Depends on what you play best. I play cash and am sticking to a 40BI rule when moving up. Meaning I have 40 buy ins for the next level of stakes before I attempt to move up, if I drop down to 35 buy ins I'll move back down, win the 5 buy ins back at a level I know I can beat and then take another shot. Different games require different bankroll management, if you are a tournament player then it is recommended that you have more buy ins at your disposal.

Seeing as you are in the cash section I'm going to assume that you are going to be playing cash, if you decide to go with tournaments = https://www.cardschat.com/forum/tournament-poker-59/

Bankroll management will also depend on your skill level, 20BI is accepted as a standard rule for beginners but if you are still learning the game I would seriously consider having 30+. Other factors such as how well can you handle a couple bad beats and if you tilt easily should come into the equation.


As for poker lingo, do a google search.

If you're new to online poker (I'm guessing so) start off with the lowest stakes and go from there using decent bankroll management (30+ buy-ins for the level you are playing).

HEM - Holdem Manager, a poker tracking program that gives you stats about your own play and others you have played against.

IMO - This refers to a highly advanced playing strategy, which I am unqualified to try and explain. It can also mean 'in my opinion' I think.

I like 11$ games and play 2$ sats into them. You can have a small bankroll with this system.

IMO= in my opinion


Uhhhhh best bankroll strategy can be found in a thread somewhere around here but basically allow around 100 buy ins of whatever your fixing to play...

So for instance if your a micro player and want to play $1.10 SnG or Tourneys your would expect to have around some $100+.
