Many times. Most of the times when I deposit money, I start with a good winning streak, sometime doubling my bankroll. And without fail, there comes a turning point where I cannot win anymore, and I see my bankroll disappear before my eyes. I can almost predict when it starts. Almost as if there is an algorithm working against me.

I agree, it almost seems impossible that you can have so many losses in a row. You seem to lose very quickly after doing so well to build a decent bankroll ... it has happened more times than I would like to admit... and once again just the other day.:mad:

Sometimes I get tilted and then register events that I should not. Then I get unlucky there as well and I lose too much to recover.

Lost my bankroll several times 13-14 years ago. Would just replenish it rinse and repeat. Then I won enough on Poker Stars one day and bought a couple poker books from their store when I cashed out. Haven't looked back since. When my roll is low due to cashing out I just grind it up like I'm doing now on ACR. From 17 cents to $43 now. Freerolls and little boy tournaments. Was at $58, but lost some playing cash. Will be getting a laptop hopefully this week so I can resume playing tournaments again.
So, didn't get the laptop. Still playing 5c/10c blitz on ACR. Bankroll dropped to $36, then rebounded to $160 earlier today. Presently sitting on $140 after a losing session before dinner. Had reached $152 last month before posting here in March. Dropped from $43 to $36, then made adjustments. Played fewer hands and very few big river bets called, unless Spidey sense tingling. And always tried to leave session ahead. Even if only a few dollars. No intention of letting this bankroll get crippled again. Can't wait to start playing tournaments and only risking 2-3% of bankroll.

In all my bankroll when I leave strategy aside and want to play formal emotional. I go on tilt and bet everything in one hand. I always hurt myself with that. I think I'm a big fish.

Don't be sad, because I know that you don't have to exceed ten percent of the bankroll for a tournament or a cash game to play with peace of mind. The same has happened to me several times when I entered a state of badbeat in the past and present

More times than I can count in all types of gambling. Just bet what you can afford. Stay away from the damn Casino tab!

I have lost some of my bankroll, but I usually stick to freerolls as this doesn't cost me to play. It is fun when I win in the freerolls as mentioned, I won some bitcoin a long time ago and today my winning is close to 35000. So not too bad.

Of course!

Luckily as I got older I figured out that $100 is not a proper bankroll for $50 tournaments.

As a freeroll-only player, i often lose my all of my bankroll wishing for a good spin and go or micro tournament. Of course it depends on how much is your budget and your expectations. It is not the same managing a $5 dollar bankroll as a $100 dollar bankroll.

Once
lol to whom it has not happened is because he has not played poker it has surely happened to all of us and not just once if we do not handle our bank well this will become routine always lose it
:deal:
I heard a poker pro say how some pros would sign contracts, get loans orrrrr split it with rich people in order to participate in wsop because they were close to being broke:(

several times, but that's how the game is, (as it is called stake and chance)

Sort of. Back in the day, I would deposit $20 at the weekend and play a few $2-$5 tourneys. Most of the time, I would have no money left by the end of the weekend.

Nowadays, I am more sensible and organised. I play $0.5-$2 tourneys and have a much more stable bankroll. I have never busted my roll playing like this.
