Have you lost your whole BR at some point or another? What would you do if you did? Stop playing or save up til you can get back in it?

This is completely false. STFU and stop spreading lies. Please learn to not make posts claiming people have done things that they never did.

?? You didn't hear about Klepton stealing grannymae's bike at the WSOP and her old ass having to walk from Treasure Island to the RIO the morning if the main event. She was so flustered and drained that she massively overplayed QQ as an overpair vs. AA and she busted.

All Klepton's fault. True story.

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.

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.
