I inevitably do this. Can anyone offer advice?

This has happened to me on many occasions. I put a few bucks into an online poker site, and build the small deposit up quite quickly.

This time, I swore it would be different. I have been reading these forums, and studying Small Stakes Hold-em. I was focused on playing 1/2 6MAX. I will occasionally jump to 2/4 and have sat in 3/6, but played 75-80% of my hands at 1/2.

I moved my small deposit up quite quickly, and immediately cashed out around $400 dollars. Why?

Because, inevitably, I donk away a large sum of money online, pissing it away, filling up your bankrolls at 5/10 or 3/6. Playing an SNG that I shouldn't play. Doing poor things with my money. This time, for some reason, I has the prior sense to cash out most of my winnings before I douched away some of my cash, and I withdrew to my bank account probably more than I have ever been up in the past.

But that doesn't make up for the fact that I have tooled away yet another shot at profitable online poker.

I consider myself mature, but for some reason, can not crack this problem. I am a winning poker player, now I want to be a profitable one.

This is not a problem gambling post. This is a problem with bankroll management, and I want to know if anybody can offer any suggestions.

Thanks to all of the posters.
