Default Bankroll Management
Am I the only one that believes some people take this term a little too seriously? Sure, it is an important concept to minimize the risk of ruin, but I am reading more and more people who are stressing bankroll management while playing .01/.02. What's the point? What is your bankroll $5? Are there people so broke that $5 is a lot of money to them? The risk of ruin should not even be considered for this amount of money. If you lose that, reload.

Basically, all I am saying is that if your bankroll is at a current level that you cannot very easily reload, you should stress bankroll management. But, if you are playing with a sum of money that you can reload your entire bankroll at a whim without any financial constraints, then you should play over your bankroll and risk ruin. In my opinion, it is much better to risk ruin if you can advance to a higher level than to grind out some miniscule amount of money and waste your time in the process.
