The thing is, if you're not disciplined enough to manage your bankroll properly, then you're not disciplined enough to beat guys sitting at thousand dollar tables, because you're too emotionally attached.
When the line is crossed in the bankroll department, then the player becomes gambler with a problem.
I know a guy who I keep giving $10 or $20 online to start a roll (he pays me). He can't keep himself on the $2 tables until he's bankrolled for $5 and $10. He keeps moving up too soon and busting every damn time. Once he built up to $50, and sat down at a $50 NL table. He saw a flop with K7 and the flop came out KK7. He went all in against an aggressive high stack and lost his entire bankroll when the guy rivered aces full. He was whining and crying, but the fact is it wouldn't have hurt so bad on a $5 or $10 table. He would have laughed and reloaded.
