I have lost my mind
I cannot explain it, but I know how to play poker. I also know where my weaknesses are. I also know where I spew money in poor bankroll management situations. For some reason though I do not stop. I have heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again, expecting different results. So here I am, playing short-handed, playing two games at once, calling more than I should and expecting to win, when I never have under those scenarios. Also, I stay up late and then do not wake up for the gym. I repeat this pattern because either 1)I do not care about my poker bankroll 2)I think I can change the results 3)there is some addiction drawing me back to the unhealthy behavior. I am going to go with the addiction answer. Which is probably a combination of 1 and 2. I do care about my poker bankroll, and when I lose part of it, I desperately want it back and convince myself that I can win it back quickly. The truth is I cannot. I must stop this or my bankroll will be gone. When I play within my capabilities, I can win. I must start building my bankroll back up with smart play. I will start today. No more crap poker.

Good for you on deciding to build your bankroll. I would recommend writing down and then strictly following some bankroll rules. You can't get rich quickly playing poker, but you sure can lose your bankroll quickly unless you have rules in place to help you. Good luck at the tables.
