Thanks for the post, Aaron. It came during a time where--until just yesterday--I was on a $230 downswing. Fortunately, yesterday treated me very well, and it's now only a $150 downswing. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

In response to your question, I do tend to very much agree with your conceptions of bankroll management. I've never withdrawn a dime from my poker bankroll and have built up a pretty solid (at least in my opinion) bankroll as a result. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Paradoxically, even though I don't use my bankroll for anything other than poker, I still think of it in terms of actual dollars. When I was on that $230 downswing, I just couldn't stop thinking about all the nice things I could have bought myself with $230. Rationally, I realize this is completely illogical since I never had any plans for using that $230 for anything other than poker. And, yet, I still think of it in terms of such things. I wonder why?
