I am familiar with variance and its relation to bankroll management and was wondering how one could go about altering play strategy/style to lower variance. The local poker room's lowest limit is $1/$2 NL, and the recommended bankroll is about $5k-$8k. Unfortunately, I only have about $1.5k-$2k. Does anyone have any tips on how to alter play strategy to lower variance until I can work up to a sufficient bankroll?
So far, I have taken a few measures myself that have seemed to work a little bit, including buying in to a game for less than the max buy-in and playing ultra-tight against all-ins when I do not have a really strong hand. This style usually lowers my potential profit, but it has also minimized huge downswings that could bust my bankroll.
