I'm not going to lie I've struggled with bankroll management in the past. I've lost most bankrolls I've tried to build, but I do have a winning track record because all the bankrolls I built online were from grinding freerolls, and working my way up.

My new year resolution was to be strict on bankroll management. I've had a few slip ups, but overall I think I've done pretty good with my discipline, and following my brm strategy.

Have you ever lost your entire bankroll? How many times did you lose your bankroll before you took off, and never looked back?
 
I lost my roll on Doyle's Room a few times. Not sure why there specifically. i was crushing Full Tilt and making some good bank playing the $250 GTD fixed limit nightly on Stars at the time.
 
Playing in person table games, more than enough.

I play for fun, but winning is sometimes fun to have some extra fun money.
 
I know I have years ago. There's only one time that really stands out. Since then, my bankroll management has been better. (And there was a period during the pandemic era and shortly after when I really didn't play much due to things going on in life.)

No one likes losses and more so when losing big. But it is a learning experience and you move on.
 
I've been there! Generally, it taught me how to manage my bankroll better. But I remember being financially destabilized for a while 😂

Proper bankroll management required descipline. I especially admire the fact that you have grown your bankrolls starting by freerolls. Having the required bankroll management skill is very crucial for a poker player.
