I'm afraid this is another classic psychological bit of kidology. The whole Modus Operandi of online poker is to make players feel they need to be skilled and so they provide tutorials and advise punters to buy books on Tournies and cash games. I know, I have the books, been there done that.
Bankroll Management is just a theory which is actually empty.
Its essence is that you should only ever play with a "chunk" of your entire bankroll. Then should you go all-in and lose, which you will do, often, you still have some bank rll left to play with.
Problem here is that when you lose that first chunk you then play with the next chunk. Doesn't really matter what level you play at, at some point you will get all in and/or gradually lose that entire chunk.
Then you move onto the next chunk. etc etc.
The thought that you can "pawn" everyone at certain stakes is utter nonsense. You are fighting a computer not a bunch of humans, so you will never win. It will make you think you are winning to keep you hooked, but gradually it
will leech all your bankroll from you. Eventually you will re-deposit, which will trigger the system to take note, and you'll get a few wins for doing that and then start losing again.
Rinse repeat ad-nauseum until the player finally realises/concedes he is being duped, by which time he will typically have lost £000s.
