Losing money was one of the big reasons I could never advance my skills in poker. I was afraid to play, especially after being up thousands of dollars in a short time period. I knew I was going to lose most of it, perhaps all of it, and I would often avoid playing because I didn't want that to happen. The emotional terror of losing all that money I had just won was too much to continue on with the grind.

So many people think skill (or even luck) is what makes successful poker players. But the really important factor long-term is bankroll management.
