no offense - but it doesn't sound like you have "great bankroll management" considering in one of your posts you talked about sitting out of a 5 dollar rebuy so you could make the money
someone with great bankroll management would never sit out of any tourney to make the money (especially a 5 dollar rebuy) but would try to accumulate as many chips as possible on the bubble
I just took a horrible beat and had 3k in chips with the average stack being 25k. I had no chance of coming back and winning but I did have a chance of getting some cash back. I never play to cash but in that spot I needed to double up 3 times to be back to average stack.

Just lost that hand in a S-N-G. Not a favorite and it was a flip but I'd like to win a flip one time. Just lost a flip the hand before.
Hand before.

Lost that tournament on back to back flips. Needed to make a move with the blinds getting big and I'd just like to win a flip here and there. I just can't catch one right now. I'll continue posting.
