Default going broke

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?

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.

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.

Here is my story about nearly going broke.

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