Bankroll Management

I have been playing pretty good at micro stakes for a while but still manage to lose because of poor bankroll management, what are the things to stick to it and not lose because usually I am playing some bigger tournaments and manage to lose my bankroll because I cant stick to bankroll management and cant take variance. What are your tips that helps you stick to BRM and sticking to limits?

Good question!
I thinks it's largely to do with having the self-discipline to stick to the plan and not over reaching with shot-taking..

This is something I've had to work on too. In the past quite a few times I built up a good BR only to then crumble it by getting overconfident and totally disregarding BRM..

These days I stick to a very structured set of games and pretty much try to follow the 100 buy-in concept..

My bankroll management is not good either, but what helped me to follow the BRM is to set a maximum limit of a tournament buy in (I play mostly in poker stars, I don’t know if other poker rooms have this option)

It's because you are bad player. Good player needs no less than 10 buy-ins

It all depends on your patience and restraint. It is not restraint that ruins your bankroll. You must firmly put yourself in the framework of bankroll management and stick to them.

I have another problem, I slowly increase the bankroll in tournaments, but getting tilt, and in the cache I lose everything very quickly.

well, the rule of 100 buys per any tournament, is very good rule. But if you can´t do this now, i think its a good rule maybe 60 buy ins, but always trying to enter in a low number of tournaments bigger than your bank roll. Always trying to find more tournaments more cheap

Guessing this is a sarcastic joke?

Kristen isn't a bad player at all.

you have to be patient and disciplined. you have to think long term while respecting the management rules of your banckroll. feel free to take breaks when you feel you are losing control and can no longer bear the effect of the variance on your playing.

I think for mtts that you play to be sure , you have to keep like 200BIs BR..
If you play on Stars there are big fields with high variance

I also have a lot of difficulty in relation to the BR, but a big part of that is that I am not a solid BR

That's a good question. Is it self control? I think having a good plan with goals can help you stick to it.

I think everyone should have some kind of plan and they should stick to it
I'm lose my bankroll, now play olny freerolls.
In the future I will stick to the plan, i hope

The only time I could play a tournament bigger than 1% of my bankroll was to win a cheap satellite to get into it. If the sat cost less than 1% and I won a seat I got to play a little bigger than usual. It keeps my bankroll a little more stable and gave me some shots to play bigger.

Freerolls can help you appreciate earning a bankroll.

10 is too less too, it depends of your ROI and other things, patience is the key most of the time but im not very patient

How do you build a new bankroll after you lose? Do you make a deposit? Try building a new bankroll with freerolls. You will spend more time and may begin to appreciate a bankroll.

I’m following many professionals, I learned from them if you play only tournaments, then you should have at least 100 buy-ins, spin-go 500 buy

In all tournament "School ... Freeroll" on pokerstars
I have never reached the prize zone. My best (AA ... JJ) all-ins are knocked out by opponents with a big stack on junk cards, and it starts to annoy.
starting to doubt the honesty of this poker rooms
