Why have you never heard about poker bankroll? Why would anyone ever need it? It's a 50-buy in game. You have a few hundred dollars in your pocket so you call an old friend to get some advice. He advises you to purchase a larger game for $100X your amount. You are ready to root for the guy who has $500.

The problem is that there is one. The $500 is tied into many different games. GilaBola Some you won't be able to see. They are linked to a multitude of other games.

What if you use the $500 to play three online poker cash game? What if you didn't really want to? There are many reasons not to. There are many other reasons that you might not want to do so.

But I do want to comment on the mental markers that you might want to take into account when you decide to allocate your poker bankroll. This is because many of us struggle enough with probabilities of skill and luck, playing too few hands, playing in unprepared games, etc. Although you may not be able to determine which of these things are true, they do not affect your decisions about how to manage your poker bankroll.

Now that you have decided that you are ready to go, you obviously need to determine what your bankroll is. Let's get specific about how to do this.

You already know that in order to begin a bankroll you must decide on the upper limit. This is the maximum amount you are willing to lose. Keep this number in mind (mine was ten thousands) and stick with it.

Here is another simple formula for you to do -

Determine your maximum bankroll and add your budget.

You can also set aside a percentage of your bankroll (use 10%), and take a lower risk for a specified amount of winnings. So, if you want to win $100,000, you risk $10,000 or $20,000.

You can increase the maximum allowed wager on any given bankroll if you wish to play more aggressively. You also increase your chances.

So if you want to win more aggressive games, you need to raise your bankroll up to a point where you feel comfortable - that is not too high but not too low either.

This might sound confusing. I will give you an example.

Let's assume you have a $100,000 starting bankroll. Your bankroll has been frozen at $100,000. You are playing in games you are not comfortable with. Your bankroll continues to fall every week. Within a few weeks, your bankroll has dropped to $30,000.

You probably have plenty of money left to play with. The bankroll must not be frozen so you can play at $100,000 or $150,000, $250,000... anywhere between $100,000 and $over.

You can't play lower stakes than the current $100,000 if your bankroll has been frozen. Even if your bankroll is $50,000 lower, you cannot play at stakes below $100,000.

Bankroll base periods should be mutually exclusive between a cash site and a bankroll. Because if you drop from $250,000 to $100,000, you lose 25% of the new $100,000. The bankroll bonus offered by cash sites quickly reduces cash play to $100,000.

If you insist on playing lower stakes than cash, play in play money games. These games are just like any other game on both sites. There are many losses and variations. However, at the lower stakes, you are still competing against players who are working with, and playing perfect poker.

Micro-stakes gaming is also available. You can buy into $0.25/$0.50 or $1/$1 games. These games can be more risky than cash games. These games are much more risky than cash games. Make sure you have viewed the games before you purchase.
