Re: Be honest: How often did you go broke ?
I've gone busto online many times, but it probably only adds up to a few hundred over almost two years. Online is more for fun, and I do stupid things like try to bluff at micro-limits and drink a ton while I'm playing [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Except for the first time that I went to a casino, when I didn't know that three of a kind beat two pair, I've never been below my bankroll live. I keep the bankrolls separate -- heck, I don't really have a bankroll for online. I just play when I feel like it. I didn't know about rakeback, bonuses, etc., when I started, and I play so little online now that I just don't bother with them. I play live as much as possible.

Re: Be honest: How often did you go broke ?
Used to lose ALL the time. It went like this: deposit $150, play on it for a month and lose it in one night. I probably dropped about 2K in 2 years.
Found 2+2, put $150 in UB Oct 06. Grinded that up to 2.5k, cashed out $1500 just last week and am playing with a 1k bankroll.

Be honest: How often did you lose your complete bankroll ? [/ QUOTE ] A long time ago at a game in the 'city. I got invited to a game that had a bigger buy in than I normally played. I decided to take a chance because after a while grinding becomes a grind. The game in question was a no limit game with 50-100 blinds and a minimum $30,000 buy in. I bought in for the minimum 30k and sat down. I did ok for a while in the game and built my stack to like 45k, when I had a sick cooler happen to me. I had A9 with a board of A97910. I got all my money in with what I though was the best of it. The other guy had Aces and outplayed me. I have been driving a delivery truck ever since.

Re: Be honest: How often did you go broke ?
First deposited $50 on to FT back in the day, ran that up to $700 using poor bankroll management and running hot at NL$100. Lost $200 and moved $500 to Titan.
Took some swings back and forth and went broke playing blackjack. Just 1 time so far. I have learned from my mistakes. Started playing seriously a few months ago. Using PT, bonus whoring where I can and posting here.
