That's been my experience as well. Perhaps it's also a discipline thing. I know when I first started, I had a very strong urge to try to make every session a winning one, so I would overbet my bankroll at times to try to make up for my losses before it came time to leave. I went nearly busto with 10 K-ish bankrolls twice before it hit me to either do things right or not do it all. Probably a bunch of aspiring APs went through similar stuff and just never recovered.
