bankroll

Could anyone give me tips or post the link to a thread about proper bankroll management? Thanks.

I don't know if i can post links, so i will only say some basic things that i know.

You should allways keep a certain amount of buy ins to a limit. Like, if you play in a 0,5/0,10 NL you need like 50$ to play in that limit, and you only enter with a certain amount of big blinds. It depends on the strategy that you use, the minimium buy in is 20 big blinds, so having 25 buy ins of a limit is a good way to not lose too much when something goes wrong.

If you start with 20 big blinds, and after winning a big pot, you are like 35, 40 big blinds or more, you should leave the talbe, and enter again on it with 20/25 big blinds.

Allways enter in tables with 7 opponents or more, so you wouldn't pay the big blind so ofter.

I hope this helps, this is some basic stuff that i can remember.

The best Bankroll Tips I got.I never buy in to more than 5% of my bankroll in a sit and go or Cash game.I only but in a MTT with 2 % of my bankroll.So if you have lets say 50 .You can only buy in to a sit and go or cash game for - 2.50 . For a MTT you can only buy in for - 1.00.Hope this helps.

Most online pros go by 500 bb for NL, 200 bb Limit ring games. 1% mtt and 5% sng. If your running bad, your bankroll with dictate when to step up or down. Play abc poker and use the numbers as your ev. grinding is king in online play.

Google...Basic Bankroll Management by Fox for a nice article on the subject.Good luck.

Thanks for the help, I've started the grind to slowly build my bankroll.

I always just stick with only using 5% of your role for any given tourney. Its been working well for me so far.

Today I put $20 into a $20 double or nothing SNG on Pokerstars when I only had $21. I did it because I was on mad tilt but I ended up doubling up. That's about the worst bankroll management possible.

Hey, at least you understand that it's bad BR management!! A lot of players would learn just the opposite lesson, and go right off and try to double up again and be left with nothing!
