My problem lately is that I've been using poker as a time killer and sometimes when I win a good sized cash, I'll jump into a bigger game that's more than I should be playing. If I relied on poker as an income, I would be more strict with that rule. 1-2% for MTTs ($100 in your bankroll, playing $1-$2 MTTs) 5% for cash games ($100 in your online bankroll, playing .02/.05 games with a max buy-in of $5) But if you're relying on poker as an income, I sure hope you have more than $100 in your bankroll! For live poker 2-5% of your bankroll, so you'll need a much bigger bankroll to affectively keep it running and factor in variance. But if you are a rec player, treat your bankroll as entertainment money, and only buy-in for as much as you can afford to lose. [/QUOTE]
