Poker Bankroll (or rather, the lack of it...)

For the past weeks, I've been saving some money to properly build a real bankroll. Ever since I've started playing, I've never had a separate bankroll and I know I had to build one if I was to play regularly. So I've avoided playing poker and was saving a little every payday. My plan was to save enough and deposit it online so I can play any time I wanted.

Saving enough money was taking forever so I took a chance and played at The Metro last night. And as the case for those playing without the necessary bankroll, I played scared. And I lost. Now my bankroll is back to zero. I have to save again and this time, not play until I have enough.

This is one of those times when I wish I had deeper pockets.
