We've all made mistakes at the tables. What was your biggest bankroll management error, and what did you learn from it?
 
I haven't made any major bankroll mistakes, mainly because I've always been fairly cautious with the stakes I play. If anything, my biggest "mistake" has probably been being too conservative and passing up chances to move up when I was ready.

Fortunately, I haven't also made any major bankroll mistakes. I've always tried to play within my limits. Looking back, the closest thing was occasionally playing longer than I should have instead of ending the session when I knew my focus was fading.
 
My biggest mistake is believing that one winning streak meant I suddenly become an expert. That's were I started increasing my stakes without thinking twice. Everything looked easy until the losses started coming in one after another. And instead of calming down I kept telling myself that I will recover everything in the next round which was a big mistake.
