If you lost all your bankroll, would you start again?

MATTBAMATIDWELL · Aug 14, 2019

Most likely yes. I would make the come back roll legit for the stakes I want to start at then follow good BRM. If you do that and stick to it this should not be a problem over and over again. You might have to drop stakes sometimes, but you should never go broke.

I think if I have faith and confidence in me, poker gives long-term results ... so if I would start over again

Tbone461 · Aug 14, 2019

Yes I would definitely start again. I would try and learn from mistakes and practice better bankroll management.

CallmeFloppy · Aug 14, 2019

I have lost it all before and should it (when it) happens again, I will start over again.

Igorek1313 · Aug 14, 2019

I always have it. lost won lost won !!

619Leafs · Aug 14, 2019

I have said it before and I will say it again. I lost bankroll many times but I always keep starting again and again.

bgmyshu24 · Aug 15, 2019

I did that many times. It's kind of an addiction.

Starting with freerolls is difficult, but you can, if there is no way to make a deposit, or maybe your poker is not possible, you can bet on sports, fantasy

I lost BRs in rooms many times when i leave small BR on my account after cashouts. But if you winning player, you can consider deposits as investition of your latest winnings... I always have some additional to BR money on my Skrill for BR crush situations.

I start with freerolls about 14 years ago. It takes too much time to build BR, but it is good for learning poker without risk.

I've lost several times my money now I'm playing the freeroll

Matt_Burns88 · Aug 15, 2019

I'm very much a recreational player; I deposited $10.00 on Stars about six years ago and I'm still playing with that $10.00 that is now $40.00. If I lost it all? I can easily reload $10.00!

gabryyyel31 · Aug 15, 2019

In the first two or three years I often lost my entire bankroll. At that time, I used to blame everyone else but less on myself. Bad luck, the other players at the table, the rigged software, all these things I found guilty for my losses. Later with the experience gained, I learned to manage my emotions better, stop playing at stakes that I cannot afford to lose and accept that there are also bad days not just the good ones. Since then things have changed for the better and I never lost my entire bankroll.

Erickaie · Aug 19, 2019

Absolutely

my bankroll goes up from 0 to 5k in a day in tournaments winning and 5k to 0 the next day but i also withraw alot, but my playing style is to hit big and stay up. But generally bankroll management is the safest and best option if you want to progress for the long run

macha2003 · Aug 19, 2019

Assuming you have a bankroll

That was nice

You need to have a bankroll first.
I think I need to create one and stick to it. I keep spending whatever I can afford at the time I am playing. Having a bankroll should be the first step to play more pro than what I am doing now.
I will try and keep you guys posted how I am doing

EarnDAStack · Aug 19, 2019

While I don't particularly believe you should ever completely bust your bankroll especially online given all the different buy in levels there are I think that if you,

A) enjoy playing poker aside from the winning money aspect

or

B) Are a profitable player who went on a bad downturn

then absolutely you should start up again and try and rebuild a bankroll. I would however say that if you used Bank Roll Management and still managed to go broke perhaps some studying before you deposit again would help you build your bankroll again moving forward.

I roll myself pretty conservatively right now (About 100 zoom buy ins, 50 cash game buy ins and about 150 tournament ABI's) If you do something similar to this you should never go broke

goaldriversv · Aug 19, 2019

back when i was first starting in the mid-late 2000s during the poker boom, i lost my bankroll a couple times until i started educating myself about bankroll management and emotion control. nowadays, i'm more mature, i'm more experienced, and i'm more educated on poker. as a result, if i lost my bankroll, then that means i wasn't smart and that doesn't deserve a 4th chance when i already learned my multiple lessons early on.

west28 · Aug 19, 2019

I have lost count, on how many times, I lost my bankroll. I keep and try to built it but I keep loosing it. Its very tough with bit of money and is harder starting from zero. That's why CC is the best on giving us the opportunity to do it with they great freerolls. Ty CC

Criplgamer · Aug 19, 2019

Yes. You don't just quit. You learn, get better and go get it.

Muzyka1996 · Aug 20, 2019

First of all, you should never lose your bankroll, unless you made a forced cash out.

Mortis71 · Aug 20, 2019

kingofnaps · Mar 23, 2020

Sure, it's happened to me many times and I've always come back for more fun

it's a fun game, the point is to enjoy it

alex_dorda · Mar 23, 2020

Good morning

Of course. This is just one step back for overclocking. If you filled a bankroll once, then you will fill in the second and third and so on.

I think the best approach is to never lose your bankroll in the first place

This is why I am such a big proponent of using proper bankroll management. I have personally never gone "broke."

I think it is a myth that most poker pros go broke at some point!

saha2000 · Mar 24, 2020

Exactly, if you manage your bankroll wisely, it is not possible to lose the whole bankroll. I think this question is mainly addressed to low-stakes players.

If you lost all your bankroll, would you start again?
