of folding a hand I am afraid to lose.

I never lost my bankroll and never spent any money with online poker. I think this happens because I'm very I'm very rigid about bankroll management.

I have found that if I play to long in live games then i tend to play different then my tournament style. I make bad decisions force situations and play for the draw and as I should I have lost my bank roll a few times in that same way...I'm a tournament player overall :)
