Re: going broke
 

I haven't ever lost my entire bankroll. To be honest, I don't think I really ever would because I have set limits at which I would drop down to a limit where I know I am a winning player.

That being said, if I were to somehow lose all my bankroll, then I would quit immmeadiately, because this would mean I can't even beat the lowest limits online and that I have absolutely no knoledge about playing poker.

Steal bikes

Re: going broke
 

I think it was Mike Caro that said you should protect a large bankroll more than a small one. A small bankroll can be obtained from other sources, like part time jobs and selling baseball cards. A large bankroll take a lot more time to build.

I have about a $1.5k BR right now, and if I went bust or took a really bad hit, I could always quit poker for a month until my regular job gives me enough of a BR to start playing again.

I agree with Vroomster though, that I would drop limits after going on a bad run.

Re: going broke
 

The first time I went broke I analyzed my game, trying to find where my leaks were...eventually when I got enough money I was a little smarter.

Please Read my poker Blog about Poker and Life -- I'll try to entertain and enlighten.

I've rebounded and come a very long way. Poker is now my only source of income.
