I'm definitely the person this post was intended for. I have been playing online for almost 10 years. I've made 9 or 10 deposits of $200 on 4 diffrent sites. I went bust every time because I never used BR management.

When I started there were no microstakes. I was fresh from playing 3/6 at Turning Stone Casino in upstate NY, so I decided to deposit 200 onto paradise. I sat at a 3/6 table, played for a few weeks then busto. I redopsited, sat 2/4 but it was the same outcome. This time I decided to quit.
I took a few months off but got the itch again. For the next 2 years I'd do the same thing 4 or 5 times.
I quit but couldn't stay away. I tried pokerstars instead. Same thing excpet this time I was playing NL instead of limit.

I never actually new what real BR management was until I found 2+2. Actually I never new what PT, rakeback, or bonus whoring was until last November when I met another 2+2er who pointed me in the right direction. He got me to play limit again after I explained I couldn't take the large swings of NL.(I was still playing too high so it was really hard to cope with the losses.)

I never considered how big your BR should be in relation to the stakes you're playing. I've always wanted to make money doing this but I've never been good enough. In fact while writing this I've realized I'm playing at a level my BR can handle but that it's above my skill level.

As far as BR philosophy I had none LDO. I do think yours is perfect for anyone who plans on playing online.
