bankroll management = winning at poker
you can be the best player in the world, without bankroll management you will lose. You want to play and win? It's not as sophisticated as everyone wants to tell you. Read a poker book and get the odds and outs clear. Join a poker school, a great one is pokerstrategy, they even give you free poker money, and get your poker mind started. Then forget it all besides bankroll management. Don't play stupid, that's all you have to do. Don't chase draws like a gutshot. Be aggressive. Learn to stay away from the game and learn to find the right games. What games are you good at, play those, quit the others. It's online poker, you don't have to play no limit, fixed limit or holdem. You can play omaha, stud, razz, horse, tournaments, cashgame, just play the games you beat. That's all what it takes to be good at poker. Play smart, play the right games and stay within your bankroll. When you stay within it magic can happen. It's not given that it will, but magic may happen. Quit the whining, quit the losing, start playing.

and after all, the most important part, just play with money you can afford to lose. Otherwise it's scared money and won't be any good. You don't HAVE to succeed at poker to be happy or a good player, you have to WANT to succeed at poker to have any chance at all.
