Up and Down Week

So my bankroll is now floating around 380, but the week has caused it to fluctuate alot.

At first I was in the 100s due to playing in a cash game I should not have been in continuously chasing "money I had lost", which I realize should never be done. And I hope it was a lesson learned.

I then joined the Sunday Million being that I normally work during the weekends so it was rare to find myself able to participate in the event and wanted to play in a big tourny. I did alright placing 744th out of 8001, so I took a little profit home which basically brought me back to where I was a week ago.

After this fiasco of a week, I started looking up some articles on bankroll management, although I do follow pretty strict guidelines sometimes I break them here and there and realize the importance of that "sometimes" can have some serious affects. 

So hopefully, I stick to the plan although I have a feeling that there will probably be a next time, I mean we are all human and quite frankly, how many people have the bankroll to play, that play in the main event? So in that since I feel I am still ahead of most players. Let's just keep it in the most controlled sense as possible.
