bankroll management

ive noticed a lot of people have hard time with bankroll management...chassing the dream and going broke taking a shot trying to play big too fast.. ill give an example, lots here start from freerolls right? if u win 5$ why would u risk it on 2x 2$ game when u could be playing 16x 30c game? best way to bea variance is to play more games.. maybe you dont win big!! but baby steps up better then a step back!! all im saying is w/e your bankroll is try not to risk it all on 1 or 2 games when u can have 10-20 shots at lower stakes best advice i can give is DONT GO BROKE!! keep it small and work it up. hope this helps , gl on the felts guys

I usually try to only play the daily dollar, or the sat to the daily dollar, but that only lasts for about a day and a half, then I get bored. XD There is already a bankroll management thread btw. :P

oops i didnt see there was one :( btw another thing that may help is the br management lesson on full tilt by chriss fergusson, gives guidelines that make sense!!

is truth in what you say, happens to me about not managing my money, and fast reach into bankruptcy

Starating, I think you should play only that you won or get in freerolls...building a bankroll

I am terrible at bankroll management....i make way better decisions on the felt then off the felt haha

Hahaha. I'm in the same boat, to much drive to get rich fast and not worry about anything else. Micro stakes just bore me a little bit. Love the thrill of putting a bunch of money down but I guess thats why I go broke so often.

i only like to do sitnGo or tournament play, I hate worrying omg i just lost $10 on that hand.

I don't have a bankroll management problem,,,, I just manage to give it away,,,no prob.

I understand what your saying OP.. I like how you said it (babysteps). I have horrible bank roll management and know matter what i always try to get up big way to fast.

This year i plan to take bankroll management seriously.

I think the main purpose of Bankroll Management is even if we experience variance we can still play and not go broke.

Word, I'm usually good at BRM but sometimes end up playing outside it. I'll have 26 bucks and end up playing a couple 3 dollar tourneys even though I know I shouldn't... >.<

I think Bankroll Management is one of the most important rules in poker. I try to follow these rules but like others, it can be hard sometimes, especially if you make a big score.

Yes Bankroll management is what i need to do but it is just so hard sometimes to control myself lol

thats the biggest factor of poker.... i lost $125 in a few tournies because of donks and i got greedy.

I lose my bankroll , but i win any money this year
