Re: Worst acts of banroll management you have ever seen....
About ten years ago, Binions Horseshoe in Vegas had a tournament series called Hall of Fame or something like that. A very young player about 21 or so won one of the Omaha events for like $19K or so, which was a decent tourney win at the time. This was before the internet and television boom, so a young player winning a tournament was sort of a big deal. BTW, this guy was perpetually broke and looking to get staked so $19K was huge for him. So after winning the tournament he goes down the street to one of the pawn shops and gets himself a Rolex. He then goes back to Binions and sits down playing $100 a hand BJ. By morning he had to sell the Rolex back and completely busto.

Re: Worst acts of banroll management you have ever seen....
I got a friend interested in online poker, tried over and over to teach him how to play tight, bankroll requirements, etc.. He never got it.
At the same time this friend and his wife had tried for years to adopt a baby from China. When they approval FINALLY came thru, I xferred $500 into his Stars acct as a way of congrats and to help pay the bills for their trip to pick up the girl. My friend tho sits down at a $1/2 $200 buyin NL game and proceeds to lose all the money I gave him. Kinda pissed me off. Said friend now just plays for pennies online, which is for the best. L8r... BB

Me, hitting an ATM in a casino and chasing poker loses at a blackjack table in the same day. Martingale can't lose, DUCY?

Re: Worst acts of banroll management you have ever seen....
Their was a quote by Layne Flack, something like my girlfriend jokes around with me that I would bet my daughter in a game if I could, but I would never bet my daughter unless I had the nuts... or I thought the other guy would fold.

That Brunson story about Sam Grizzle is pretty classic.

Re: Worst acts of banroll management you have ever seen....
Things I've done - some worked some didn't. All mine is from my pocket, (-) means I was down a decent amount. Up some is with mainly winnings.
5000NL with 6.5k (all mine -), 5k (all mine even) in my account 200/400 with 9k (up some) 2000NL with 1.8k (all mine even) 15/30 with 500 (all mine -) There are numerous others, which aren't as bad.

Re: Worst acts of banroll management you have ever seen....
When I first started playing poker I put in 600 in FTP to get 600 bonus. In a month and a half of playing between classes I got to aroun 14k. Always playing normal stakes for me slightly above my head maybe, but would drop down after a big loss so never a chance of going broke.
Then all of sudden my attitude changed. I guess surrounding oneself with constant gamble leads to this. Late one night I sit in three handed with Allen C and Ivey on 200-400 limit. Mind you, I was a 2/4, 3/6, 5/10 NL player. I mess around with some drunk friends rooting me on and win like 3k. Then I site a 25/50 NL and remember there were some pros. I only clearly remember Layne Flack, cause he busted me. Well after like an hour my 15k is like 8k. No big hands just continuation bets and calling preflop raises and hitting. Eventually its just me and flack and i run well and get close to even. Then I have button and raise AJ, he reraises, and I call. I push J high flop and lose to J2. I then spent the next 10min begging him to transfer me back my roll. This brings back some memories.....horrible ones.
