Bankroll Management

I have played on Full Tilt for several years. I have never made a deposit. I had won up to about $ 65 dollars on freerolls and small buy-ins including a few ring games. Then I busted out in like 2 weeks. Since that I finished 2nd in a 2700 person freeroll winning $ 12 and have never looked back. I am now over $ 200 plus a $ 26 token. Everyone should read Chris Fergusons article on Bankroll management concerning haow much to play for before they start playing.:)

I've been broke numerous times but now I can't seem to deposit money because my bank doesn't like gaming transactions. Ultimatebet gave me $10 so I had to use that but now I got a 6 figure bankroll on UB. I got 89 bucks on cake. I blew all my money on FT when I got unlucky playing higher than I should have.

You have over 100K on UB? Seems hard to believe....

almost went broke on my first diposit.. but i guess i didn't take on-line poker to sericily when i started... because i was doing realy good off of 100$ deposit...(guess i got cocky)..i started playing stupid hand's.. and thinking all the other's were donk's...lost a lil more then 75% of my winnings..then starded losing my deposit as well...i stoped playing 4 a while and didn't play unless i was real into playing well

I go broke about 1 time a month when I cash out. Then I use affiliate and freeroll money to start all over again.

I've been broke all my life!. Bad question, at poker; once at FT after a month or two building a BR thru Fr's and I got too aggressive. I have prommised myself this will not happen again, I am trying to be selective in the hands played, and i am anal in attempting to manage my bankroll.

I think I am making progress.

iv busted my roll once, but with a bit of reading up on BRM, it wont happen again.

looking at what tonydamage said, that sounds like an awesome way of doing it, keep it off the sites themselves, but have it ready to play.
