I started out playing $0.25 Big 2, and lost two big hands in a row (around $10). The thing is, once i lost those hands, my opponent had the nerve to laugh at me, which kept me at the table.
My $40 bankroll was dwindled down to $15 bucks within a couple of hours but i had made 89 POP points.
I then decided that I would stick to poker, but I needed a larger bankroll, so i went to the bacarrat table and put it all down on player. Flop comes 9/8 for banker.

OK this is funny. You decided that you would stick to poker but went to casino and blew it on one game. LOL. You did not want to play at lowest tables? You should have started by playing those limits. You went over your bankroll and 2 hands took bigger part of your bankroll. Bankroll management is the only rule in playing winning poker. Even if you started playing 5 cent games with $40 it would still be over your bankroll but not that far from it.

Yea I agree, my friends did a big mistake too @ Full Tilt.
He played many sitngoes and freerolls, and reached $200 which is nice. But he joined a $200 sitngo and lost everything.. that's a big mistake a good poker player wouldnt do.. so manage your bankroll!
