Well, I do acknowledge that. If I didn't, I would probably have blown my BR already at 50NL whenever I was on a high from a good run at 20NL.. or I'd be doing full-time HU now. The only difference is I don't necessarily follow the rules posted here, but instead I use rules I make for myself based on my own experience and insight (or lack thereof).
Well yes, that's exactly what I'm saying - you'll probably need to go broke to learn this lesson too.

The thing is, I know for sure that the BR issue is a fundamental problem for you, whether you accept that or not. The reason I know this is because whenever you talk about a big win or a big loss, you always define it in BR terms.

Now, look at the posts of relatively successful and experienced players here at all levels - they never talk about the effect of a hand on their bankroll because they have a big enough bankroll for their stakes to render such things irrelevant. The effect of a single play on your BR shouldn't matter, but clearly it does to you. This is a big, big tell - learn from it!!
