I agree that bankroll can make a difference for some people. I have a higher comfort level when I know that I don't have to worry about making another deposit just because of some bad beats. Also, it is key to pace yourself. This goes for more than just poker. For example, when I am on Vegas trips I set some worse case scenario levels for each day(whether it is poker, blackjack, sports betting or whatever). If I lose more than the quota for a given day then I immediately stop playing until the next morning. It helps limit the tilt factor.
