Well i have a rule.
The rule helps get over bad times.
Im only allowed to spend 1% of my bankroll on any given buyin.
All my bankroll is from freerolls.
It stands at $700.
Now just worked out $770 - 1% 100 times,even if i lost 100 times i would still have $251.12.
I dont think i will lost 100 times.
Now if i win a 100 times and double my buyin each time my $700 becomes $1893.36.
So 100 losses = -$448.88

100 wins = +$1193.36

I like the maths.

Money Mgt and Consistent Play

Like Woo I keep money management in mind. I never play out of my bankroll range hot or cold. More importantly, and its worked so far is to remain consistent in your play. Generally if I have a bad streak it's due to good cards and bad outcomes. That's poker, eventually it sorts itself out.
