Bankroll management is honestly one of the most important skills in poker. A lot of players with good strategy still go broke because they underestimate variance.

There isn’t one “perfect” chart because it depends on the format you play, but these are pretty standard and safe guidelines:

  • Cash games: around 30–50 buy-ins
  • MTTs: around 100–300 buy-ins (variance is huge)
  • Sit & Gos: around 50–100 buy-ins
For example, if you play $10 tournaments seriously, having at least $1,000–$2,000 is much safer long term.

Also:

  • Move down in stakes when your bankroll drops
  • Don’t mix poker money with personal money
  • Track your results and volume
  • Be more conservative if poker isn’t your only income
You can find great bankroll management content on sites like Run It Once, Upswing Poker, and even free YouTube channels. The key is consistency and discipline, not just having a big bankroll.

If you in a country that has free bank accounts, open a separate one just for poker.

Use primedope(google it) to estimate the variance effect on different buy ins/runners(field size) for MTT, or cash game simulations and be realistic in your winrates. You should have played at least 100k hands in MTT or Cash game to get somewhat realistic curves. Review the whole calculation and think very conservattive, games are way harder than you think.

Base Rules of Thumb:

50 to 100 Stacks cashgame

200 average buy ins for MTT

300+ buy ins for spins.

My bankroll management is pretty simple. I never spend more than 5% of my bankroll in a session. So if my bankroll is $100, I won't spend more than $5 in one evening.

I played for almost 12 month only the daily freebies on GG. Till now i made 116€ and starting to play 5% of my bankroll, that makes almost every single day a 0,55$ tournament. Also i do win every second day a freebie what makes me profitable in long term. My goal is to reach 500$, then 1000$ and probably after that i will try to reach 10.000$. I'll make some youtube video about it if i ever get to that point.

Bankroll management is essential in online poker because variance can affect even good players. Keeping enough buy-ins for your stakes helps you survive downswings, avoid emotional decisions, and move up in limits safely over the long term.

Go to Gemini or ChatGPT and ask how to build the best bankroll management strategy for yourself. You’ll get an answer tailored specifically to your situation.

Bankroll management is the difference between surviving variance… and going broke.
In online poker, even winning players can lose for weeks.
That’s why smart players don’t just study strategy they protect their bankroll.
Move up too fast? Variance punishes you.
Stay disciplined? You give skill time to win.
Poker is not just about making money.
It’s about staying in the game long enough to realize your edge.
