The importance of Bankroll in poker account <-- my downswing

[XXPXXP]

got a bad swing on Lock

put 60 bucks, and play 1.5 SNG and with 25% ROI, jump to 73, err

_

Saturadays and Sundays got a fairly big swing lost 11 USD...
9 games only win one 3rd.

so just sitting out from table and games, and save my bankroll for future games....LOL

till seeing the swing then realize that bankroll like insurance, it is some thing you put there, in order to prevent some of the worst worst ever situation happened once or twice .....

Hi there,

Very good comment about your bankroll, in the nicest way possible maybe you're just getting crushed on the weekends by the "better" players, try Monday nights where there are a lot of drunks open shoving 74o etc.

In any case I'm sure you will bounce back with even more venom.

Is there any books in particular that focus on BRM as it is something I need to address

It's frequently a part of poker books. I don't know one dedicated solely to it.

I recommend reading about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

Good luck!

I'm currently playing with 40bi for my stake. I'm not playing with the Kelly Criterion....hmmmm....
