And how long were you able to play your 'A-game'? (would you say you have an 'A-game'?)

Not don't really worry about it $$$ wise if I'm honest. As my day job pays pretty well, I'm also a winning player and well I can/could afford to play well above the stakes I choose to play if I wanted to.
What limits me is my trust when it comes to trusting any poker site with larger sums of money. Trust that there isn't massive amounts of cheating going on at higher stakes. As it's impossible for any site to completely catch and do anything about collusion(only one form of cheating). Collusion is quite honestly in my opinion one the biggest problems when it comes to online poker. With all these stables, players staking their buddies and friends to think collusion isn't happening on a massive scale already at high stakes is naive and very stupid.
Which is all why when it comes to cash I stick to 2nl-50nl(just enough money not to be worth it for the most part). MTT's now where I play higher stakes it's a lot harder to pull off collusion when you can't control what table you get seated at or table changes and when they happen.
Cheers!!!

if you don't trust online sites, there are also live tables available
I also don't believe in online poker, so I only play the money that I don't have to regret because sometimes I manage to win something
I still haven't figured out if the online poker links allow me to win money with the intention of just playing to increase the limits and then lose all the winnings + continue to deposit
Modern programs are very smart

I trust online sites plenty for what I play and my hobby. I don't need to keep thousands and thousands in an online poker account. I have no issue and trouble still winning despite not studying to improve in over 15+ years now. Yeah no thanks to the live poker experience on a regular bases. I enjoy it now and again.
Besides I'm just not very trusting in general. I trust total of 3 people total in the world when it comes to money.
Maybe they will be but they ain't yet. How do I know? Because there is no way I'm that good a player when I haven't studied to improve in over 15 years. Yet I still make a profit and decent side money. My biggest concern is collusion. There's really no way for sites to stop it. Play only MTT's negates/stops it the best though.

Yes, I have limits in cash games on pokerstars. If I lose a daily limit, I bet on sports until I get fully back in. Do I manage to do that? Yeah, most of the time. In the recent 5 months only once I lost my bankroll completely and I had to start all over again.

You must have discovered that you played without limits, because you simply don't have any
I have been following bankroll management for a long time and never spend more than 3-5% of my bankroll per day. At the moment, my bankroll is small because I withdrew money a few days ago, but it's enough for me. Now my bankroll is $70, and my limit per day is $3-4.

Yes, I have a daily limit that I always stick to. My limit is 5% of my bankroll. This limit is enough to play in my favourite tournaments and gradually increase my bankroll.

Hello everyone!! Since I've only been playing for a month (trying to play consistently) at the NL2-NL5 limit, I set a limit for myself: besides one buy-in, a maximum of 2 rebuys. This way, I'm trying to learn how to manage my bankroll expenses.

Never start playing for more than usual with the aim of winning back after a loss. This is the best way to go bankrupt.I don’t play for money, this way I protect my nerves and health.I hope that maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to win a tournament with tickets for 55 or 109 dollars in a Sunday Million on PokerStars.

If you mean you lost everything in the first two days, and then sit around for 5 days until you can make another deposit, Then you have no bankroll strategy. Believe me when I say it's the most important thing in Poker! I have had days where I couldn't make the money bubble in any game I played, but I always have enough in my Account to try again the next day.
A solid Bankroll Strategy works, in my opinion, and I am in profit because I follow strict guidelines, I never pay more than 1% of my Bankroll to enter a game, never play on the Cash tables, and the only big Tournaments I play in are Freerolls. Tournaments are fun, But there is no Fun when you are losing money and going bust in just two days.
I usually try playing up to 10 Sit and Goes every day, They are my bread and butter, Those games are where I am constantly improving, and usually make the money in most, Sure the Prize money is small but you won't make a million Dollars if you are constantly dropping pennies on the street and just leave them there. "Look after the Pennies and the Pounds will look after themselves".
With a Solid strategy I can lose every game I play and still Play for up to another 9 days without it busting me out, and if I found myself in a situation like that I would adjust my buy-in Stake, to take into account that I am on Tilt, and also adjust my game play.
Bankroll Management Works and most players, like myself who have never made a deposit, never gone entirely Broke, and still are able to buy-in to real money games because they are patiently waiting to make enough money from Freerolls, then start using that money to play buy-in games. I have done it several times on different sites and so have others,
It's not Rocket Science, and there is no secret about it. It's just having the patience to play within your own limits and sticking at it.

That's Fine if you have a 500K Bankroll? but if you are depositing 10K and playing those type of Buy-ins, I would suggest you are out of your depth.
Playing 2 X 5K games after depositing 10K wouldn't last too long if you lost both.
Bankroll Strategy sounds boring, but it works, and I use it every day in everything I do, Even grocery shopping, I have a limit on how much I will spend on groceries and if I am going over that limit, I will leave some of my luxury Items I wanted, If I go to a Casino or Racetrack I have Limits on how much money I am willing to lose, and when it's gone, It's Gone! but I never go totally broke where I couldn't feed myself or get a Taxi home.
It's just common sense, you wouldn't spend every penny in your possession to buy a Car, just because you could, you have to think about Road Tax, Insurance, Repairs etc. Even a full tank of Gas, there is no use owning a car if you can't drive it.
