Bankroll sucess?

mickgreen

I am still not 100% sure how to run a sucessful bankroll, can someone offer some advice please? Much appreciated!

stick to tournaments so you can control your loses. Otherwise on wrong site - lol

You play within ur means.
You never play with scared money.
You dont have a massive chunk of ur bankroll in play at any time.
You only move up levels when successful and winning more times than not.

best bit of advice i was given. Don't play with scared money. If you can't afford to lose that much don't play with that much.

I play about 3%, no ouch factor at that level

take to the tables about 5% of your bankroll

the usual guidelines are

~20 buy ins for cash games (when your taking the max allowed)

~25 buy ins for Sit n Go games

~40 buyins for MTTs

if your a successful player and stick to that, you should make money

This!

If you play scared, you will lose equity in every hand since you'll be folding more often and so people will bluff against you way more.

ive gone broke a few times because of not using BR management, trying to up my BR now with freerolls and see if i can gain from there these days.. lol

Like others have said, between 2 and 5% of your bankroll should never be put down in 1 game, but if you are only playing for fun and playing small amounts i.e your BR is £10 then its no the end of the world if you go busto. If on the other hand you want to start a proper bankroll and play regually, I would look to deposit a minimum of £50. Reason being if you start from £20 your max buyin should be £1, theres only so many £1 games you can do before you get bored and start playing out of your limits.

I did this many times, used to deposit £30 go up and down and eventually bust before reloading, then I decided I would deposit more and make it last. I put down £120 i think, and iv now cashed out numerous times and still have a pretty tasty bankroll which I have not deposited into for getting on a year now.

Wow, no.

I'm by no means a brm nit but

40 BI for NL cash (most say 50, I think 40's fine)
50 BI for SnG's (move up to a reg at the next level at 100 BI's, but take shots before)
100 BI for MTT's (w/o a doubt the highest variance form of poker)

Not really necessary to have 40-50BIs for cash if you're moving down appropriately imo ladyfingrs

You think move down every time you have a 10BI downswing?

They happen somewhat often

40 BI for NL cash (most say 50, I think 40's fine)

Multi-tabling I'd say 40 is minimum, however if you are only gonna be 1-tabling and play pretty snug then 20/25BI is fine.

I agree with Phil, the key is to always play within your means.

If we're classing our bankrolls as the amount we keep in our sky poker accounts, mine is 3 buy-ins for NL50.

It depends on how comfortable and how good your game is for the level your playing. You can play on a 10 BI roll if you think your edge is that big that variance shouldn't really effect it. E.g. a 1/2 reg cashing a roll out for whatever reason then trying to rebuild up from 25nl certainly wont need a 1k roll because their edge is just going to be huge. Plus certain games play nitty and contain less variance because you can nearly always stack off with the top of your range.
