Message: [QUOTE="MemphisGrind, post: 4646467, member: 318625"] This is SEVERELY incorrect. First off if you are a losing player. Which most players are. Then it doesn't matter what you start your "bankroll" with it will go to 0 every time. You start with 20-50 like you said as a losing player you will be at 0 possibly by the end of the day. If you deposit 200-500 like you said as a losing player maybe this will last you a week but you will still lose it. There is no point in calling the money you use to play poker you "Bankroll" unless you are a PROFITABLE player. Not oh I won the local casino tournament or I'm the best player in my free roll league type of win, but tracked all results over years time, and 50K+ hands have a decent win-rate. If this is not you then don't call it a bankroll, call it a poker budget. This way you can take shots at tournaments and cash game out of your range because you have budgeted for more money say once a week once a month whatever you can afford. Or just play free rolls until you learn enough to become profitable. And if you think you can be a professional with a 1K-5K bankroll have fun living on the streets. To even consider playing professionally you should have 6 months of full living expenses saved (ALL BILLS) On average this would be about 12000. Then IF you have proven to be profitable at the limits you are trying to play which at min. would be 2/5 (some say 1/3 but I disagree) you would need a bankroll of at min. 50k comfortably around 100K. Again you would have to be a winning player and have the edge plus have this money only for poker. You will obviously have your name out their and be working with staking sites so this will help, but these would be the min. requirements to play professionally. [/QUOTE]
